I'm a day owl
This is day three of a series I’m doing that features a month of outfits. Read my intro here, find out about the Challenge here, and Day 1, and Day 2.
Why hello! Do I look jovial and well rested? That is because I am! My darling little Opes decided to surprise me with a 7 hour stretch of sleep from 12-7, and I didn’t even have to nurse her the whole time (mommy joke, sorry!) And as another switch, she was actually in her bedroom, so there was no little baby feet kicking my side when I woke up this morning..though actually, I kind of missed the little feet. I know it, I’m sick! Ha!
Anyway, today is day 3, and marks the first day I have cheated on Lucky and made a substitution. According to Lucky I am supposed to wear my espadrilles, and not that you know this, but for some reason over the course of the 30 days the espadrilles get proportionally more Lucky shoe lovin than the other 4 pairs. I am not a supporter of shoe discrimination, so even though they looked completely fine with today’s outfit, I made a command decision and put on my oh-so-trendy booties instead. I know, such a rebel, I’m sooo naughty!
Speaking of naughty, today’s outfit struck me as very ‘sassy librarian’ until I realized that my unconscious styling choice of the owl pin coupled with the vest and scarf made it more like ‘naughty Harry Potter’. Actually, as a lover of the HP books and most of the movies (ask my sister, I cried buckets last week when watching the new and sadly final one), I think it takes the outfit up a notch. Not too shabby for a muggle like me! I think I might even wear my glasses today.
Alright, ACCIO OOTD PICS:
Outfit Details: Puff Sleeved Top- XXI, Vest- Guess, Shorts- Mossimo and acquired at Nico's swap, Shoes- Target, Owl Pin- Vintage, Scarf- Vintage and inherited by my Great Grandmother
Don't be a hatah, white legs are in!
the BOTD: Hayden Harnett for Target
My impressions: Although it is a little hot to be wearing a scarf, chiffon or not, I can dig the combo, and I think the scarf helps keep the outfit from looking too juvenile. I don’t know if I would have considered combining puff sleeves with a vest, but I think it looks pretty good. Even though I wouldn’t normally mix brown and black (and Lucky probably wouldn’t either, but again, we worked with what I had in my closet to match the staple items) I think it looks fresh.
Day 3 on a scale 1-10: Ease of wear: 6, Personal Excitement Factor: 7 Harry Potterness: 7
So what are your thoughts on today? Is this a look I should try to replicate in my non-challenge life? Do you like the Librarian/HP vibe? And for future reference should I take photos when Calliope is awake so she can be in them?
