My 2015 casual summer uniform is the same as my 2014 casual summer uniform. What can I say: the heart wants what it wants. And what my heart wants this summer (apart from Brandon Flowers 80s-inspired pop songs) is cute floral Anthro skirts, and this Old Navy top.
Since stripes and florals is such a safe combo (sez the fashun blogger), I decided to add another print into the mix. This J. Crew Factory belt has an elastic back, so it’s nicely accommodating, but I’m not sure if it’s as versatile as I originally thought. The (ikat?) print is interesting, but maybe a little busy? I don’t know, help me out here, peeps.
Speaking of things only fashun bloggers probably understand, the nice thing about posing in my parents’ extra long driveway is that I can engage in all manner of twee poses without feeling quite as silly as I would on my own, considerably more exposed property. Of course, my husband-slash-photographer is always there to remind me of just how silly I look. He’s awfully reliable that way. (Love ya, babe!)
If you ever decide that belt isn’t working for you, I’d be more than happy to take it off your hands…. Lol.
Personally I don’t think the print is too busy, but I don’t know that it meshes perfectly with that top and skirt combo. It seems like a belt that would perk up a more subdued print like the stripes on the top over the anthro floral print. Have you tried pairing it with your RED Valentino skirt? When I first saw it I wanted to pair it with black, white and red, but I’m predictable like that.
The Valentino skirt sits too low for the belt to fit, sadly. I am sure I’kk find something I can wear it with, and if not … there is always next year’s clothing swap 😉
I’ll give a real comment — i don’t think the top and skirt work. i like the idea of both just not together.
Fair enough.
I like how both are slouchy and busy… i just don’t think the grey goes with the busy skirt well…. a different colour would work better for the shirt.
