LHR: Flouncy Skirt Friday

It wasn't my last day of classes, but we did have an exciting day as it finally felt like the first day of summer. Yay!

Here's the back story of my cute flouncy skirt day.

Last night I started to unpack my summer clothes and what did I find but a skirt with green polka-dots that would PERFECTLY match the green shoes. I had forgotten about this skirt because it has been tucked away all winter. Now I had a perfect match. Oh dear, what to wear up top.

This morning's play by play:

1. White shirt. Pulls on white shirt and realizes the skirt is oh-so-off white. Definitely can not get away with it.
   
2. Looks for navy stretchy tee. Remembers she threw it out last season due to over-wearing
3. Starts to panic. Decides to iron skirt and contemplate about what to do about the lack of top
   
4. Ironing takes an aweful long time as she realizes beaded bits are a bitch to iron
   
5. Tries to iron from the inside. Nothing works -- should have steamed skirt.
6. Time running out.
7. Hmmm. shirt? Finds another blue shirt. [commentator: Is this colour called Cerulean or teal or what?] She decides to go with it. It isn't exactly the same blue as in the skirt, but feels it works.
8. Finds a big bobble green necklace (thinks she nabbed it from her Mother's jewellery box years ago) and throws it on.
9. The outfit seems to work but she remembers that in typical LHR style she has yet to alter the skirt. Used a safety pin instead.
10. She runs out the door without a coat and realizes that when the sun goes down she'll regret it. So she grabs a wool (yes wool) kelly green cardigan from the 50s. Similar to the skirt the cardigan had lots of embellishments - beads, sequins and pearls. Talk about matchy, but figures it'll work for warmth.
11. Ta-Dah!
    

Back to the first person... Later that day, when it was getting cool on the terrace at work, I threw on the crazily vintage cardie. The reaction (at least by one) was -- "oh i like the outfit so much better with the cardigan." Hmmm.

Anyway, I think the skirt is a perfect match for the shoes and the bounciness of the skirt makes me feel rather cute. Take a look for yourself.

Artie shot where all the imperfections disappear.

This was the outfit I wore all day. Realizing I need to do some crunches immediately.

With cardigan
