Close enough

15/30 Banana Republic shirt; Thrifted skirt and belt; Payless wedges.

I came up with this outfit after seeing this lovely pin a while back. Close enough, yes? Still haven't heard of/got an account with pinterest? Let me know and I'll send you an invite!

Anyway, I probably should have ironed this skirt. I probably should have also gotten dressed earlier than 5 pm too...and maybe eaten something other than ice cream for lunch. I can still use summer vacation as an excuse though, right? It's almost a surprise I get dressed at all, although showering, getting dressed, and then blogging about it is a nice break from foreign currency translations.

  1. love this outfit! i think you did a great job of interpreting. 

    also, ice cream is a legit anytime food. having a good source of dairy any time of the day is great (or so that's what I keep telling myself to justify having ice cream cake for breakfast...)

  4. Ice cream is the best lunch ever :)  It's taken me till after lunchtime to get dressed the past couple of days - but it does feel good to do it - especially when you put on such a cute stripey shirt and skirt!

  5. This is lovely! Great colors together.

    And you mean ice cream isn't an acceptable lunch time meal? This is news to me :)

  6. Ironing is over-rated as is eating anything OTHER than ice cream.

  13. So cute! I'm absolutely in love with that shirt. I like that it's got the block of blue at the top before the stripes set in.

  16. Ah! Foreign currency transactions. Actually not as bad as leases which you tweeted about earlier. You definitely deserve the ice cream for lunch. Your skirt is super cute. Those Payless wedges are perfect with it.

  22. Ahh yes, I'm Pinterest obsessed as well. And I've also been known to eat ice cream for lunch a time or two :) I love your take on the look--it's a fun, summery, colorful version! The lime and navy look great together!

  24. I love this outfit! There's something about breton stripes and flowy summer skirts that always works!

  25. I don't know what else to say besides that I really, really, REALLY like this outfit. The colors, the stripes, the skirt length--love it. I also wanted to throw out there that dressing at 5, eating ice cream for lunch, and blaming it on summer is totally chill.

  26. Hello,

     I just stumbled across your blog. I am also a student. LOVE finding other student fashion bloggers ... it's so reassuring to know I'm not the only one procrastinating.

  27. Love this outfit! Also love the inspiration from pinterest, I've been looking at that photo for weeks now trying to re-create it :)

    PS. Ironing is over rated - It's summer time, last thing you want to do is turn on the hot iron in the morning. That's my two cents haha!

  29. I had strawberry shortcake for lunch the other day.  AND dinner.  But yeah.  It's summer, is it not?  Then it's totally justified.

    Lovely outfit.  It's so classy!  I would really like to own that top.  So versatile!
