These were taken on the day I finally ventured into downtown Guadalajara... three months after moving here. In fact, I had come once before, but in hot-as-hades May, and I didn't manage to do anything on that occasion except wilt on a bench and feel sorry for myself. This time was thankfully much cooler.
I hummed and hawed over this skirt for ages, for the simple reason that it seemed pretty "'70s Mom." I decided it could be worn in a modern way, matched with the appopriate items--and promptly paired it with a blouse and bag both stolen from my mom, and both probably dating back to the '70s. So '70s mom it was, and I found a nice vintage-hued stone wall to complete the image!
Outfit:
skirt: Oysho
blouse and bag: stolen from my mother
sandals: Aldo
necklace: Accessorize (eons ago)
sunglasses (in last photo): Toronto Airport eons ago, I think.
Oooh I like that skirt! And your sandals! :D

Very '70s, I agree, but '70s mom? Hardly! The detailing on the blouse is very pretty. I would have swiped it, too ;)
ReplyDeleteEmily of New Moon. Oh, yes. I actually reread the Emily series a few months back. If you poke through the archives of my blog, specifically under the L.M. Montgomery label, you'll find a handful of posts featuring my love for all things Emily Starr (and Anne Shirley, of course). Every now and again, I find that Montgomery's stories are the best things to lift my spirits whenever I'm feeling down or blue. They're just, to say it simply, perfect.
You are such a beauty. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit, love the stone wall, love everything!
