The reason my gold wedges were wet, is because last night, at about 9pm, I suddenly decided that needed to wash my silk shirt I wore over the weekend. It says dry clean only on the tag, but here's the thing - I've never dry cleaned anything. Ever.
So I washed in in the sink with some woolite and hung it up; stupidly over my gold wedges, and all night long water dripped on to them.
I won the Lion Belt on ebay, and I like him a lot!
The wedges aren't leather and are perfectly fine now that they've dried, so I put them on for a photo just to show how I wanted the outfit to look:
Last week Shelly Ann at Painting the Memories passed along a question tag to me, so here are my responses:
1. What is your all time favorite tv show?
How can I choose just one? Can I have one for each genre? Seinfeld always, always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I've seen it. Buffy was my life in high school, Now I love Doctor Who, Burn Notice, and True Blood...
2. What show reminds you of your childhood?
David the Gnome was my favorite childhood show.
3. If you could be on a show, which one would it be?
White Collar, with a make-out scene with Matt Bomer!
4. Which character from any show would you choose to be your best friend?
Fiona from Burn Notice. We could share shoes.
5. Which character from any show would you choose to be your significant other?
Joe Dubios from Medium, because he's the best husband ever.
6. Which tv character do you feel like you relate to and why?
Occasionally Monk, I can be a bit OCD and persnickety at times.
7. If you could pick one show to make a movie, which one would you choose?
Gilmore Girls, just because they left me high and dry with Luke and Lorelai never getting together.
8. What, in your opinion, is the worst tv show ever made?
Any reality show is a complete waste of time. I kept hoping people would get bored of them and they would go away...
I also want to thank Melissa at Oh My Darling for sending me the cute bird pocket mirror; did I mention I loved birds, and your paislely card goes perfectly on my dresser!

ReplyDeleteGirl, you need and etsy store. Lots of people would buy clothes you make (I've tried to steal that kimono from Cher anytime I can).
I also love the necklace, belt and gold sandals with the outfit. It's so chic and looks totally effortless.

PS- I don't know what possessed me to say "Girl, you need..." but I did, and it made me laugh, so I left it in! :)

ReplyDeletexox cathy.
Love the lion belt, what a great eBay find! And the necklace is gorgeous.

ShopTOLive.ca
That is a stunning skirt! May I ask if you used a pattern and if so, which one?
ReplyDeletei'm in love with your belt!

ReplyDeleteThis is all just lovely!
Do you ever NOT look chic and fabulous? I'll answer that. NO! As in you ALWAYS look so chic and fabulous! And holllaaaa for your homemade skirt!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree about the reality tv thaaang. DOWN WITH THE REALITY TV. DOWN WITH JERSEY SHORE. (I think it really epitimizes everything obnoxious about today's generation.)
Thanks so much for all your comments! I really appreciated your last thorough comment -- I agree. There's definitely this discreptency between blogging and the fashion industry... I mean, how much of blogging/personal style is REALLY dictated by the industry? Hmm good points..

Oh Lyddie this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt rocks and the belt was the best pick ever.
I have been thinking about getting a pattern and sewing something for myself but I am totally clueless where to begin ... would you give some tips ?
Like what garment I should begin with ?
BTW I actually like the yellow flats more !
The gold lion belt is fantastic! And I really love your necklace - it works perfectly with the print skirt. Perfect for a casual stroll on the weekend to flea markets. =)
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern, very Grecian indeed. Your gold jewelry and lion belt are to die for!!!
ReplyDeleteLovelovelove the belt! I never dry clean anything either--I'm sure it'll come back to haunt me soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite outfit posts!:D
ReplyDeleteI want a Gilmore Girls movie too!

Oh, but we both totally know that Luke and Lorelai got together and lived happily ever after. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThat belt is ah-maz-ing.

Love the Greek key with the gold lion, so classy! Very glamorous, yet summery! I am persnickety too, no worries! XO!
ReplyDeleteWowie-you made that skirt? Nice work. It looks store-bought
ReplyDeleteHehehe, yesss. xD I have always thought evil = sexy. For the most part. AS LONG AS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON IS PLAYING THE EVIL PERSON. And Alexander Skaarsgard is no exception <33
ReplyDelete&& I'm applying to a few of the in-state schools, plus Vanderbilt, Montana State (where we may move.. one day!), and yeah I think that's it. xD
Wowowowow! I love that skirt! I'm just teaching myself to sew and I love seeing other people's creations. What pattern did you use?
ReplyDeleteAlso, that lion belt is just genius.
This outfit is soooooo beautiful! It's perfect. I adore it.
