sunnies: tumbleweeds (best eyewear ever), necklace: i made it, shirt: banana republic, skirt: vintage/thrifted, shoes: rugged wearhouseso, yeah, this might be one of my favorite outfits in a long time because 1. it has stripes, 2. it has a vintage and/or thrifted element, 3. i can't believe i almost didn't get those shoes but now that i have them i want to wear them with everything, and 4. it's kona approved.
so how was your weekend? mine was nice. i worked most of the day saturday to continue filling orders from all of the sales i've gotten from the lonny magazine feature. then on sunday chris and i had a fun day until i learned a lesson... i always think it's better to be silly than serious, but it's all fun and games until someone breaks a shoe. in the midst of my mc hammer dancing, exaggerated limp walking and ballet in the grocery store aisles - meant to get a few laughs from chris - i felt something that just shouldn't be: a ripped off sole on my clog. it was almost a sad day, but then i epoxied that baby back on an all is well with the world!
also, we watched the cider house rules because i finished reading that book a couple months ago. you'd think i'd know by now that it is an absolute mistake to watch a movie after reading the book because movies NEVER measure up, but apparently i'm some sort of masochist that likes inflicting two hours of movie-watching torture upon myself. all i can say is, if you've read the book, just enjoy that and never, EVER, under ANY circumstances watch the movie. you will want to punch your tv. repeatedly.
I'm going to hire you to be my personal stylist. I'm pretty sure if I knew you in real life I'd be calling you every time I almost buy something to confirm if it is good enough to buy.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Those shoes are amazing!
hahaha! seriously, i'm always thinking that i need someone else to dress me, or at least go shopping with me to tell me what looks the best!
DeleteLOVING this outfit Danielle - those shoes are fabulous! And Kona is too cute :) Sounds like a nice weekend, except for the shoe breaking incident!

This is such a gorgeous outfit!! You look amazing. It's so sad that you broke a shoe, but at least it's not the pretty pair from this outfit :)
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with those shoes, I mean, your whole outfit is amazeballs but those shoes, I am addicted to wedges right now, if that's even a legit addiction to have?! XO Lori
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable, the skirt is the perfect length now. And those shoes are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteas you know i also love nautical so this outfit is also cb approved! and i mean who doesnt love stripes! this weekend i thrifted two striped shirts and had to actually stop myself from buying a 3rd and 4th...hi im cb and i am addicted to stripes. i guess there are worse things i could be addicted to. glad to hear your clog is recovered, that could have been a sad day indeed!
ReplyDeletexo,
cb

DeleteGreat outfit! It suits you so much!

Epoxy for the win! Is there anything it can't fix?
ReplyDeleteI looorve that outfit...esp that shirt, and those shoes! Gah! You always pull off outfits so amazingly, whether I see them on your blog or through your window.
ReplyDeleteLove this look - and I too am a book-to-movie masochist, so I know exactly what you mean (most recently: The Woman In Black).
ReplyDeletethose shoes! i love them!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I almost never watch a movie after reading the book. I just love how reading a book gives you the ability to create the characters in your head, like you know them. And then when you watch the movie and the characters are NOTHING like you imagined, it is always disapointing!
I love the color of that skirt! I agree it is awesome. I love the stripped shirt & heals as well. Solid Purchases.

This is one of my favorite outfits from you, mainly because it's Kona approved ;) Those shoes are so fun, and they look great with this skirt!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your MC Hammer moves, I have a few of my own.
if i watch a movie that was a book first, i have to watch it way after i finish the book. because then i'll have forgotten some of the little details and can usually enjoy it more. i purposely haven't reread the hunger games since last summer because we are seeing it tomorrow and i didn't want to be disappointed! have you read more john irving books? i really like him. a prayer for own meany and son of the circus might be my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThat does it, you've convinced me to actually set aside the time this weekend to hem the skirt I've been meaning to hem. Also, you look KILLER.
ReplyDeleteI love this, and those shoes are amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
