I'm Wearing
Elementz (via Macy's) utility blouse - $24 (similar)
Daisy Fuentes (via Kohl's) gold disc necklace - $12 (similar)
LC Lauren Conrad (via Kohl's) gold owl pendant - old (similar but colorful!)
Gap gold bow buckle belt - old (similar)
Banana Republic Factory white skirt - $8 (similar shape with polka dots!)
Michael Kors gold watch - gift
Seychelles "Kick Up Your Heels" Wedges - $60ish, old (similar)
Things I really liked about this outfit: the fluffly white skirt, the colors together - love minty green, white, and tan!, the shoes (seriously love these - highly recommend Seychelles, every pair I own is ridiculously comfortable!), the pieces individually, how tan my legs look. Things I didn't love so much: I think the shirt and the skirt ended up not working well together throughout the day. They look fine here, but as I moved around, the shirt kept bunching and coming untucked, and leaving it untucked looked pretty sloppy so I had to keep adjusting it. Also, the belt was kind of sliding around, and the owl necklace kept flipping around - wth, outfit? Nothing would stay in place all day, it was seriously annoying. So I kind of like this outfit and kind of don't. I think next time I'll wear the skirt with a more structured top and a belt that stays in place a little better (maybe something thicker). Do you take notes about things that didn't work in an outfit to adjust for next time?

I just really want to steal that top from you and pair it with some skinny jeans! :) It really likes like a shirt that would have so many options for it and I love it with the white skirt!!

If it makes you feel any better, I've been working out before work for a while - and when I miss a morning (like this morning, thanks a lot stupid alarm!), I feel like a zombie because I DIDN'T work out! I hate it that I have to do it after work instead!!
ReplyDeleteMe too Marissa, white just feels so fresh and cooling in the heat! Haha - glad I'm not the only one with days like that! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Molly! :) Omg I am not a morning person either, but I had to do it early yesterday because I was going to a baseball game after work - I was seriously dead by like 8pm I was so tired!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Colleen, so glad you found me through J's blog, and thank you! :) I agree, this combo feels so natural and summery - reminds me of plants and trees!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Bri! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, you and me both - my brain was dead pretty much all day after that! And thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess! I love this shrit too, it was such a great random find at Macy's for a really good deal, so I couldn't pass it up. I definitely want to try pairing it with skinny jeans too, great suggestion! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Svetlana!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute look! I am a big fan of white skirts in the summer and I love that you paired it with a mint colored blouse. Love those shoes too! Thank you for joining the 'Real Girl Style' link up this week!
ReplyDeleteAh, if only I would consistently work out in the morning enough to get to that point, haha :) I do love having it done earlier in the day though, and it's much more comfortable because it's not so hot that early! Trying to keep these things in mind for tomorrow...
