shirt: banana republic/thrifted, skirt: vintage/thrifted, wedges: rugged wearhouse, necklaces: i made them.since my outfit didn't really have any details or colors, and i couldn't decide on just one necklace, i decided to do a little mr. t action and just wear both. i know that plenty of people wear multiple necklaces, and i think it looks fine, but i've always had this fear of doing it because of this one neighbor we had when i was in elementary school. she wore her foundation so thick she had a speed bump at her jawline where it went from makeup to flesh; her arms were so hairy and she wore so many bracelets i always hated to look because i thought of how it must hurt when the moving bracelets ripped her arm hair out; her fingernails were so long and curved i wondered how she accomplished much (her husband was the housekeeper, so that one's settled); and she wore so many necklaces at once she always made me think of one of my favorite characters: the great mr. t.
so i know i'd told you guys that i wanted to do a giveaway, and i do have it all figured out, but i have to get a little more caught up on these orders first, then i promise i'll share, and i'm pretty excited about it!
I love the skirt, and yep, I have stuff just like that... mostly in the form of pants. Great outfit and those wedges are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethank you! i used to have a pair of pants like that, but i had to let them go for that very reason!
DeleteI really like the top :) I tend to avoid wearing white trousers or skirts because I'm so messy that I'd spill something down it!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, i can only wear white on days i know i'm not going to be doing or eating anything that can get me messy!
DeleteHaha, these childhood memories that linger... I feel the same way about tattoos cause one of my teachers in primary school had these faded blue ones on his arms that looked awful with his wrinkles. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI think the two necklaces look cute together!
Love the last shot, flojo sure looks happy on your head! :D
if flojo isn't inside of my shirt, then her other favorite place to be is on top of my head!
DeleteLOVE this outfit. You always look so wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteaw, thank you, alivia!
DeleteHa-ha I am excited for your give away! That sounds like a scary neighbor that you had! AND I love this outfit. That white skirt looks awesome!

thank you! the neighbor was really nice, but she was SO different from my mom or aunts that i couldn't help but stare sometimes. it's mean, i know ;)
Deletethis is a cute casual outfit. Dont be afraid to add more necklaces. I dont think anyone is going to mistake you for Mr.T :)
ReplyDeleteunless i finish dressing, turn to my team and say, "i love it when a plan comes together."
DeleteHahah - that description was just too funny! Love the layered necklaces, and your skirt, even if it is a little wrinkled :)

Deletei have a few dresses like that, it drives me crazy but what can you do, just stand all day? i guess ;) i love doubling up on my necklaces very much. it is a great detail and yours look great!

DeleteThe double necklace looks good! & These wedges are fantastic.

thanks, judy!
DeleteYour double necklaces look great! I'm always afraid of looking overdone when I pile on the jewelry, but on most bloggers I've seen it's actually a great look.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it makes me happy to see your bird in all of your outfit photos :) If I took pictures inside, I'm sure my dog would insist on being in all of them!
yeah, i feel overdone with a lot bracelets too, even though it looks great on other bloggers. i guess sometimes it's hard to get out of our comfort zones!
Deleteflojo screams at me if she isn't with me in the pictures, and often kona walks in mid snap so you see a blurry wagging dog tail!
You look adorable, but your description of that woman is positively terrifying and yet erotic.
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable as always, and if you hadn't told me that skirt was wrinkled I would have thought that's just how the material bunched together... it doesn't look bad!
ReplyDeleteYour neighbor sounds terrifying, and when I read the speed bump line I almost spit out my coffee. I can totally picture her!
almost all of my pants give me "saggy bottom" syndrome by the end of the day! it is the worst ever!
ReplyDeletelove these wedges. have i said that before? i must have!
