This was a great work outfit for the mild Seattle summer. The warmer sweater feel of the t-shirt and the comfortable swish of the silk skirt were a perfect pair. I also appreciated the fall vibes – this outfit feels really appropriate in August. It’s not quite ready to give up on summer, but still open to the coming fall.

Playing with colors and patterns meant that the accessories were simple: a lovely black scrunchie (thank goodness these are back in vogue!) and some small silver rabbit earrings.

Also I adore the print on this lovely skirt – a fantastic thrift store find! Not to mention it’s 100% silk so it will have some good lasting power if I take care of it.

T-Shirt: This is an Abercrombie & Fitch thrift store find that I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of. Aside from being the perfect color, I appreciate the softer feel and bit of warmth of the sweater like knit. Though this does make the pocket useless… I wore this shirt because I liked how it matched the flowers.

Skirt: I spotted this in the thrift store and thought “this can’t possibly fit” but I tried it on anyway, and boy was I glad. This Jones New York silk skirt has a great flow to it. It hangs in a way that really accentuates my curves, and overall just feels good. Plus, I love a print that looks like polka dots but is actually something else.

Shoes: You are going to see a lot of these dusty pink sneakers because they are some of my favorites. I love that they are monochrome and leather, which makes sense considering they are Tommy Hilfiger – a leader in classic, simple sneakers. Bonus: they are comfortable even for long periods of walking. I wore them here because I like how they pulled from the lighter pink shade of the flowers, in contrast with the darker red color represented in the t-shirt.

Accessories: I’m wearing my “Diva Dollar Store” sunglasses and my tiny silver rabbit earrings to keep with the delicate, summery feel of the outfit.
