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 also tried out that color with a sale tee, but it's nauseous on my skin. I like what you put together.
