Outfit: Vintage Collared Sweater


I never thought that baby blue and hunter green would be a good color combination. Oftentimes I choose one item that I think I want to wear (this skirt) and walk in front of my closet holding it up to everything until I find something I like. Anyone else do this? I used to plan my outfits at night, but I'd wake up the next morning and not be in the same mood so I would have to change my idea anyway.
This silk skirt and sweater are two of my favorite pieces, I just have never paired them together before! I got the skirt at a rummage sale along with it's matching blouse. The sweater is from JC Penny's sometime in the 1950's :)













I am headed to my school tomorrow to prep everything for students coming on Monday. I hope some of my organizational skills were honed last year and that I can be better at my job this year :/ but we will just have to wait and see.

God Bless,
KJA

  1. I find outfits that way too sometimes! This is such an unexpected but lovely and- lush- color combo.

    Also, random, but can I tell you again how much I like your shorter hair :)

  2. I do the same sort of thing! I pick out one item I want to wear (sometimes it's even a bracelet or something) and then stand there for awhile pairing things together with it. Eventually, the outfit forms together! I do like the light blue and the hunter green together- it's not a combo you'd think of too often, but it definitely works!

  3. What great basic pieces! It's amazing how all these simple basics put together look fabulously classy. Good choice!

  4. Haha, I change my mind about outfits all the time, too. Seriously, I can't plan ahead unless I know I HAVE to wear a certain garment! But I need to get better about that...
    You look so pretty here! It's weird to see you with shorter hair, but it looks SO nice. I think it's really flattering and it makes you look... lighter? I don't know. I love it! And your earrings! Love!
