Welcome to Visible Monday #47! If you want to participate, it's so
easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the simple
how-to.
I said I had put my boots away, but I brought the bronze cowboys back for a Spring encore. They just felt good with this otherwise light-hearted look.
I am mixing two families of green today, warm olive green and cool spring green. I didn't dare do this a decade ago; it was always warm-with-warm and cool-with-cool. But this looks fresh to me, and nobody laughed, so -- a victory for rule breaking : >
The blouse is by Ann Taylor Loft and the silk skirt is by Talbots. Boots were thrifted for under $10, and they're by BCBGirls. The beaded necklace was made by a friend.

| Boots in the Spring, and color mixing - such a rebel I have become. |

| I wish I could find more of these silk skirts. This one feels so great. |

ReplyDeleteLove love love these boots Patti! I never grow tired of boots. Did you mention the brand? I need to go back and check. I'm looking for some western inspired boots to go with a western shirt I bought on vacation in Arizona.

I like the boots. They are definitely good for a Visible Monday!
ReplyDeleteI just love your bronze boots. I wonder if I can still manage boots one more time this year.
ReplyDeletePatti, you are definitely a rebel! You go girl! Love the look, green is my favorite color. Looks great on you. Check ebay for skirts, they have it all. That's where I got my red purse in my pic :o) Hope you are having a great day in your pretty boots

ReplyDeletePeople not laughing at your outfit is always a good sign in my book. lol

ReplyDeleteBring out the boots! They look great with your rebel greens. I wore mine on Saturday as it was raining and chilly.
ReplyDeleteGreen on Green, right up my alley. I've yet to try it but now i have to. Thanks for hosting, I've been having a grab time seeing other styles.
ReplyDeleteI love all your greens here, Patti! You've inspired me to go "all green" tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how well different shades of green mix so well together, that doesn't always seem to be the case with other colors espcially red.
ReplyDeleteBoots are always a go anytime of year. I like the toughness they add to cutesy outfits.

Ooo, those boots are drool-worthy. They look perfect with what you're wearing. The silk skirt must feel divine when you walk - no - glide, down the street.
