Floral Layered Cake

Life is great, but I have been completely wiped out with
exhaustion and have somewhat been taking social media intervals. Spending time
with loved ones has been the only
thing on my mind. Well, that and a major desire to schedule a spa appointment!  

Here’s an outfit that I wore on a day off. We had friends
over for a good catch-up with an early seafood dinner and grilled veggies, and
then watched the sunset. It was likely going to be our last barbecue together
before everyone’s hectic workload was in full effect.

Most of our guests tend to wear suits or other tailored
threads to work, so this was definitely a more comfortable, fun, and casual style
of attire. I decided on “girly meets romantic androgyny.” 

I asked for a small—this was so enormous, and clearly the wrong
size was tagged, marked, and sent. I pondered how I might modify this piece for future wears. (Ahem, oversize cardigan or dyed jacket perhaps?) Unquestionably,
this may just be my scissors talking, but something
is absolutely in the works … you can quote me on that!

This top also reminded me of layered cake every single time
that I looked at it—so sweet and feminine looking.  So, I decided to pair tougher elements with it
to give it some edge. It didn’t need too much: a hat, shorts, and a favourite pair
of heels seemed just fine. 



The goods: Shoes-Hervé Léger, Floral rosette top-c/o Oasap, Patent leather clutch-Vintage, Hat-Banana Republic, Earrings-Maylee’s Jewelry. DIY old denim-Acne, Bracelet-

family heirloom Belt (worn as tie)-H&M.

    I definitely like the layered cake look, and I can tell it's a bit big, but the oversize feel is pretty great on you. Awesome heels too!

    This top is lovely in its oversized state – I love how your shorts just peek out from underneath it. But I do understand how that might not be comfortable for long term wear and since you have the sewing skills, why not make it over into something you really love? I can't wait to see what you do with it!

    I'm with Vix – I think the top looks as though it's made to be worn at that size. Or perhaps it's that YOU wear it so well over-sized, especially as it shows your legs in all their glory!

    Hmmm, perhaps you're right Vix. This (above) is with me pinning the back too! 🙂 I may take it in just a tad though. XX

    Sounds like fun. Grilled veggies. I'd love to eat that too. Yup looks like the sent you the wrong size (that the only drawback with online shopping) but I like this oversized floral top this way. Looks pretty cool with the hat. The 3D glasses have arrived yesterday and we watched the film for 30 minutes until the glasses ran out of power haha. I hope we have more luck next time. Have a wonderful and happy Sunday Madison 😀
