The Sound Of Color

6/25/2015

I love this vintage denim pinafore from Fiery Finish Vintage. <333 When I first wore it, I did kind of an edgy look and I had alluded to the possibility of wearing it in a much sweeter way. Well, that day is finally upon us. ^_^ I stared at the pinafore for a long time and wondered about how else I could wear it, other than in the most obvious of ways. That's how I got the bright idea to tuck it into a skirt. :P~

This candy striped top sings to me. It's so vibrant and colorful. I love it! <3 Also, a pinafore with a skirt? Yep. Yeah, dudes. I just did that. This won't be the last time, either. I'm pretty sold on it. Hehe. :DDD

This new way of wearing a pinafore opened up a whole slew of possibilities. It's such a simple thing to do, too! I don't know why it has taken me this long to try it out. >_< Anyway, I decided to use the matching belt that came with my top and wear it 'back to front,' as my Jamaican mother would say. Heh. I struggled with whether it was too matchy matchy, but my partner liked it. Good enough for me!

Oh and we were on our way to a coffee shop when these photos were taken. My Player Two had some work do to and I always feel like I could work on lesson plans hehe, so we thought we'd get a little fresh air, first. When we got to the coffee shop, the barista said, 'You always look so cute when you come here!' She then proceeded to shower me with compliments and then asked, 'You don't mind if I tell her [the other barista] how much I like your outfit?' I told her, 'As long as you don't do it in front of me,' because I was beyond embarrassed. She completely ignored me and did it, anyway. >_< Haha.

I tried to hide behind my partner and he kept moving. Bastard. You know, I think I prefer when people just stare and give me weird looks. Apparently, I can't take compliments. I shrivel with every kind word. Obviously, I'm not celebrity material. Hahaha. I wouldn't be able to handle it. Anyway. Yeah. Bye. >_<

The barista was right! I also love your outfits and you know that - I keep on telling you that! And this time it's the same, I loved the top, the denim over it and the skirt - and well, the satchel too! Not matchy matchy, don't worry, just perfect! I loved the belt "back to front" :) I agree with the girl, you look always so beautiful!

Haha, I know what you mean! Although, I'd rather get an upfront compliment than a stare, because being the insecure person that I am, I would rather know that that it isn't about something bad or funny!

I love the pinafore with the skirt ;-) Yellow and blue are so refreshing together.

I have that yellow skirt! I've had it for a while and love it so much I just purchased it (on sale) in an orangey-red color as well! I love the way you styled it and I totally dig the matching belt! XO

Ack! I'm so jealous! Hehe. I want this skirt in every color. >_< My only complaint is that it wrinkles very easily. :F

So cute! I LOVE the yellow skirt, the denim, the colours... Squeeee!

Do you have any tips to reduce bulk with all your layering? I feel like the denim could get bulky under the skirt - but you always look amazing. Share your secrets, please?

Hahahah, aw man, that's so sweet of the barista! I love getting compliments like that, it shows that people like what they see and you make their eyes happy, which is cool, yup! :D
You are looking like a ray of sunshine here, the layering here is so spot on my heart melts. The colors are one of my favorites here, especially yellow ^_^

Ha, so cute :) I am the same, compliments freak me out sometimes, even though I think in my head they are really nice, but when I get them, I freak out, haha :)) You do look awesome though, love the skirt :) xx

You continue to impress with the unexpected layering. I never would've thought to tuck that pinafore into a skirt, but here you are, making it look like it was made to be worn that way!

What a great remix of this pinafore- I never would have thought of layering it this way! That skirt looks like the perfect blend of comfy and cute, I wish I could go on a Modcloth shopping spree right now!!

Anna

Hehe. I wish I could do that, myself! :D

I'm the same way! Compliments make me feel awkward. The first thing I thought when I first saw this was "she looks like princess Belle!" I love the bright top you layered underneath the look :)
