I thought I’d be a bit funky today and not match any of my accessories at all. Plus, I don’t have a nude coloured belt, so it doesn’t work, anyway. I really adore this tent dress, I do. It’s got give, and it flatters me, even though I’m a waif with a larger than average chest. The material is soft and airy, but thick enough that I can wear it into Fall (which I can’t wait for), and it’s got unexpected details that thrill me (i.e., bold pleats at the neckline, hidden pockets). The slash painted plaid is pretty bold, but I really like it for its assertiveness without being aggressive. The length is longer than I like, but when I put on a cinching belt, it goes back to being work appropriate, so I might just have to forgo the whole tailoring thing until I’ve finished working that job.
It was cold this morning, about 64F, so I threw on a lightweight scarf and some sheer tights, which came in handy inside, though the temperature soared up to just sub 80F. I threw on my nude shoes to break them in for the wedding during the up-coming Hawaii excursion. They’re more of a Fall trend, nude shoes with jewel tones or an LBD, but I figure, hey, they match my skin colour almost exactly, who the hell cares, really?
A potential back to school outfit, but considering most of my classes are held in a sweltering dungeon with no AC (yeah, attending classes in an old historically marked building is totally ace and by ace, I mean sucks donkey balls), I might not be wearing this until late October, when the weather in Michigan cools considerably. (And shortly thereafter becomes so frigid, it is considered unwise to go outside without pants, closed toe shoes, socks, and a hefty coat.)
