This past week has been quite an intense one work-wise, but it all resulted in such a great way! There were times throughout the week when it even felt a bit difficult to keep up with news, online activities, and blog reading. When this occurs I find that’s when a little relaxing session is in order. So, I did exactly that … not in the conventional sense. This particular time, it was more of a sewing studio session followed by gourmet cooking in the kitchen with new and longtime friends.
I wore this outfit weeks ago to visit a friend in the countryside. I
decided to add a colour blocked top with minimal accessories this time,
which worked out perfectly since we were off to attend an art showing in
someone’s beautiful backyard garden that day.
I haven’t brought out this skirt as much as I would have liked to this season at all; although I do believe I gave it a fair amount of wear most of last year. Sometimes it’s not only a print that strikes me, it’s the rhythmical combination of colours!
This skirt is one of those sweet melodies of romantic floral that can easily set the tone for a lovely day. I suppose it’s because of the simplicity in the silhouette. A marvellous above-the-knee flare skirt certainly doesn’t hurt a fashion welcome to summer, even for only a short-lived sun break in the day.

🙂 That sounds like quite the workout Mary Jo. I wish I had a green thumb, but I've only had a very small garden, pretty much abandoned since I am hardly home. Thanks for your sweet comment. Enjoy the week! 🙂 xx
🙂 I agree, and do enjoy the kitchen. Such good times and togetherness! /Madison

Thanks team! Hope you are doing well. x 🙂
Those colors are gorgeous on you! I love that you took the time to do some things that relaxed you. I'm the same, took a big 2 and a half hour session cleaning up the garden until my legs were shaking (it was like doing 1,000 squats – cleaning up all the leaves) and dead-heading roses. I felt amazing afterward though, better than sleep 🙂 Hope you're off to a wonderful new week Madison!

Madison, I saw your cute outfit on Instagram! I couldn't wait to read your post. The look is so seamless I could've sworn it was a DRESS. It's a top & skirt! Well they look fabulous together. It's the perfect pairing. I know how you feel. I did some spa time for myself today. Sometimes things become a little to monotonous. You have to break and getaway. Have a great weekend!

What a perfect look for a day in the country, Madison! I can't get overhow lovely and romantic your skirt is,h it's a shame you haven't worn it more this year but I find that happens very easily… I seem to go in phases with my clothes, wearing some things repeatedly while others are temporarily forgotten. But I think it just makes rediscovering those pieces more special 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
