OOTD: Retro

I can remember a time back in 2008 where I was in a DSW with my roommate, staring at a pair of heeled, open toed oxfords.

Me: I just don't get these, they're ugly.  And don't your toes get cold?

Roommate: Me neither, I don't get this trend.

Flash forward to 2011.  And what am I wearing?  Oh, heeled open toed oxfords.  Why oh why fashion, do you always make a hypocrite out of me?  I suppose that's the lesson here -- fashion is a fickle, fickle friend, so you just got to wear what feels good.  And today?  This outfit makes me feel real dang good.

Whenever I wear tie neck blouses I feel like I'm thrown back to some earlier time.  What time frame is it? The 70s probably?  Between this blouse and the fact that my skirt is swapped out of my roommate's closet and my belt was given to me by my mom, pretty much everything but my shoes has a retro vibe to it. Not to mention, I love orange! And pattern matching!  I don't know if you can tell, but the skirt has tiny chevrons on it.  This is definitely going to be on the repeat outfit list. 

 

Thanks for stopping by, see ya tomorrow!
