I don't often get sick, but last week, I had the mother of all illnesses and was down for the count for three days. I didn't get dressed (heck, I barely got out of bed!). I did have the pleasure of watching an entire season of Dexter, an exciting rarity because I usually don't have time to watch TV. Thanks for your sweet well-wishes and for sticking in there while I vanished :)
I had to come back with a bang of an outfit so it was the perfect time to break out this skirt I've been hoarding waiting for cooler weather. I got it on sale thinking it would be the warmer winterized version of this one, because it's wool. (Freakishly, it's back to full price right now but knowing J. Crew, it'll drop again if you have your eye on it).
I don't often pair orange with blues, so I liked the unexpected contrast of both color and texture (denim against wool). I could see updating this for colder temps with navy tights and boots, but for now, I'm loving this little indian summer we're having and a few more weeks of blissfully bare legs!

glad you feel better. Love the outfit...very classic. Those shoes are so fun!
I like the way that the colors work together as well. And the denim shirt adds texture and interest to the outfit. :)
Oh, I just love this! Something about the color combination is so spot on!!
And I'm glad you're feeling better. Those first colds/flus of the season are pretty rough!
Cute outfit, and glad to hear you're feeling better!

those shoes are the cutest. glad you're alive!
I really like the contrast of orange and blue - and you pull it off nicely (I don't think I could manage it). Glad to hear that you are feeling better as well, and that you got to watch a whole season of Dexter (I love that show).

You look gorgeous, friend. Glad you're back to 100%. I love this outfit and your photo location!
Yay for unexpected color/texture combinations! Blue and orange are really underused, lovely complementary colors, if you ask me.
I'm glad you're all better!
And this color combination looks great together.
Just Better Together
Glad to see proof that you're alive, and what awesome photos!! I think your color scheme looks great here, it's almost a neutral palette so the subtle blues and orange work wonderfully together :)
Glad to see you are feeling better.
I love your look today...makes me want a chambray shirt...
The denim shirt looks like it almost ofsets the orange of the skirt. It is a perfect combination!
glad you are feeling better! i absolutely love this outfit. the colors are so perfect for fall. the bright blue shoes are a nice pop of color too. ~joelle
Glad you are alive. :) I am loving today's outfit. You look great!
I'm so glad you're better!!!!!
I love it! The blue and orange look fabulous together.
I also love the photo location spot today!
CLOTHED MUCH, a modest fashion blog
You've picked up on something I've been wondering lately. I've been known to pair a tee-shirt with wool...and I'm wondering if that's weird.
Good to see you back again on your feet...honestly, i am not a big fan of today´s outfit, though. Seems as if the skirt shortens you vertically, which maybe has to do with the flats...i don´t know....i am confused now :)
I'm sure your mortal coil thanks you for continuing to be alive. Hooray! I like the color combination.

I agree about the indian summer weather. I personally love summer, but fall is just as beautiful. Im just dreading the winter cold...eee! Love this outfit. You look so adorable.
I'm enjoying the Indian summer too! You look great and blue and orange is a classic color combo.
Ah, it's my favorite shoes again! Love those flats. And I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better :-)
Welcome baaaaaaaack! It's funny, because I think I had the exact same title for one of my blog posts, complete with the exaggerated iiiiiiiiiiiiii's.
I happen to really like orange and blue together, and the chambray is darling. Glad to hear you're better; though isn't it nice to catch up on TV shows when you're sick? That's how I ended up watching all of Pushing Daisies once.
Toast with Charmalade
I love catching up on tv when I'm sick. It's kind of a silver lining, isn't it? You look fabulous in these pics, btw!
Same skirt as Kendi? You two are both so cute, and fabulous dressers.
hey! just thought i'd drop you a note to say my outfit today was very much inspired by you! so i gave you a shoutout on my blog. then i realised that you probably wouldn't see it unless i told you! awkward! hah.
glad you are feeling well again, that skirt is such a nice colour.
i think i have the same top, I love it with the colour of that skirt!! Really cute!
