…well, I sure gave it
a go Saturday. My two objectives for that day were to indulge in a little
retail therapy via the Goodwill and to get a massage. If you’ve done any amount
of thrifting you know to wear clothing that you can easily try things on top of
and under. That meant a skirt and light blouse for me. The weather was
beautiful and I felt springy. I ask you, what’s springier than a bright kelly
green and florals when it comes to clothes? But florals where? On my shoes or
on my blouse? Both! I thought. So I piled it all on.
I actually bought the skirt and blouse last
fall (at a thrift store of course) in anticipation of wearing them this season.
I had no idea if green or florals would be “in”, nor did I care. I just liked
the two. I’ve worn the skirt before in this post. The shoes are a recent purchase that almost
didn’t happen. The sales person talked me into them. He said they were going
fast and that this pair was the last in my size (they always say that!). I
decided it was better to get them than to be kicking myself later for not doing
so and having to order them online. I’m happy I bought them. They’re fun as all
get out and comfy to wear.
I added the black
and white polka dot scarf at the last minute, just for a little extra print
clash. It all came together nicely, or not so nicely, which is good right? Voila,
my version of print mixing.
Pssssst….Did I mention that when I went thrifting I picked
up something for you too? Yep, I sure did. Do you like my skirt? (hint, hint).
Be sure to check back tomorrow for Double-Take Tuesday and a slice of spring.
From now on, the featured item is going to be up for grabs for a whole week, so
everybody gets a chance. Random.org will decide who gets it.
I'm mingling at Mom Trends tonight
