I am totally ready for spring (aren't we all?!) So today, since I was stuck inside with a sick Peanut (an ear infection - poor kid!) I decided to just go for it! After I got dressed, I totally felt like I was channeling a bit of fifties style with my cardi, capris and ballet flats.
Whenever I dress in all classic pieces, I always try to wear them in a way that is fun and fresh so that I don't look dated.
Cardi - Target w/hand embroidery, Tank - Banana Republic,
Jeans (rolled up) GAP, Shoes - B. Makowski
For this look, I made sure to wear bright colored flats, and I embroidered a cheeky little Vegas gal on my sweater -what shakes up a classic piece more than that? ;)
How do you like to mix up your classic pieces?
Cute embroidery...really neat idea:)
ReplyDeleteSorry your little one isnt feeling well:(
oh WOW, Kelly!!! How I wish I could embroider! Love how you did your Vegas gal and bright flats to shake up your classic pieces.
ReplyDeleteAlso, amazing job on the blouse in prev. post!

You do have that 50s vibe and I love it. The stiching is so fun. Sorry about the ear infection those are not fun.
ReplyDeleteI like to add totally trendy shoes under classic pieces to make them current.
