I poked around in my closet last night, working on an outfit to bring out the best of this new-to-me white top.
Look at all those neutrals!
- Mesh bodysuit - Nylon Apparel, consignment; last seen here in March under green satin for St. Paddy's Day
- White shirt - Luukaa, consignment; purchased here for $34.00
- Skirt - Club Monaco, vintage 90s, thrifted; last worn here in July with these same clogs
- Clogs - Drie VogClog, Fluevog; last seen here in July with this same skirt
I wanted to layer a mesh top under the shirt, and went with my cow/cloud print bodysuit.
Which led me to the grey skirt and clogs (since I've worn them together before).
At some point, I'll layer the white top under a sweater or jacket, but I wanted to show off the back.
Y'all know I love back detail! And that includes the printed seam on my tights with a script "Calvin Klein."
I had fun showing my coworkers the shirt.
Incognito:
I like the scarf over the shirt too!
The stuff:
We're in for a few days of cooler/rainy weather, so I need to start thinking about jackets.
- Silk scarf - fake Louis (Lewis!) Vuitton, thrifted
The clogs were excellent again, no issues, and had many fans in the office.
Crystal bling:
I had pulled my black jet/crystal necklace out as well, but it didn't work with the neckline.
- Silver/Lucite bracelet - Alexis Bittar, consignment, Vancouver
- Crystal bracelet - Juicy Couture, consignment
- Silver/onyx spider ring - c. 1986, gift from Mom & Dad
- Crystal/silver ring - Soul Flower
- Crystal necklace - thrifted, Vancouver
- Crystal earrings - thrifted
Wait, something's missing...
- Wood/steel brooch - Aarikka, consignment
And here's Whateley sleeping.
Aw!
Neutrals for a neutral kind of day (at least where I am 28 miles northeast of Manhattan). An alternative style crossed my mind and I suspect it's more my style than yours…to swap the skirt and tights for either flared denim jeans (like I said, more my style ;-)) or else another pair of flared pants other than denim. As an aside, did you once cover the topic of word use when describing clothing? A pair of socks, a pair of pants, a pair of earrings…only two of these contain two items, hence a pair. Why do we call it a 'pair of pants'? Curiously yours, Laurie
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty neutral out here - clouds, chance of rain, mild. Yes, I can see flared pants with it...jeans are not me, so not jeans, though.
DeleteNope, I've never talked about that. Here's a link that explains it: https://www.britannica.com/story/why-do-we-say-a-pair-of-pants
Hmm, thanks for the link. Interesting. Language can be fascinating (as well as annoying!) Cheers, Laurie
DeleteA good combo, and I like the clogs with it. I rather like the scarf effect, too, but then I'm a scarf person.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
