It’s been a very long time since I’ve worn shorts—alas the season has come! A little bit ago, I had a chance to don these shorts that I wore to a friends barbecue gathering, which was more of a catered gathering than anything else. Live music, good company, and great food always brings my spirits up. But, holiday time will soon arrive and hopefully long awaited beach time as well.
Have you ever thought about wearing something weeks before you actually wore it? This top is one of those items, although the reason behind why I kept thinking about it was entirely non-fashion based. It reminded me of a specific pattern that I saw on a collection of beautiful dinner plates that loved!
Years ago, as I went off shopping for stemware and an attempt at dinnerware. I kept pondering about those plates as I walked every inch of the store, but later concluded that I could not justify the pretty price tag that the store wanted for the entire collection. Instead, for the same price of two quality handbags, yes, I passed! However, the memory is still forever embedded in my mind. And, no worries, I did manage to purchase other dinnerware of equal style and quality, and far less expensive days after my shopping trip.
The look: I decided to colour block in richer hues with the embroidered kimono inspired silk top by adding earthy brown tones. It worked for the occasion!
Have you been able to make it to the beach yet? I have new swimsuits longing to be worn and appreciated. Well, enough about that, here’s to wishing you a wonderful summer week!
The goods: Sandals and Embroidered blouse-Anthropologie, Bracelets/bangles-Nordstrom,charity shop, Necklace-Art show, Shorts-New York and Co., Embellished bag-DIY
The whole look is very nice!
P.S. I have started a beauty contest on my blog and you can also participate with a fashion post.
Thank you! 🙂
Your sandals are fabulous!!
You are rocking that outfit! I find it impossible to plan outfits, that's why it takes me so long to pack for festivals! x
That´s a rather cute top, love the matching of your shorts and shoes.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. 🙂
Thanks so much Kim, You 're so sweet, Always appreciate your visit dear. And, yes I was very happy that I waited and found better dinnerware in the end. x/M
Madison, you look pretty from your head to your shoes girl. I love the print and cut of that top! Great solid color shorts. How fabulous is that necklace and your peep toe shoes are adorable. Glad you found some less expensive dinnerware. Sometimes we just have to trust that something better will come along. It's hard, but it's important to have faith.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. 🙂

These colours suit you so well and I love the idea of colour blocking in these shades. I often think of wearing items weeks before I actually do. I have no idea why it always takes me so long to get around to it.

Your top is gorgeous. I don't think I would have liked the shorts otherwise but they work great with your top.

Thanks so much dear. I agree, most people often think "colour blocking" means brights, but it's fun to experiment with other hues. xx/Madison

It's funny where we find inspiration. Dinnerware and art and decor— they can all be sources! I think this is a great put together look for a summer outing.
As for the beach- it is just a short subway ride away, but alas- we haven't been in about a month. But it is summer year round here, so I am sure the opportunity will come!
cute outfit!

Such a perfect look. Love your shorts so much!
I often plan outfits for different weather conditions! perhaps I should live more in the moment.
With such fabulous legs, I'm surprised you don't wear shorts more often. (Though of course, chilly summer days do get in the way…)

I'm not big on shorts during the Summer. I usually like to stick to dresses and skirts. These are super cute though! I think the length is perfect.

You look great in shorts. Not everyone does, so you're lucky. And I too spent more time contemplating clothes and purchases than I ever expected. It's actually kinda fun.
So pretty! Love the embroidery on that blouse.
You're perfect, love tour top!

Oooo….that Anthro top is super nice:) And LOL on the dinnerware memory. I've had many moments like that esp. at Williams Sonoma:P
Hi Madison! It happens also to me to think about a combo that then I will wear weeks later, especially when buy the item, I just know how will match it!:) The look is perfect, I like how you played with the color blocking, the kimono inspired top is so nice, as well as the sandals! You look great dear! Unfortunatelly still didnt go to the beach, hope soon! I have to buy a new swimsuit too!:) Kisses and have a good day! xo

The pattern on your shirt is so amazing!

Oh this is fab! You rock shorts! I think we always get carried away with the notion that colour blocking has to be in bright bright colours and forget the richer tones available to us. This is a great look incorporating a touch of florals too.
