This week has been fairly hectic (I`m sensing a pattern...) so I haven't been allowing for a couple of minutes when I get home to document stuff. Which I usually regret, since you never remember what it was made an outfit work!!
I`ve had this 80`s era lime green houndstooth pencil skirt for a year or so, but never wore it- it was too boxy, and I always just found wearing a dress to be easier. However the colour is delicious, and now that I am wholeheartedly embracing the idea of skirts (from pencil, to tulip) I thought I could take this out for a spin. I really just had to take it in slightly at the hip to fit- a couple of stitches.
Something I've been looking for awhile is a black knit with a bow or tie at the neck- just never found many to choose from. I finally found one at Value Village a few weeks back- it's a Canadian brand- Tristan and Iseut, a pretty good fit and, best of all, magically cat fur repulsing (oh what a sweet characteristic!). So when I came across a See by Chloé lime green houndstooth skirt online I thought hmmmm....oh right...!

Oooo, a green houndstooth! I haven't seen that before, but it really adds a youthful spin on a kind of "old lady" print (though I do love that old lady print). The black sweater with the bow just adds a sweet little touch it the outfit, too! It's awesome when you see something you like and then remember that you already own something similar to it!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? They keep saying, "Shop your closet!" Well, I guess when you reach a certain point, you actually DO have a little bit of everything in there ;P
ReplyDeleteThat doesn,T stop me from thinking, "oh, that skirt is on sale for under a $100 on the Outnet- I need to buy it!"...
