This new top is now one of my favorites. It's simple, but is made of a slinky fabric I like and feels good to wear against my skin. It has a tiny elastic around the waist with a tie. I normally do not like that type of elasticized waistband on me, but this is an exception.
I wore it with my navy waterfall cardigan and navy sandals. I'll be glad when we have a few days warm enough to wear it without the cardigan...but we don't get a whole lot of those.
My hair is no longer long enough to create a big "messy bun" so I wrapped a scarf up into it to make a faux bun. I quite liked it and will look for other scarves in my collection to do this hairstyle with again. This scarf was in a different pattern, but had the same color palette as the rest of my outfit with navy and coral colors.

Thanks so much for stopping by, Jess.
DeleteYou look lovely and I like the way you used a scarf to create a faux bun. I might try that technique myself. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to visit. Thank you! xo
DeleteLove the Navy and coral color combo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracey. :)
DeleteYou little print mixing diva, you! Excellent outfit, and I see what you mean about the tie at the waist ... it's right at the base of the V shapes, and becomes a design element as well as a waist defining element. Me too ... I love slinky fabric! You look darling, as usual!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet Jan. :)
DeleteBeautiful top, love the print. You look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHi, Lana! I didn't expect to like this top as much as I do. I'll be wearing it with my black cardigan and black pants someday too.

DeleteHi Lisa, nice to see you again!! I guess I must be missing the blogging connections because I'm back on. May not be posting quite as often but it sure is fun.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking very slender and stylish. I love that top in the first photo. Are you still working on cleaning out your dressing room?? ;)
haha Well, I've cleaned out a ton of stuff....but added right back to it.
DeleteGood to see you. Have a great week!
Lisa, Those colors are great on you! You have the best smile- it brightens my day. cherie at stylenudge.com
ReplyDeleteI love that scarf bun. PLEASE - how did you do it? I would love to try it but can't understand from the photo exactly "how". Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm sorry I'm just now seeing your question. I first put my hair in a sort of low ponytail. Then I folded the scarf to about 3 inches wide, but left it long. Starting from the underneath side of ponytail I wrapped it upwards around the pony and tied it tight, then wrapped it back down and tied underneath. I then just continued randomly wrapping it around until I came to the ends of the scarf then tied the end. I used a couple of bobby pins to hold the scarf in place in areas it seemed to be slipping. This was the first time I'd tried it and didn't really know what I was doing. I just wrapped and pinned till it looked the way I wanted and stayed put.
