Save The Drama For Your Llama

Let me just say that people have the right to look at whoever or whatever they want. I know that and I respect that. Yet, I still harbor this irrational need to be free of prying eyes when I go out. >_< Sometimes, I'll put an outfit together in the hopes that people notice and appreciate it. Other times, I realize that I look different/out of the ordinary, but in the back of my mind, I hope people don't stare.

It's a strange dichotomy. I know. The thing is, staring is much different from looking. I felt this very intensely on the day that I wore this outfit. I got so many lingering and frequent stares at the brunch spot my partner and I went to. It got to the point where it was difficult to eat. I almost wished we had gotten the food to go and just ate it on our patio. =[ There's an art to admiring from afar. Not everyone has mastered that art, however. It can cross the line into the realm of just being rude and judgmental.

Yep. Thanks for making me feel weird while I'm trying to eat, you guys! O_o o_O Heh. That being said, on the walk home, a runner spotted me and smiled. He kept smiling the entire time he was looking at me, too. Haha. It was a very warm smile, though, as if I had brightened his day. So, that was nice. <3


Anyway, as you can see, I went the dapper school girl route. :P I drew inspiration from the rather distinguished llama socks, hence the navy/grey color scheme. I think that the socks really make the outfit. I noticed a lot of people looking down at my feet, among other places. Heh. I kept things simple with a white vintage blouse, grey/white polka dot bow tie and pleated grey skirt. The navy pea coat came in handy in the late morning, but by mid-afternoon I had discarded it as it warmed up quite a bit.

Despite all of the weirdness from people, I did enjoy wearing this outfit. It made me happy. ^_^ There are a lot of little details in it that I enjoy and I think it represents me quite well. It's quirky, fun, interesting, a little dapper, but still manages to avoid looking overly formal and serious. Hope you enjoy it! <3

Yay! It's warm, again! :DDD Actually, it's supposed to be warm and sunny for at least another week. Huzzah! Last weekend also marked the beginning of the weekly farmer's market downtown. ^_^ This outfit is something that I would totally wear to the farmer's market or on a cozy picnic. A wicker basket would have went with it quite nicely. Hehe. Unfortunately, I wore a different outfit to the farmer's market, because I didn't want to sully the vintage hand knit floral top from my Etsy shop. <3 I figured it would be nice to show off one way of styling it for Spring. The loose knit style is perfect. It really lets you feel the cool breeze, but you definitely need to wear a little something underneath to keep it modest. :P

The fabric is a good quality mix of ramie and cotton and there are delicate floral details around the neckline and all around the hem. You can see better details here. I think the top would look really cute with a pair of dark denim high waisted jeans, a pinafore or a suspender skirt. It's quite versatile. ^_^

It's been a crazy long time since I last wore this blue floral skirt. Click here to see how I styled it for Summer by layering it over a dress. I look super young in those photos, don't I? Haha. Holy Zeus. O_o Anyway, it may be a little hard to tell, but the skirt has two slouchy front pockets and functional buttons made from the same floral fabric. <3 To finish off the rustic, vintage look I was going for, I added an understated, neutral colored pair of wingtip tassel loafers. Yep! I really liked wearing this outfit. :D

As much as I love this vintage floral top, I would really like to see it go to a good home. Measurements and other details are included in my Etsy listing. Contact me with questions! Oh and I'm having a storewide sale, right now! So, feel free to stop on by and see what else I have to offer. Thanks! *^_^*
