Floral Byline

This time I went for simplicity and comfort. I did some basic pattern mixing and very light layering with the olive zipper jacket. I liked the black version of the jacket so much, that I got the olive, too. ^_^ I'm diggin' the bright yellow version, also. They're pricey, so I guess two jackets is enough for now. Heh.

Picture

I've worn this pleated floral vintage skirt quite a few times. It's one of my favorite purchases from last year. *^_^* Click here to see how I styled it over Winter and click here to see a comparatively tougher look I created with it last Summer. The colors of the skirt are so versatile. I know it will get lots of wear!

Picture

This gold turtle necklace is so cute! I've had it for awhile now, but I seem to be rather picky about how I wear it. It might be due to the fact that the chain is extra long and not really adjustable. I figured the sea of lines above my floral skirt could use something extra and little Hodor fit the bill. :D Oh, yeah. I named my turtle, Hodor. Haha. His name used to be Michio Kaku. It was a bit unwieldy. Hehe.

The striped batwing slub tee is another great purchase from last year. I took it with me on my trip to Austin and wore it so many times. This is my first time showing it off on my blog, though. ^_^ It's super soft and comfortable. I like the extra wide neckline, because it gives the tee a palpable casual vibe. Sometimes, I'll pull one of the sleeves down over my shoulder to further accentuate that relaxed feeling.

Picture

These slotted black shoes are amaaaazing. I love them so much! I forgot to take a photo of the back, but if you check out the product link you'll see that there are zippers at each heel. Just like with the brown sandal flats I wore in this previous post, I was looking for something basic that looked like a sandal, but was sleek enough to go with all of my outfits and not just my casual ones. These are great!

Picture

Like the gold turtle necklace, I find that I'm picky with how I wear these bronze sunglasses. I think dark colors and earthy tones best compliment them and, due to their design, I tend to regard them as Spring/Summer sunglasses. So, that's why I haven't worn them since my trip to Austin last year and that's also the reason why you're seeing them for the first time on my blog, today. Hehe. :D

I think they're great, though! The color is simple enough to be understated
, but the overall retro design keeps them interesting. I look forward to styling these sunnies with my upcoming Summer outfits. ^_^

This outfit is super simple and maybe even a little boring, but you know I have to keep it real and throw some lame ones in there every now and again. Haha.
Not all of my outfits are intense/complicated.
I guess I'm trying to show (myself) that I can do regular styles or whatever.
It's a challenge. Hehe.

You look so gorgeous! I love the florals with stripes. And that pop of yellow! I'm currently obsessed with yellow. I'm almost jealous you still get to wear chunky knits with sandals ... almost. ;-)
Lol @ your turtle names!

Omg, don't be! I can't wait until it's too warm for chunky scarves. That probably won't happen until the end of May, unfortunately. It's so cold and rainy these past couple of days. I envy the wonderful weather you're having! <3

Oh, hey! I'm good man! Haha, normcore. It's so funny to me that dressing in an inconspicuous manner is now cool. Doesn't that make everyone cool without their having to even try? It boggles my mind. It was a great post and I enjoyed reading it! <3

I love this look! Simple for you is quite complex for others. Also there is something about summer that necessitates clean and simple. I've been noticing that as I try to pack for the south of France. I could see this whole outfit would work brilliantly for me there.

I LOVE The Hodor necklace : )

Right on. That's true! Sometimes, I struggle with whether or not I should show certain outfits, because I think they're nothing special, but there's a chance someone might see something inspiring in it. I also try to edit myself as much as possible and I try to realize that not every outfit that I think is totally awesome is in fact totally awesome. Haha. It's a tough process, but based on the responses I've received, I'm glad I decided to share this one with you guys! :D

Loving this! I love florals mixed with stripes, they go so well together, plus you added some nice quirky touch here and there, that yes, it's simple as 1-2-3, but it ain't boring at all! And that midi skirt? super!

A very important post, indeed! I've read similar ones with the same sentiments on other blogs. I, too, suffer from bouts of self deprecation when it comes to my body. I could go on about the things I don't like, but I also try to remind myself of the things I do like. I have this intense sense of humbleness that is fine except when it turns to self deprecation. Heh. I try to find a balance, because while I don't think I'm the hottest thing ever, I also don't think I'm the worst looking person in the world. I regard myself as average and I try not to compare my beauty to that of others (since there's really no point). It was a good post and a good read!

It's kind of hilarious that you call this outfit "simple." It may be one of my favourite looks I've seen from you!!

That skirt is sooooo perfect and I love it with the stripes. Your turtle necklace also rocks my socks.
