Ivory Pleated Midi for April

Hello, welcome, and thanks so much for stopping by!

Today, I am riffing on a post I did two weeks ago,

(Black and White with a Splash of Red), for styling inspiration

Like the previous post, today's post features a tunic

  I don't wear tunics very often,

 and am debating consigning this one

There's nothing wrong with it,

 except it is an awkward length for me,

 and a lot of fabric if I wanted to tuck it in

Are you a tunic loving girl?

 They look great on some body types,

 especially with slim pants

Anyway, here's my try at resuscitation

My previous tunic try was over a short skirt

This week, I am trying a soft blue and white,

semi-sheer, geometric print top,

with a longer midi skirt in ivory

 It is a fun skirt, with a pleated net overskirt- 

a long over long outfit

I have noticed that all shades of blue

 are trending this spring,

from the more typical soft pastels of the season,

to the super bright and bold cobalt-

I love the blues 💙🩵, and wear them all!

How about you, do you wear blue,

or have a favorite shades of this popular color? 

Carrying one of my favorite small bags,

 This one is two-toned, in a muted peach and blush combination

 There are loops on the sides to attach a longer strap,

that came with it,

so it can also be worn crossbody

I chose delicate silver toned jewelry

 to go with the light and airy style of this outfit

 A chain link bracelet with a rhinestone heart shaped charm,

 a hammered collar necklace,

 and vintage 1950s clip on earrings

I purchased this pair of ivory mesh sling backs

 at the end of the season last summer,

so I didn't have much opportunity to wear them  

I did not pack them up as I normally would,

 because I wanted to have them ready early this spring

 to experiment with styling them 

Honestly, I have found that I am

not too fond of this mesh shoe trend,

 as it seems to lose it's shape easily

These are cute and comfortable,

but I don't know how they will hold up

We will see-live and learn!

  

Some delicate spring color

This tree is in a neighbor's garden-

the giant magnolia blossoms are so gorgeous and fragrant!

Hope you have a lovely week!
