These two pieces have been closet buddies for going on a week now. I'm in the habit lately of hanging potential outfits on the lone hook in my closet, but I think these two grew tired of playing nice. While the prints are completely different, I kinda really liked them...for about 5 minutes. The day {and subsequently the outfit} took a turn for the worse when someone approached me in the park to ask if I was a bird watcher! What about a girl in heels {in a park no less} gives someone the bird watcher vibe? Did my tripod and camera play a cruel joke on me and whisper in your ear that I am a feathery aficionado? Yeah, yeah that would be silly. But I was seriously perturbed. The day just took a downward spiral from there. What started as a bad mood, quickly turned into assuming any casual glance towards me was a stink eye towards the outfit.

I can't be sure if people were judging my loud, colorful outfit but I'm pretty sure they were. I mean if 1 guy thought I was a bird watcher, everyone in corporate Ohio must think I am a lunatic too, right? Okay I am exaggerating, but after the day I had I am allowed to vent. Yes that was me giving myself permission to complain. Phew, I feel better already.

Pin It!

  3. Oh sad, because I think it's adorable!  But sometimes I feel that way in brights - by the middle of the day, I'm convinced that everyone is staring at me.  But from the pics alone, you just look cute!

  4. I sometimes feel like that with a few of outfits... some-days I'm just not as prepared to answer silly questions about my clothes. 

    I love the skirt! It's like an updated muumuu print. (Believe me, I'm all about the muumuu's. I had a huge collection as a child.)

  5. I love this outfit! The colors on the top are subtle enough that they work well to compliment the bright colors in the skirt.

  8. You look marvelous in this outfit! The guy was more likely trying to think of a good way to start a conversation with the pretty girl in the park. Granted, his approach was not the best, but maybe that was all he could come up with on the spur of the moment. Pretty Girl + Tripod + Song Birds in the trees = Birdwatcher!  Okay, it's a stretch, but it could happen! :)
    Cheers!

  9. Well you certainly are a very fashionable bird watcher and should be commended for not flipping said commentator the bird for his irrational commentary.  Love these two together!

  17. Ha, we all have those days, feel free to complain away!  For what it's worth, I love this outfit.  I'm not sure exactly what a birdwatcher looks like, but this would definitely not be my first guess!

  22. Wow that guy much be crazy! I'm a new follower, and this lovely skirt just popped out to me first. When I looked at it closer, I saw that you were mixing patterns which made me love the outfit even more. Don't worry, you are allowed to vent every now and then.
