Today's outfit was totally inappropriate...and appropriate.
Neither reason for either 'propriate is my
age, though. F**k that. I'll wear short skirts if I want to. With bare legs! Hide your eyes!

No, my outfit was inappropriate due to the weather. This fluffy "chicken" top was inappropriately warm.
Especially because I have to wear a camisole under it to keep it from being see-through. Much sweating by the time I walked home with the sun beating down on me.
The skirt was wholly appropriate...
...due to the weather also. Holy hot flashes! It's suddenly summer out here! I didn't even bother wearing my fishnet nylons.
The extra short slip I wore under the skirt was also inappropriate. Didn't really need the extra layer, or the security it added.
This skirt stayed put admirably, and didn't feel short at all. Plus it has pockets. However, I am putting it into the fall pile, as I think the colours will look great with tights, boots and sweaters. The waist on it is a bit too big, so it sits low...better with a sweatery-type of top.
The stuff:
My legs are aching from the sprinting at Ulti on Saturday, so easy shoes were a must today. These were a dream, once again. Love!
Shiny bling:
All favourite pieces.

I love your fluffy chicken top with your new skirt, Sheila! Shame it was too warm though! It is such a great top. I love the colours and print of your skirt and I agree that it would also look great with tights and boots in the cooler months. Your shoes are fab and that's great that they are comfy too. Plus your legs look amazing in this outfit, Sheila! ;) XXX
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sasha! I knew I was risking it. Aw, you're too sweet, hon.
DeleteLoving that chicken top and those fab sandals. Shame about the overheating, though.
ReplyDeleteAge appropriate? While I've still got breath in my body I'll wear whatever I feel like wearing - we're never going to be this young again! xxx
Thank you, Vix! Heh, you know I feel the same way.
DeleteEven if this wasn't the best outfit for the weather it does look lovely on! And I look forward to seeing that skirt more in the colder weather. I think you should wear what makes you happy no matter age - it is just a number after all! I love that you share that message so brilliantly on your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Mica! I totally agree.
DeleteYou had me at inappropriate. Super cute skirt----can totally see the fall styling.
ReplyDeleteLol, thanks, Becky! I'm looking forward to this in my fall wardrobe.
DeleteIt's funny how we name our items although I have yet to call anything of mine "chicken" !
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of those fluffy Easter chicks, ha ha!
DeleteThat skirt is soooo cool! You have nice legs so show 'em off!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
