Outfit Of The Day (Etsy Loves)

Just a quick update for today. I am always clickity-clicking on Etsy and I became slightly obsessed with a shop called "This Ilk" after spying the red-headed model in one of my random searches. Even though I am pretty much blonde again, I often seem to forget and always find myself still oogling things on red-headed models.  Ol' Red on Shopbop is a dangerous, dangerous little (tall and statuesque, like a unicorn) minx.  A...minxi-corn? Meow!

After a little bit more looking around I finally decided to grab this necklace.  I do love blouses and tops with girly, frilly collars, so why not have something in my arsenal that can instantly transform darn near any plain top into something sweet and lovely and fun? Ding, ding, ding--sold!

It has been well worth it, as it pairs prettily over both knit tees and simple tank tops. I especially love it paired with a bit of rough'n'tumble leather to toughen it up a bit, mmhm:

(leaning tower of geez-louise-a!)

Outfit Of The Day (Not So Mellow Yellow)

Oh, I meant to post this much earlier on Tuesday, but a little something that looks like this:

{bad sunspot/magical ray-beam of awesomeness not included}

popped up today with its cute baby sister chair in tow, too.YAY!

Just to refresh everyone's memories on this, Husband and I custom ordered the Alister sofa and chair back in February from Z Gallerie and didn't expect it until mid-May, so its early arrival today was a complete surprise!  Look for more (read: better) pictures of it later this week. Two things down in this remodel, 2,343,243,280,429,WTF,234,320 things to go.

It's been mucky with a chance of sucky here in Colorado lately, and with the return of bright colors this spring I was more than happy to take this yellow Walter blouse back out to play to brighten my mood a bit.  You simply can't be sad and tired when you're wearing yellow, right?

I grabbed the belt I'm wearing below from Urban Outfitters earlier this month and I am in love. It probably comes as no big surprise, as most of you know what a bit of a belt slut I am (I'm surprised I even found a man to marry me  but I used to keep it all craftily hidden...under cardigans and blazers and such) but oh sigh.  It's super stretchy and fastens in the back with two snaps, leaving the front to fun and fuss-free.

I topped it all off with a cheap and slightly ridiculous pair of 70's inspired shades from F21 and meow cha-cha-chow:

Blouse: Walter (similar style here) (and here) (and here) (and a cotton tee style here)
Belt: Urban Outfitters (buy it here + take 10% off with code "THEMUSICISSUE")
Skirt: J Crew Dorrie Skirt (buy it here) (similar style here) (and a midi version here)
Shoes: ALDO Goodsite (similar style here) (and here) (and a comfortable wedge version here)
Bag: Chloe Paraty in Rosewood (similar style here) (and here by Rebecca Minkoff) (and here for under $100!)
