Silk blouse and wool skirt? Thrifted Shoes? French Connection sample sale Purse? Tignanello, thrifted White necklace? Thrifted Crazy necklace? Banana Republic
Maybe if I were wiser, I wouldn't have worn the tightest skirt to go out for breakfast at my favourite place. The tiny waistbands of vintage skirts have others gasping for breath as well. I'm pretty sure, the waistband was the only thing that kept my internal organs from shifting that day. Usually my epidermis holds everything together but it was a holiday weekend, so it had the day off and the waistband took over and kept me together.
Ha. That last paragraph veered very quickly into silly talk and to top it off, I just wrote the word epidermis. Never thought I would have the opportunity to do that on the blog. That word reminds me of being in Grade 1, when a bunch of Grade 8 kids went up to us and asked what we would do if our best friend's epidermis was showing. Obviously it was a trick question (especially difficult for me because I had recently immigrated and I was still learning English...) because we had no clue what an epidermis was and it sounded... kinda dirty. My best friend told them that if she saw my epidermis showing, she would laugh and run away. My tender feelings were hurt but I got over it just in time to be her maid of honour 16 years later. After all, it is my organs that are shifty, not my loyalty to friends.

I like the length of the skirt! I'm also excited that you've used the word epidermis. I think yours is the first blog that I've read to have used that word :) And that's why I love it..
heee i still remember that episode of the simpson's where nelson makes that same joke...playground humor never gets old.
The vibrant color of the skirt is just gorgeous and I love the necklaces!

Such an extra amazing outfit. love the colors and cannot believe that bag is thrifted! Hilarious about the friend
I love the double necklace and skirt! I also thought the word epidermis was dirty and panicked the first time someone told me it was showing.
That epidermis story was hilarious! Where did you immigrate from?
Gorgeous outfit! Love that skirt on you!!!

Daily Desirables- I immigrated from Korea. My dutch parents went there for a 10 year contract and I was born there but my passport is still Dutch!
And the skirt has pockets...a little waist but it redeems itself with pockets!!
haha a similar thing happened to me when I was 11 this boy I liked asked me if I was a homosapien...I panicked because it had the word homo in it. So I said no...then he made fun of me because I wasn't human :)
HAHA, I love it! XOXO, www.NatalyasCloset.com
Well, you might not have been wise to wear the skirt to a yummy breakfast... but you sure do look damn lady-like! And I'm going to have to steal these tricks from you: wear a longer length skirt= class. Tell little kids that their epidermis is showing = a great saturday at the park.
i kid. honest! xx
I love this! For some reason I always think to colour block with 2 bright colours, but I love this bright skirt with the light neutrals...it's perfect!
The skirt flows like it is silk. I first admired the skirt and then the shoes and then the necklace. And then I saw your epidermous and I gasped!
how can you resist those fantastic vintage skirt though? the color of this one is simply gorgeous!

Goodness! What a beautiful skirt! The colour is spectacular!

So true about vintage skirts.
The waistband thing has always been a mystery to me since it can fit perfectly everywhere else.
Are we misproportionate, or were the ladies of the past.....???

P.S. your blog is simply great! totally love it!

I was always tricked by that joke too! "Your epidermis is showing!" So obnoxious.
I love this outfit, you look stunning as always!
I love this outfit!! That skirt is AH-mazing!!! The color is sooo vibrant. You have a great eye for thrifting

Ooooo, I love the color of the skirt!
I love the saturated color of the skirt and your "crazy necklace". I remember that epidermis joke too!
Ha! I totally remember that. I'd do that to my sibs a lot...
LOVE THISSSSSS. As always you're the bomb.
You are so great at thrifting! It's also hard to get rid of stuff when you found it hiding in a thrift store because it represents such an accomplishment!
This outfit is DA BOMB! haha :D
Oh my goodness, those eighth grade kids sound evil/awesome which are adjectives I tend to get confused sometimes. Totally on a mission to work the word epidermis into my daily vocab from now on. Hehe. Epidermis.
LOVE this outfit!
Great outfit! And love those shoes - how I wish I can comfortably walk in high heels like those!

You're a thrifting MACHINE! I love your skirt, the color is beautiful. I'm not gonna lie, I had to look up the word "epidermis" online. I admit it. I thought it was a type of skin treatment, like electrolysis or botox or something! But I was wrong.
That fuschia skirt maakes your outfit. Great choice!

The colour of that skirt is absolutely gorgeous!!! And I love how you paired it with neutral colours :)

siiiiiiiiigh! i just wish that skirt wasn't thrifted... so i could go out and buy the same one!! darn. :)
This is why I hate pants. The constraint that makes you feel like a sausage in casing that's about to explode....mmmm sausage. ;)
Such a lovely skirt - the color is perfect!

The color of this skirt is stunning, and you really let it shine by pairing it with a neutral shirt and neutral shoes.
Great color! So gorgeous!
I freakin' love this tan-purple color combination, and will forever envy your collection of silk blouses. I hear you on those vintage waistbands too, although I make it a rule not to buy any clothes that prohibit eating delicious food - a girl's got to have her priorities! :)
You're rocking that skirt girl- your epidermis will have to deal!
This is my favorite skirt on you. I love it since the first time you wore it. The color is amazing and the length so flattering! Very nice pairing as well. I would have never worn two so big necklaces together, but this looks great, I will have to try it out :)

aaah, we've all been there with the almost-fitting thrifted skirts. i very nearly bought these amazing vintage camel stirrup pants that i had to take a deep breath in to zip up this weekend, but decided i didn't need one more thing that would only eventually end up in the "donate" pile. such a beautiful skirt, though, and you look lovely!
gorgeous shade of the skirt,and shape as well!:) u look lovely!!!!amazing necklaces!
