Stripes and polka dots outfit

Happy Friday!

I just have a little outfit post for today. This was actually an outfit I wore a few weeks ago when it was ungodly hot out. I tried to be as cool and comfortable as possible, while wearing a new pair of shorts I bought.


Outfit details: sailor top from Bombshell Shocked, high-waisted shorts made by Sunny Threads via eBay, espadrilles from Mod Cloth, purse made by Milloo on Etsy.

My hair was being uncooperative in all the humidity, so I tried to get a little finger wave in my bangs since it was so flat. While it looked okay from the front...


...I laughed when I saw this next photo. Um, not exactly neat and tidy. Oh well, sometimes things don't work out as well as you planned! I'll just keep blaming the humidity.


While I tend to prefer smaller vintage purses, sometimes you just need a big ol' bag to tote everything around in. I love my red canvas Milloo bag, all the way from Greece! I ordered it over a year ago and it still looks great. And of course it goes without saying (though I'm saying it anyway): I love supporting small DIY businesses.


Accessories details: bamboo bangles and heart necklace were gifts, and the amazing 'Fakelite' ring, scarf and earrings were all from Etsy.


Anyway, it was a fun outfit to put together. I liked all the red accents, especially with the polka dots and striped trim on the blouse.

Have a great weekend!

  7. Love it!!! :) I had to giggle at your comment about neat and tidy hair: during the summer mine never stays put! I just say I'm being authentic, since I dare say most ladies back in the day looked a bit messy from time to time too. ;) lol. Love your Fakelite! I've been collecting up a couple pieces lately--having suddenly fallen in love with chunky, plastic jewelry! :)

  10. Love this outfit, I especially like your blouse, that's given me a sewing idea if I ever get back to sewing!

    As for neat & tidy hair, mine never does neat & tidy, it just doesn't play that way, it's course, wayward, does what it want but holds a curl well, so I just go with the flow, it's the best way ;o)
