You know I like easy dressing. The Florida climate and my casual workplace encourage it too. So today I chose two easy pieces and a couple of basic accessories, for a simple yet Visible result.
The blouse is by GAP, and has a feminine ruffle at the neckline - hard to see in these pictures. The Old Navy skirt is several years old, thrifted and well-loved. The overlay of netting and sequins is dressier and swishier than my denim pencil skirt.
A couple of bangles, a blue suede belt, and drop earrings finish the look. Comfortable-but-not-dull sandals from White Mountain are perfect for all-day wear.

| The fingernails are blue too - a coincidence, I promise! : > |

| Cost-per-wear for this skirt has to be about fifty cents. |

You look feminine and able to beat the heat at the same time - very difficult to manage and be age appropriate! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy how low the cost per wear on our most loved items is?
ReplyDeleteI am all about easy dressing these days too! It is really HOT in Southern California and I just don't want to wear anything complicated.
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous!

Lovely jewellery! :) x
ReplyDeleteI'm all monochrome today, too! And also with the easy pieces. You look gorgeous, and thanks for hosting, as always!
ReplyDeleteIt's very colourful this week! Everyone looks wonderful. Love your skirt Patti!
ReplyDeleteThis is why a well edited closet works! These pieces look great together, still very you, but could mix and match well with many other things you own. Your hair looks amazing today btw.
ReplyDeleteI like your cool easy style Patti. You always look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFeminine and flirty! And I like all the different shades of blue - so fresh and lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou look just awesome, Patti - I love those shoes.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for doing Visible Mondays - I love seeing all these amazing participants.
The detailing around the hemline with the pretty top and stencilling in the sandals are so wonderful together. Plus, your pops of blue in the bangle and belt are perfect accents. Breezy and cool as usual!
