Most days I like to dress in the “happy middle”: in some classic pieces that never go out of style, plus a kicky piece to express my personality. Like: always-chic dark jeans with a silky kimono top, or an A-line skirt with a colorful ruffled blouse.

Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now!

This terrific camel skirt is the perfect classic. It fits great, just covers my knees and has a cool self-belt with double-ring buckle. It’s a cotton blend, and it was thrifted in Toronto with my friend Suzanne. I think I paid about $10 Canadian for it. The print blouse is also thrifted, at a charity shop within biking distance of our Florida apartment. There was a similar top on the rack, in grays and blues, that I had to snap up too.

The skirt is by Frankie and Missy (out of business?), and the top is the Merona brand from Target. I couldn’t see until now that the cuff bracelet doesn’t match the blouse perfectly. Not-quite-matching is one of my favorite things.

 

The black sling-back shoes are by Gentle Souls, also thrifted, long ago. The gold-tone pendant is retail(!) from Nordstrom, and I love wearing it.

Do you enjoy adding a twist to your classic pieces?

  1. I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering issues with your blog. It seems like some of the written text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a problem with my web browser because I’ve had this happen before. Thank you|

  9. Love the outfit and that it’s made of thrifted pieces. I have been thrifting in so long — I miss it. Like you, I always like to add a bit of the unexpected to my outfits. In fact, that’s kind of what my last post was about…

  23. Such a gorgeous outfit, Patti! I love all of it! The camel skirt is a classic and that pretty frilled blouse works perfect with it. And oh my, that pendant! Just fabulous! xxx

  29. Isn’t it the best when an outfit just comes together and feels like “you”? Glad you have pieces that make you feel like that, Patti.

    Thanks so much for hosting – my entry this week was pretty out there for a breakfast in a diner! Ha! That’s what it’s all about though, right?
