I think this one is pretty straight forward.
Mom hates this outfit.
1. I'm wearing a concert t-shirt with a pretty silk skirt and heels.
That is kind of it, actually.
So I had a garden party to attend.
I chose to go garden on the bottom and party on top.
When my dear friend saw this outfit for the first time she exclaimed:
"Sass-ily mis-matched."
I would disagree. I prefer to think of it as sass-ily matched.
Well, at least it was on purpose.
OUTFIT CHALLENGE!
Mis-Matching!
Upon entering this lovely garden party, I noticed that most of the ladies adhered to the theme. A little bit Madmen and very much "lady in the garden". I was surrounded by beautiful, flower and print dresses.
I am wearing my Reverend Horton Heat concert shirt.
Coupled with a silk skirt from Francesca's closet.
T-SHIRT: $20.00
SKIRT: $10.00
If you stick with colors that make sense together, in this case all cool feeling tones, its a good place to start. I think of this skirt as a neutral or a solid.
You also just have to go with your gut and put on your confidence panties.
I immediately thought this was the right way to go, no question.
I try not to second guess that voice.
Besides, someone is always going to hate your outfit. So why not wear what you want?
A sassy, inquisitive gentleman asked me if I actually attended a Reverend Horton Heat concert; smirking to his friend standing alongside.
Why yes, kind gentle.....hmmm...acquaintance, I did acquire this lovely t-shirt at the Rev's concert and you can kindly stare at the back of this shirt for the rest of the garden evening.
Can I get a witness?
People, you do not have to attend a concert to sport the t-shirt, but it sure is a fun way to purchase one!
Shoes are mid heel, black, feminine with leather bows. They are Liz Claiborne; thrifted.
That's ladylike, right?
SHOES: $4.00
I'm pretty sure my beautiful mother wouldn't wear this to a garden party. Ha!
