Welcome to Visible Monday #116! If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Please be kind and leave a link to Not Dead Yet Style in your post.
I took this picture before we left for NYC, as you can probably tell! We were still having temps in the upper 80’s, so no scarf, gloves or boots are needed. ☺
This lace top by Democracy is one of my favorite pieces. It’s feminine without being too fluffy, and looks great over a dressy skirt, or with cropped jeans. The shoes are by Colour of Cocktail, and the green bangle was thrifted in NYC last year.
It’s good to be home, and the cats were beyond happy to see us (“feed me!”).

Welcome home, Patti! I bet that furry tummy got a lot of tickling! (I'm referring to the cat, not your delicious husband…)
You look as elegant and chic as ever in that great combination of lace and denim, and the fabulous flats. Gorgeous! xxx
Happy Visible Monday, Patti! A lovely lace top!
Love the lace top! And I think the best way to wear lace is with denim!

So glad your're home and looking like a million bucks today! So cute. Every element a winner, and so flattering on your petite-ness! Still warm there? Our cats have been extra cuddly with the cooling temperatures here!
Thanks again for hostessing, and I'm so glad to come out and play!
Hello again! I love that drapey lace top so much. Cream is such a good colour on you!
Hello kitty tummy!! As always I love your lace tops. Hope your trip was amazing, but I bet it's good to be home!
The cat is adorb! Love your ensemble paired with the shoes! Thanks for the linky!
Well darned… my comments is gone. Again…:
I said that lace is always a nice contrast with jeans. Your top looks very feminine.
And I cheer for the best buy ever: those sandals.

I like the lace top too. Always nice to wear something soft and feminine with jeans.
And your ever-so-good-buy sandals.

that top is so pretty on you, and i love it with that fab nracelet and shoes!
Hi Patti! Thank you so much for hosting Visible Monday. I thought I'd show the crew a style direction I'm not taking today. Great lace top – they are so versatile.

Happy Visible Monday!! Love the lace top!!!! Your kitty cat is adorable, too. Welcome home.
Welcome home, Patti…I loved seeing the pictures of you and your handsome husband in New York…so nice to see "happy-to-see-you" kitties!
Kitteh porn! Lovely boy. You look gorgeous in lace, Patti! Thank you as always for hosting such an amazing gathering of visible women!
Patti, I've so missed being part of Monday's Party, and I've greatly missed seeing your always radiant smile. I know you mentioned your great sweater and fabulous shoes but those cropped jeans are the best I've seen. What brand are they?
Very nice combo Patti. So very chic and summery. All that's missing is a little cat hair, but I'm sure your feline friends will get right on that for you. Thanks as always for hosting such a wonderful gathering.
Ain't nothin' wrong with lace and denim. Looking casually chic!
I'm loving Democracy clothing right now, and your lace top is no exception! Looks great with the navy, but the sandals are what totally rock the outfit! Great look!
Welcome back! It's always lovely to be back after traveling, and to integrate your new treasures into your home and wardrobe. π I really enjoyed your blog posts about New York, thank you for sharing them with us.
What a pretty lace top Patti….it's nice to see you back in the grind!

Wow, what a great looking outfit! Love those pants and the shoes look so cute with them. I can see why you like this top. It could work so many ways. Thanks for hosting Visible Monday, Patti…and have a great week. π
Your cat is doing the "I want loving" roll! The gray and white is so pretty. This top is light and breezy plus it looks good with your cool shoes.

Can't get enough of those cute sandals! The proportions of these cropped jeans are just right for you! I love this kind of look…a little bit Audrey.

couldn't agree more, lace and denim equals winning combo patti! really pretty! and your cat looks so funny! and the caption..yup that could be my cat too.. oh to be a cat lol xx
You're right – denim and lace look great together! I have a top in a similar lace, but different style top. I never thought about putting it with jeans before. Thanks for the inspiration!
Your top and shoes are absolutelly lovely Patti! Thank you for hosting π I love your Visible Mondays! XXX
The way you're wearing them, there's everything right with lace and denim. You look super chic as always. I was happy to get home to my own gray kitteh tonight – even if it's just to clean for the carpet cleaners.
Classy combintion of white and jeans – you look lovely!

Isn't it fabulous that someone loves it when you get home – even if it's love of what you can do for them. Great outfit. Are you missing the big apple already? Thanks so much for hosting!!! Love Visible Monday.
Welcome home, Patti! This lace is gorgeous on you, and I like those hits of colour. Looking forward to hearing more of of your NYC adventures. Thanks for having us here for Visible Monday!
I LOVE your outfit Patti! It's such a chic proportion, lace is one of my favourite things and I think it's wonderful with your cropped jeans.
Love that top and agree it is femine in the best way! love the cat photo and yes they must have missed you!
I can see why this top is one of your favorites, Patti! This is such a feminine, sexy, stylish look! Great job!!
I'm completely smitten with that top! I have a sweater that has a similar shape but I love the airy feel of yours. I'm keeping my eyes open for this shape when I go thrifting π
