Straight skirts have never been my favorite style. However, I was
forced to revise my opinion on them when I came across this graphic
skirt on Swap.com. [Shop from my referral link!] The floral print was bright and bold, and I'm
always a sucker for anything with birds on it!
I
could have worn many different tops with this skirt, but after trying a
couple of sweaters and feeling top-heavy in them, I decided I needed a
lightweight shirt that I could tuck into the waistband and show off the
red ribbon belt.
Enter my mustard-yellow long-sleeved tee!
Mustard
is another departure from the norm for me, as it has never been one of
my favorite colors. I've slowly warmed up to it over a course of years,
during which several mustard items arrived in my possession by way of
bulk lots and hand-me-downs. But the first mustard thing that I actually
chose for myself (knowingly, and not just because I thought it was a
straight yellow, like these boots)
is this shirt. I've decided that long sleeved T-shirts are a versatile
addition to any wardrobe, providing color and coverage without bulk. So I
stocked up on several over the winter and am currently working to
expand my collection to every color, much like my campaign to acquire short-sleeved T-shirts last spring.
The
problem with most of my long-sleeved T-shirts is they are way too thin
and tight to be appropriate for the office. I could see my bra through
the back of this one, so I decided to cover it up with a neutral vest.
Although the vest does hide the awesome ribbon belt a little, it adds a
level of complexity that turns this 2-piece outfit into a 3-piece
layered work of art.
