Edited to add: The fabulous Sally from Already Pretty listed my post about gray/graying hair on her Lovely Links today! Thanks so much Sal. Please go have a look at all the Lovely Links when you can.
I just picked up this little black knit top at a local charity thrift and I think I like it. It’s more girly than my usual look, with the peek-a-boo keyhole neckline and flutter hem. But I like the smooth silk knit (August Silk brand) and the fit – it’s actually a Large, but I enjoy the roominess! Nobody likes tugging at their sleeves and hems all day, right?
The Grace Elements skirt is an old favorite, frequently worn in the cooler months with tights and boots. It has a wonderful swing to it, and a nice fat paisley right in front. I went light on accessories today; it’s still in the low 90’s outside and I didn’t feel like adding much. Come on, coolness, do your thing!

The camera issues of yesterday were solved with a switch to “Smart Portrait” mode from “Party/Indoor”(?) mode. I am not making that up. Perhaps it’s the camera setting used in Animal House??
Visible Monday Reminder: Monday September 5th is Visible Monday, a group posting for anyone who’d like to participate. The simple guidelines are here. Basically, just post something that makes you feel wonderful/visible, and link to it via my Monday post. Easy and fun.
But party mode sounds like such fun!
The detail on that top is so lovely!
Ps. You are an inspiration plus you are fabulous.
I really like your blog. I found it via Tammy at SilverStyle. I plan on linking up to visible Monday now that I know about it. I hope you will check out my blog at http://www.danielleceleste.me. I am following your blog. If you like mine please follow me.
Wow, cool! Thanks Tammy!
Patti, did you noticed we were mentioned at http://style.lifegoesstrong.com/what-are-you-wearing
I am trying to figure this out! I know Blogger itself has a problem with "Followers" and they say they are working on it. Please hang with me, Ms. P. : >
Goodwill, girlfriend! I tossed them in my basket without even *looking* at the size! : >
The cut out detail on that top is so pretty!

Well aren´t you looking fabulous Patti ?
The paisley print and the shoes make a beautiful contrast.
Have a wonderful weekend !
Love, love your skirt.
I click on followers nothing happens.

Wow. I love those shoes. Very nice outfit, overall, with the curves of the paisley print, oval belt buckle and key hole nicely complimenting each other.
I like that blouse, too; and I love the skirt!
Ah, camera settings. In my one self-timed experiment to date, I switched back and forth between the indoor/low light/no flash setting and the "automatic," smart setting (camera switches automatically to the setting it wants). I have NO idea what actual setting created the ONE non blurry photo.
That black and inky blue work together so well!

Okay, you look GREAT! But seriously, where did you get those shoes?!?!?! They are FABULOUS!!!!
Oh your skirt is great! I really like it – paisley in a much more modern way
You look lovely. The detail on the sweater is cute. But those shoes are too cool. I love black and white shoes. Even saddle shoes.
Those shoes are just great with the skirt. You're doing far better than I with the timed camera settings. Still can't get mine to chew gum and walk at the same time, or rather delay AND focus.
Your stunning shoes pull it all together. I love the details of the black knit top.
I LOVE fat paisleys and the goofy grin looks like the one I wear when I'm sipping a glass of chardonnay after a day of hauling wheelchairs around in the heat. I think the top is perfect with the skirt. Too cute!
Really cute top–its cool the way it has a cut out and the little swirly thing on the side. and love the shoes!
