Sassy Tropical Florals

Never fear, I changed my shoes ( eventually!). This is what I wore schlepping around. I have easily had these Eastland hiker's since the late 80's. I've put them in a give-a-way pile so many times only to drag em back out. They are so soft and have hiked many trails w/o blisters. I am wearing 2 skirts I shortened. I am really into the tropical prints and cut the bottom floral a bit longer to show the girlie flowers underneath.I really like this skirt and hope I did the right thing by cutting it! I have alteration phobia!

The ground is still wet and muddy and these boots did just fine!

Plus, who can resist a nutty cat lady with a straw purse!

I'm still practicing with my camera and trying to get better shots. Auto mode seems to make the clothes look washed out, and the self adjusted settings seem to make me look jaundiced, but the clothes are truer.

As most of you know, I want to be a photographer when I grow up!

I changed into peep-toe wedges, but not too high. My back thanked me for it!

Over-the-knee socks and a black vest rounded me out. I am also wearing a T-shirt waist band. Does anyone remember them from the late 80's? It was during the knotted side T days. I have one in black and gold.

I  swear, I never throw stuff out anymore. It ALWAYS comes back around, or can be used differently.

However, My closets are bulging with this stuff. There are some things I will keep always, like a great bohemian garment, "classic" pieces like pumps and pearls and accessories from India. Always!

( And Vintage! )

Sassy !

Nightie Top and Tropical Florals / Spring Fling !

Cincinnati Fashion Week started off with a bang ! This is what I wore to the Spring Fling in Western Hills. I was worried about whether it was casual or dressy, so I decided that I'd check out some of the people going into the affair, first. I blended. It was casual. I was greeted at the door with champagne and some of the neatest crafters, designers and vendors. I met so many nice people, and I met Megan of FENNOfashion. Her vintage inspired jewelry was to die for ! She recycles vintage pieces and makes them timeless, plus her use of crystals blew me away! Her vision and talent was unsurpassed !  As well as her sparkling personality ! Can't wait to show off my goodies. There were so many great ideas I tucked away and also scored a fantastic geode piece! I am really proud of the talent that resides in my home-town! After all, one of the top schools for Creative and Performing Arts is right down town ! I hope to go to another event this coming week!

I wore a tropical floral cropped silk pant (thrifted), a turquoise fitted tank under a sheer nightie. Yep, a nightie! I added a sheer cropped cardi and scarf for layers and my Candie's mules. I love florals and have always been drawn to the tropical prints, without the obvious Hula theme. I really like the resort wear looks for this summer. A lot of tropical florals !

I strapped this recently thrifted small Aigner summer bag across my shoulders. It's small , but big enough for the essentials without lugging a heavy purse. It blended as well. Shannon, of Dirty Hair Halo has been sporting this type of bag lately and I so ripped this trend off !

I actually washed my hair and styled it, or you might have seen a funky hat as well!

What do you think? Would you wear sleep-wear out in public ???
