i had a moment of sartorial desperation the other day.
i knew i was going to wear one of my new scarves,
(this one is from jentine… pretty, no?)
and from there i decided on my vintage sailor shirt,
but i could not for the life of me settle on what to wear on bottom!
none of my skirts would do, and since that’s what i felt like wearing,
(and since we were in a hurry to get to a friends house) i knew it was time to get creative.
i peeked over into g’s side of the closet and snatched his chambray shirt
and what you see above is the end result!
just goes to show that there aren’t many fashion conundrums that
dinner with friends and a yummy bottle of wine won’t motivate you to plow through!
speaking of vino – i hope you have a great weekend, sweetie pies!
don’t forget that sunday at noon (CST) is when the sign ups to the scarf swap close!
oh, and check out the beginnings of my “silk scarf” pinterest board
if you’re looking for inspiration on how to wear your own!

The fact that you’re posing with wine? Totally rad.
ummm….genius!
This outfit is seriously magical. You are so creative with that shkirt (shirt/skirt?!). Ha. :)
Love that you are holding a bottle of wine in the photos too — so adorable!! xo
I don’t know if I am brave enough to pull this off BUT I lovelovelove it! Fashion is nothing if not fun, right?!
Stop it you creative genius. Teach me how to tie my shirts into skirts with bows! And I think my fave accessory is the bottle of wine.
Ahh! So creative. Love it!

Oh, I want to try this now! I made a skirt with a men’s Fruit of the Loom t-shirt today.
I’m trying to decide if I’m brave enough to try this myself. LOVE.
Beautiful! I just tried wearing a headscarf for the first time a few days ago…was kinda fun but I felt very dressed up…
Here are the results if you’re interested:

This is how you better show up at my house sometime… a pretty head scarf, a creative skirt and a bottle or 7 of wine.
