Welcome to Visible Monday #59! If you want to participate, it’s so
easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the simple how-to.
You know I like easy dressing. The Florida climate and my casual workplace encourage it too. So today I chose two easy pieces and a couple of basic accessories, for a simple yet Visible result.
The blouse is by GAP, and has a feminine ruffle at the neckline – hard to see in these pictures. The Old Navy skirt is several years old, thrifted and well-loved. The overlay of netting and sequins is dressier and swishier than my denim pencil skirt.
A couple of bangles, a blue suede belt, and drop earrings finish the look. Comfortable-but-not-dull sandals from White Mountain are perfect for all-day wear.

| Cost-per-wear for this skirt has to be about fifty cents. |

The detailing around the hemline with the pretty top and stencilling in the sandals are so wonderful together. Plus, your pops of blue in the bangle and belt are perfect accents. Breezy and cool as usual!
You look just awesome, Patti – I love those shoes.
Thanks so much for doing Visible Mondays – I love seeing all these amazing participants.
Feminine and flirty! And I like all the different shades of blue – so fresh and lovely.
I like your cool easy style Patti. You always look gorgeous.
This is why a well edited closet works! These pieces look great together, still very you, but could mix and match well with many other things you own. Your hair looks amazing today btw.
It's very colourful this week! Everyone looks wonderful. Love your skirt Patti!
I'm all monochrome today, too! And also with the easy pieces. You look gorgeous, and thanks for hosting, as always!
Lovely jewellery! 🙂 x

The people that you work with must love it when you walk in the office with your ensembles. The 'easy pieces' with the gorgeous blue nails are perfect summer attire.
I am all about easy dressing these days too! It is really HOT in Southern California and I just don't want to wear anything complicated.
You look fabulous!

Isn't it crazy how low the cost per wear on our most loved items is?
You look feminine and able to beat the heat at the same time – very difficult to manage and be age appropriate! Nicely done.
Lovely outfit for a hot day! Cute skirt and that cost per wear makes it even better!
Thanks for hosting the link-up!
