Camp Counselor

I borrowed the idea for this color combination from Delayed Missives:

 

But, the decision to dress like a camp counselor at an aggressively feminist all-girls summer camp is all me.  You're welcome.   

To achieve this look, I paired a vintage Levi�s work skirt with a vintage neon pink camp shirt (thrifted).  I added sturdy navy platform sandals (MRKT via DSW) and a couple of bracelets.  I left my whistle at home though.  Oh, well, next time. 

Even though I already own a neon pink blouse, I think I want to keep this one as well; if only because the other neon blouse doesn�t have pockets or jaunty rolled sleeves.  And I think I�m going to keep this skirt also; it�ll be great for wearing with sweaters for the fall and winter.

Happy Monday, Everyone!  Don't forget to enter my Shabby Apple Giveaway!

The Best Earrings Ever (Oh, and Some Clothes)

I am convinced (convinced!) that these are the best earrings ever:

At the very least, they are the coolest earrings I own and I love them.  I got them last Monday when I was looking for a rhinestone brooch for this Saturday.  They are vintage, and for some reason, they were only $3.00!  And, unless the reason they were only $3.00 is because they turn ears green, I will be wearing the heck out of them.  I may even wear them if they do turn my ears green.  Because I�m hard-core like that (which, btw, when I hear hard-core, I always think parkour and it makes me laugh.  For no reason).

I also wore clothes today:

I layered a men�s button-up (thrifted) under a long wool cardigan (Ports International, thrifted) and over black leggings (Ross).  For the accessories, I decided to stay with the �Big Cat� theme of the earrings and added a leopard belt and my animal print wedges (80%20 via Piperlime).  Blah, blah, blah; did you see the earrings?!

Happy Thursday, All!

I Rock a Lot of Polka Dots

I was watching that show New Girl the other night and Zooey Deschanel�s character said that a girl insulted her by saying �You rock a lot of polka dots� in a snotty voice.  It totally made me laugh because I rock a lot of polka dots.  Especially this week.  Tuesday�s outfit was almost entirely polka dots.  And I�m rockin� some more today:

I�m also rockin� an owl belt, some boots and some color.  I belted my polka dot tunic (Eddie Bauer, thrifted) with my owl belt (Ross) and added a berry-colored cardigan (Ports International, thrifted), leggings (Vince Camuto via Nordstrom) and riding boots (Vince Camuto �Fantastic� via Nordstrom).

How about you, Reader Friends?  Do you rock a lot of polka dots?

Love and Tunics in the Junior�s Section

I love tunics.  And I love this tunic:

And yes, I found it in the junior�s section.  I usually try to avoid the junior�s section when I�m shopping, for a couple of reasons.  One, I�m not a junior and haven�t been one for years (don�t worry how many years, it doesn�t matter).  And two, I don�t have the body of a junior, and haven�t for many years (again, let�s focus, people.  Focus.).  But, every once in awhile I like to troll the junior�s dresses because they make them so short these days (the dresses, not the juniors) that they make perfect tunics for giants like me.

I layered today�s tunic/dress (Weaver via Ross) over a long-sleeve tee (Gap) and leggings (Target).  I added the obligatory boots (Born Crown �Sosie� via Nordstrom) and belt (Gap) and was out the door easy-peasy.  Easy-peasy being, of course, the preferred amount of effort for a Friday.

And it is Friday, so everyone have a good one and an even better weekend!
