I promise, I have moved from in front of the stove in the past few days. I have to admit-- I wasn't too jazzed about this outfit, and even considered not posting. But this blog is as much about my style failures as successes, so here you have it.
The list:
-purple tank, F21
-black cardigan, Spring + Mercer
-seersucker skirt, Grace Elements
-oxfords, CG
-green belt, H&M
-floral pendant necklace, DIY'd from vintage brooch
-sparkly scarf, gift from sis from Israel
Maybe with a beret? Or different shoes? I am not sure why this outfit seems off to me. There are elements I like-- the skirt hiked up by the wide belt and the blousiness of the tucked-in tank. Oh, and the fake glasses. Perhaps the later pictures just didn't reflect an awesome outfit? I guess we'll never know. Baudelaire would certainly have something to say about the proliferation of style blogs and the valuation of mimesis over beauty.

I love a good seersucker piece for summer. Your outfit is great -- love your sparkly scarf and how well-proportioned your outfit is (especially the tucked-in skirt and blouse together). :)
What is it with "off" outfits lately? I had one yesterday!
I think you're right that different shoes (ones with a lower vamp that don't seem so "heavy") would probably work, and a hat might balance out the flat shoes... I love the seersucker, though, and it's aces with the purple!
The top is such a lovely purple shade. I like the outfit! So don't let yourself be too hard on it.
I saw you in person that day and thought you looked terrific!
