My daughter advised that I could be on an episode of What Not to Wear, which is amazing coming from a kid who piled on every item of clothing in her closet all at once yesterday.No doubt this outfit is "out there", but it's also cheeky and tongue-in-cheek and chic (ha), IMO.
The acid yellow T is new from Club Monaco. Let me guess; you're shocked.
Some things you should know:
- CM has a dubious new final sale on all discounted merchandise policy. I advised that this is never going to fly and the SA disclosed that certain managers seem willing to be flexible.
- The yellow T was $22.00 on the tag but $9.00 at the cash. And I got the cheetah version of my zebra (pony) skinny belt for freakin' $19.00!!! It was $59.00 originally. Not intending to return either of these, happily.
- The tights are courtesy of Yulanda, who included them for me in her order with We Love Colors.
- The belt is vintage and cost $16.00.
- The skirt does indeed have a housefly stenciled on it. Given my legendary hatred of all the bugs, everyone seems to think this is a) weird and b) hilarious.

ReplyDeleteI love it. The yellow is everywhere these days. Pantone's color of the year, right?
ReplyDeleteI also tried out that color with a sale tee, but it's nauseous on my skin. I like what you put together.
