Hello and welcome-
thanks for stopping by my blog!
This week I am sharing two outfits
with a cropped, short sleeve white denim jacket
This jacket is made of a very lightweight denim
and has been so versatile during the summer months
Do you have any denim favorites for summer?
For my first outfit, I am layering the jacket over a sky blue tee
and wearing it with a peach and blue
bird print linen flared skirt
Wearing my little white leather pouch cross body bag
It is true vintage from the 1960s
I have so much fun styling it
during the spring and summer months
It is very tiny and only holds the bare essentials, though
Every time I pick it out, I think about it's long life
I wonder what the person was like who wore it first,
what the occasion was and how it was styled
It is in such good condition that I imagine
it may have sat in someone's closet
for a lot of years, until I came along to rescue it
I have had it for years myself, and purchased it from a little collectibles shop in Pennsylvania
I dressed this outfit up with some summer-y accessories
A chambray blue headband in my hair, and minimal jewelry
A silver tone double dolphin hinged bracelet,
and a pair of 3-D blue flower stud earrings
Shiny white patent kitten heel T-straps to finish the look
I purchased these online early this spring,
with two other pairs of summer shoes
I did not have a clear vision of what I would wear these with,
I just felt the need to fill a hole
in my summer shoe wardrobe with white shoes!
These fit my vague bills and they are
not too dressy and not too casual,
but in-between
Of the group of three pairs I ordered,
these were not my immediate favorites,
but after trying them on with several outfits
they have really worked out well,
and have been a great way to modernize
a number of outfits already in my closet
If you visited my blog last summer,
this skirt may look familiar
Here is an outfit from this time last year
with this charming blue bird print skirt
Another outfit with this versatile short sleeve denim jacket,
is in one of my favorite summer
color combinations, red white and blue!
For this wear, I layered the jacket over a navy and white polkadot fit and flare midi sundress
Heart motifs are not just for Valentine's Day-
I wear them all year round
Carrying my red heart shaped quilted shoulder bag
For jewelry, I chose two silver tone pieces,
A hammered collar necklace and multi-band open cuff bracelet Had to get something vintage in the outfit, so I chose my kidney shaped vintage red enamel earrings
Here's hoping everyone has a great week!

I love a good navy, red, and white outfit but the BIRD SKIRT, be still my heart! That is just the cutest thing.
That short sleeve denim jacket is a great layering piece for summer! Just enough coverage for chilly AC and it looks so good with everything. Your skirt is beautiful. I love the pretty print!
Hi Di! You always hit it out of the park with your acessories. I love the white heels. The bird skirt is darling! Is it linen? I love how you styled the jacket.
Have a great weekend!
