I like this loose-over-fitted silhouette as a change from my usual waist-defining looks. It feels modern and youthful. I chose a soft, flowy gray tee by Gap and paired it with my cobalt pencil skirt. Check out the tee from the back - it has great details!
Accessories included my most unruly hair, a Scrabble-tile pendant (Etsy) and emerald bangle (thrifted). And! My new Poetic License shoes, via shopping site Ideeli, for just $30. I had to show these in close up because they are truly fab: they're wool on the outside, with leather accents and a purple button-flower (Hello, Megan!).

Those Shoes - WANT! The whole outfit is so fresh and fun but I'm dying for those booties! I just bought a pair of shoes from ideeli a week ago! Look for them in a future post.

I am totally in love with your magnificent boots, Patti! And you look gorgeous with the unruly hair, I'm a big fan of unruly hair as it's all I can ever manage!
ReplyDeleteReally love the booties! The top is great too - love the buttons down the back!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are awesome!! I also really like your new photo background. Cute look, Patti!
ReplyDeleteI just love cobalt and grey together.
ReplyDeleteCute shoeties!
Those shoes are FAB!
ReplyDeleteI like your unruly hair - it looks youthful, also! But those shoes kind of steal the show for me. I don't have any fabric shoes. I should get some - they look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes! and the way your top is buttoned in the back, you look great in blue too :)
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous, Patti! Love the Poetic License shoes - I have several pairs and love their unique styles.
ReplyDeleteOh Patti--you look fabulous!! I LOVE this outfit!! Those shoes are drool-worthy!!
ReplyDeleteLiking your shoes too & I have been sewing some loose tunics lately to wear! They are comfortable & can be stylish, hope you enjoy the start to your week!

I am a curly hair girl, too! 'Love your outfit. That T is great! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
ReplyDeleteI so heart poetic license shoes. I purchase them at HSN.com, you got your pair for an awesome price. Your entire outfit is really pretty, you look good girl!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this outfit, the fab shoes, the variety of blues, the cool tee, and your beautiful hair. I wish my unruly hair looked half as good as yours!
ReplyDeleteThose are such interesting shoes. I am looking forward to seeing more of them on the blog. I think that cut of shoe at the top of the foot does such a good job elongating the leg.
ReplyDeleteHello spring! You look beautiful in your cobalt skirt & that cute shirt! The shoes are pretty awesome, too!
ReplyDeleteI would like a bit more cobalt in my wardrobe - it is such a great colour. I love the skirt and I LOVE the shoes! I think the accessories are great, especially your hair. You may think it's unruly but I always think it looks great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great chic, yet comfortable look
ReplyDeleteThe button detailing down the back is fabulous and let's talk about those shoes!!
Brett
Beautiful and stylin as always! Those shoes are killer!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are great! I love the style. I'll check that site out. I also like the long over fitted. I always feel so comfortable...so right...when I wear that combination. Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cobalt skirt! And the back detailing is so cool on the top. You should back into rooms so that people can appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteChic as always! Thanks for hosting this soiree!
Patti, thanks once again for hosting Visible Monday... what a fabulous collection of amazing women this has become!
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you! Looks comfy but elegant at the same time. I don't know how you do it all the time -- you always look so put together. I love the cobalt blue (I went with that color as well).
ReplyDeleteThis royal blue color is one of my favorites this season!!! And the skirt looks great on you!

LOVE those new shoes.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are awesome in the most awesome way. I also love the cobalt blue pencil skirt. Nice and visible.
ReplyDeleteI love heathery t-shirts with buttons (I'm wearing one as I type) and the heather/jewel tone combo is a winner. What a coincidence--my VM entry is strangely similar to yours as far as silhouette, scooped neckline, blue/gray/green colors and even green bracelet.
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes and the color of your skirt. What a cozy outfit!! Thanks for hosting! XO :)

Very very awesome new shoes! Love booties with skirts, it is such a good look. Your top also looks very soft to wear?
ReplyDeleteHave had a sick day too, so will spare you my pjs - later on tonight I will hook up to Visible Monday in Saturday's posh outfit!
Great look!! This is similar to a lot of my everyday looks. The blue pencil skirt keeps it interesting color-wise and the tee with it makes it a really modern look-- nice fresh look!
ReplyDeleteBecky :)
Patti, your shoes look great! And I like the color of your skirt. Great choices!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit! I love that blue skirt and that button down shirt.

Those shoes are awesome and Patty, I love that skirt. I want one in the same color. :) And loving the buttons on the back as well. :) Finally got to link up again this week. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThese shoes are not only made for walking. Very stilish ♥
ReplyDeleteSabine
Those heels are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a youthful look. You look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI think I need a cobalt blue pencil skirt in my life, I like how you dressed it down with a simple grey top. The necklace is my favorite accessory of yours. Looking amazing Patti!! Thanks for hosting!

oooooooooh, those shoes are super nice! They are like a really lovely expensive tweed suit in shoe form!!!!! OOoh, can we have a scrabble close-up? I have one too- and earrings!
ReplyDeleteI like this silhouette on you -- something to keep in mind during the humid summer when you might not want something encircling your waist.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes? What can I say that hasn't already been said? Awesome!
Love the new shoes! So cute. Poetic License makes some of the coolest shoes... I only wished they had a little more durability.
ReplyDeleteThat bright blue skirt is gorgeous!!! And how fun are these shoes - this is a great look - you are beautiful!

I love that bangle and especially your new shoes with their interesting shape and toecap. I'm so happy to be back and joining up here this week - thanks ever so much Patti for being so welcoming and gathering everyone here!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are amazing, Patti! And I love the mix of cobalt and aqua blue against the gray!!! ~Sarah
ReplyDeleteUnruly hair? I'd die for curls like yours!
ReplyDeleteLove the cobalt blue with the grey and the boots rock! x
Wow, too cool shoes. I guess you do have poetic license. I bet you got dressed from the shoes up this time. I know I do that when I've got my fav pair on! Anyway, you look very cozy and stylin'.
ReplyDeleteHi Patti, I have caught a flu bug so posted Saturday's pic - hope that was ok. I felt great in my outfit, so I thought it fitted VM!
ReplyDeleteStill loving those little boots and the grey top sets the whole outfit off perfectly. Relaxed but very stylish.
Congratulations on your new Poetic Licence shoes, they're fabulous! They're in fact made by my favorite shoe brand, Irregular Choice. The emerald bangle just catches my eye every time you wear it. It's simply the first thing I see every time - isn't that strange?
ReplyDeleteThe way you've combined the shades of grey with blue is beautiful, and I love the buttons on your back - great!
Congratulations to me too - I'm number 100! That's almost as good as a Silver Jubilee or something, right?
To the Hostess with the Mostest! You have elevated that little top far beyond what it ever dreamed of! How cool is this outfit. I like you in close fitting outfits (like this) and slim profile booties (like these so interesting ones!!!!) I also like the combo of the chunk on your wrists and the delicate necklace. Because you are such a petite flower, of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for hosting us all. I'm sorry I'm always so late to the party, but my restaurant keeps me busy all weekend. Hope you don't mind, and that you have a fabulous week!
i love the shoes and the cute button detail on your top if fab!
