For the Birds!



Hello and welcome,
thanks for stopping by my blog!

I love a good print, especially a figural or whimsical one,
and have a number of pieces of clothing featuring them
Are you a fan of prints, or are solids more your style?
I love both!
This week I thought I would feature
 two very different skirts shopped from my closet with figural prints,
both of birds

My first outfit features a vintage 1970's sky blue wrap skirt
with a fun, hand made block border print in white
 It looks like a stylized water foul of some sort, maybe in the swan family? 
 A very comical looking bird, for sure!
Wearing this one of a kind skirt with a top I found in a similar shade of blue
under a white denim jean jacket
I also wore this versatile denim jacket a few weeks ago on the blog,
over a dress, in a post about stripes  
 



Fanciful birds!


Carrying my circular natural wicker sea shell decorated bag 


Just a few simple accessories with this outfit 
A silver tone multi band cuff bracelet 
and hand made sterling silver bird earrings to follow the theme!
I chose a shell print scarf in blue tones for my hair 



Tan retro look wedge sandals from Crown Vintage to finish the look
These are super comfortable, and have a very 1970's vibe



Another bird print skirt from my closet that I haven't worn for a while
This one is a large repeating print of a pair of blue birds on a peach background 
This outfit took some time to come together
In the past I have worn it with white, as the colors in the skirt are difficult to match
Today, I styled it with a light blue and white striped top and a light blue wash denim blazer
The colors seem to blend pretty well 




Silver tone jewelry with a hammered collar necklace,
flower shaped stud earrings and the same multi band bracelet 
as my first outfit


Carrying a neutral light tan half circle bag, 


and wearing light tan braided strap block heel sandals to finish the look




I love to watch the shore bird's antics!
This photo was from earlier this year, and fits in so well with the bird theme of this post
These lovely Tundra Swans have flown back to their northern homes for the summer months
but will return to populate our shores come fall



Hope everyone has a good week!

Oh that reminds me of a swan skirt I once owned and sold on. I regret that a lot! I love bird prits on clothing! Very pretty!

I LOVE zoological prints so these bird prints make me very happy. The "swan" print is unique and fun. The second outfit may have taken a bit of effort to put together, but the print mix is perfect so it was definitely worth the time!

I love your print mixing in the second outfit. The light blues in both are a perfect match! Your bird prints are beautiful!

I love these whimsical bird prints! The first skirt is a gorgeous retro 70s find. Expert print mixing on the second outfit. Have a lovely weekend.

I do not have a lot of bird prints in my wardrobe but I wish I did - you are rocking these! I really can't pick a favourite, you accessorised both so perfectly, I like the white and blue colours in the first outfit, and how wonderfully the denim jacket works with the skirt in the second outfit :) Beautiful as always!
