I also discovered the incredibly flattering lighting of my building’s elevator.

WhiteTopBlackSkirtYellowBelt

Yellow Aldo Belt necklacedetail

The top is absolutely gorgeous with the intricate details, mandarin collar and little cap sleeves. It is the shirt equivalent of a sleepy bunny. However, it has an empire hem and skirts out making me look slightly pregnant. I used to wear it with jeans a lot last spring, but that seems quite tired to me now. The skirt is my good ole black knit American Apparel skirt. It actually is a high waisted skirt, but when I bought it a couple of years ago I didn’t like the high waisted look on me. So, I bought the skirt a bit large and wore it around my hips. Now the waist band is slightly stretched out, but a wide belt cinches it up. The large yellow belt is an oldie and a goodie, found at the crazy DTX Aldo shop in Boston for $5. I love it when I find new ways to wear old clothes…still doesn’t keep me from shopping though
