How Sweet It Is

This giant mustard scarf has been keeping me real cozy. Colour wise, I have been experimenting with layering similar shades. (Peach and mustard? They're close enough.) Layering is key to staying comfortable and snug during this season. By all appearances I should be freezing in this outfit, but I'm three layers deep in a blouse, sweater, and scarf. I could have thrown on a slip and had four layers! Stacked.

When I thrifted this skirt, the length hit just below my knees. I hemmed a few inches off myself, by hand, and it started to unravel. A kind friend gave it a proper seam with her sewing machine. But after being shortened twice, it's a little... short.

That's what black tights are for!

Looove the different shades of gold and yellow! I actually like the length of the skirt. It makes it a bit more modern than what it probably used to be :) Your legs are amazingly long anyway so you can show them off ;)

Yellow looks so great with the print on your skirt. This is just a great combination of color. The yellow, black, and brown are really nice together.

I just stumbled across you blog, I think it is really lovely and nice. (your hair is awesome!) And I totally dig this outfit. I love the colour of the scarf + sweater + the white collar of the shirt. The knit of the sweater is very nice too!
