I had this shirt and skirt together already in my closet, musing about wearing them, so when I grabbed the belt back last week, I automatically draped it over the hanger.
- Shirt - Just Cavalli, Roberto Cavalli, consignment; last worn here in September 2024 with my now-gone skants
- Denim patchwork skirt - Free the People, consignment; first seen here in May with shiny boots and stripes
- Boots - Donald J. Pliner, vintage 90s, consignment, Sidney; last worn here in May with my Halston Ultrasuede dress
This was such a fun outfit to wear, all floaty sleeves and flapping skirt.
This is one of the denim maxi skirts that's better than my skants. Yes, you are, you're a good skirt!
Gotta love a skirt that makes your butt look good.
Incognito.
No pockets so I carried everything in my wee bum-bag.
Accoutrements and stuff:
It's a pretty close colour, and I could always go over it with a lighter turquoise. And isn't that a gorgeous belt? I was so silly to let it go, and I'm relieved to have it back. *hugs belt*
The boots are comfortable enough to walk in (although the toes are a little squishy), so I ambled both ways. The temps were not as toasty, and there was a lovely breeze.
- Plush bum-bag - thrifted
- Leather belt - Brave Leather, thrifted
A very clever - but anonymous! - reader suggested daubing nail polish on the spots that are missing the plastic stones, layering it up and even putting white under it to make it match better. Well, I half-arsed it, and it's good enough!
Turquoise bling:
Vix to the rescue! She identified the necklace as Nepali - this is a good article here (no pop-ups) about the art of jewelry-making in Nepal, which is mostly done by women. This necklace was a pleasure to wear - I'm a fan!
And now...off to enjoy the weekend! Thanks so much for being here - be sure to check back on Sunday for tales of adventure!

In looking at all your past wearings of the Roberto Cavalli top I've come to quite like it. The color and pattern are a delight plus it reminds me hugely of a similarly colored (with the addition of fall colors) loose fitting top that was my Mom's. It hangs in my closed year round and your outfit reminds me I should wear my Mom's blouse more often!
ReplyDeleteYay for wearing the recently purchased necklace; it's a beauty! Indeed, the more I scroll to look again at your outfit the more it has grown on me - interesting lines and materials, plus I appreciate all of your accessories (no surprise :-)). Once again, a cool tip for the belt fix. You have a firm hand with the nail polish brush!
Enjoy the weekend!
Cheers, Laurie
