I thought I'd continue the flow with these olive joggers, but I ended up disliking them by the end of the day.
- Blouse - Just Cavalli, consignment; purchased here for $27.00
- Pants - Lady Dutch, thrifted; last worn here in April with a different snakeskin top
- Shoes - Super Fine Cardinal, Fluevog; last seen here in June with flounces and orange
They were always an experiment for me, anyway.
I'll have to try the top with something else - maybe my white jeans?
It felt wasted with this look.
I like it from the waist up?
Yeah, those pants are doing nothing for me. GONE!
Masked up.
I barely saw anyone though.
Incognito.
I found a signature on my top.
I like that - it means it's a custom print.
Accoutrements:
This scarf was the best match.
- Scarf - Forele, thrifted
- Mask - Lazy Susan's
The stuff:
I wasn't happy with these shoes with the outfit, but they did carry the gold theme well!
Snaky bling:
And one shark!
- Snake necklace - vintage expo
- Snake cuff - Whiting & Davis, vintage 70s, vintage fair
- Shark cuff - Tom Binns, 2012, consignment; purchased here for $179.99
- Pivot ring - consignment
- Amber ring - c. 1996
- Gold hoops - 5th anniversary gift from L
Did you see the necklace tucked under the collar of the shirt?
Oh, I do like this top very much! I love the way you have jewelry to match the theme! I'm sorry the joggers didn't make the cut. I have never had any luck with them. I just always feel like I'm wearing dressed up sweatpants! They look so cute on other people. I don't know...maybe it's just in my head!

Joggers have always seemed like sweatpants to me as well, I think the orange would pop so nicely against white! where as the olive (a colour I love!) made the orange dull?
DeleteThanks, Marsha! I do love a theme! Yeah, I gave them a good shot, and now it's time for them to go. They don't make me feel fabulous, and I don't have room in my closet for things that aren't ringing my bell.
DeleteAgreed, w/Mame! Yes, the olive doesn't let the top shine, and it deserves to be seen!
DeleteI think you look terrific but if you're not feeling the pants after so many tries, a new home would be fitting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sam! Yup, when you're not feeling 'em, they have to go.
DeleteI'm a sucker for golden shoes... anything golden actually. We have a heatwave het so the only thing I'm wearing are my bikini's.
ReplyDeleteI've read about your heatwave, Nancy! I love gold shoes too - I can't resist them!
DeleteThe orange snake print blouse is a stunner, but you're right, the olive joggers does not do it justice. Joggers be gone, indeed! Loving the snaky bling, I mean, what else would you wear with that blouse :-) Sorry for keeping my comment short and sweet: like Nancy, we are having a heatwave and my brain is refusing service at nearly 40°C. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, 40 degrees!! I can't even imagine, Ann.
DeleteI know, I gave those joggers a lot of leeway, and they've even been in the giveaway pile before! It's time to go - I have better things to wear with this awesome top.
Olive green is one of my favorite colors and I love the shoes with the outfit. Very I dream if Genie!
ReplyDeleteHa, love it, thanks, Kim!
DeleteVery autumnal colours which is perfect for this July on the west coast :( I love that blouse and would love to see it with your white jeans or a pencil skirt? As always you look great and your jewelery is fantabulous!
ReplyDeleteYup, I'll be doing one of those next time I wear it, Robyn. Thanks so much!
DeleteThe top is beautiful. And I remember you wearing these trousers in another outfit that I found terrific.
ReplyDeleteGreetje
I've always been a little iffy on the trousers. I'm not sad to see them go.
DeleteThe blouse and shoes would be amazing with a plain black pencil skirt to make them pop!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's too easy - plus, do you know me? :) I don't own a plain black pencil skirt - too boring! But I do have other stuff I can try.
DeleteI do like olive and orange together but I agree - the top is the real standout here and I can see why it made you disappointed the pants didn't continue the awesomeness! You did get good value from them though!
ReplyDeleteI did - my cost-per-wear is great on them. I have ideas for the next wearing of the top.
