Giraffes and Flower Power
After church, Walt and I usually stop and get some groceries at our local Kroger store. I am usually dressed up so outfit pictures naturally follow.
This floral cutout skirt–Wowza!
What makes this skirt so cute? Laser-cut posies bring cool dimension to this mid-length JOA skirt ($58). Hidden back zip. Lined. The prices is really fantastic to0 for this dressy of a skirt!
It’s all about the details
I adore the details of this outfit: the felt trim of the sleeve and the felt giraffe on the breast of the cardigan, the peacock necklace (so cheap from ebay) and the satin ladylike MaryJane’s! It’s easy for you to recreate the look.
Don’t forget a fab bag!
This is my favorite bag at the moment! Why is this bag insanely great? It’s a tote with pockets! Lots of them. No more digging around for your keys, phone and glasses! I featured this bag before here.

That is an absolutely adorable outfit! I would probably have to fight my daughter for the sweater though! lol
Stefany, it’s so funny you say that. My daughter has been trying to get this sweater from me for YEARS! Shelley
I am crazy over that skirt. It is so unique and pretty with those cut outs… and of course, just like everything; it looks AMAZING on you. Cute shoes too 🙂
Shauna, Why don’t you get yourself one? Just click my link, whip out the credit card and BAHM, it’s yours. Teehee. The Chief BLonde
This skirt has such a classy look yet is super hip at the same time. At first I thought it was an eyelet flower, but then I realized that the petals pop out. So cool!
I thought the same thing intially too Dede. Shelley
I swannie – you would look good in a potato sack!
(SIGH)
Love the colors of the sweater and shoes.
Oh thanks Libby. You are too funny. Appreciate you dropping by. SHelley
I love all the little details with this outfit!
Thanks, when I was posting it, I realized there were more even more fun details then I intended. Shelley
I love this outfit! The cutouts really complete the whole look! The giraffe is a fun touch as well!
I love love this giraffe sweater too Meagan. The Chief Blonde
That skirt is adorable, and I really like that bag too. Overall, it’s a great look!
I can’t brag enough on the bag Kimberly. A tote with pockets? What will they think of next? Shelley
Shelley you always look fabulous! That’s a great outfit and I gotta have that tote! I love it in white!
Now Shelley, it’s very easy for you to have this tote. Click on the link, whip out your credit card and buy! Affliate income for me (Yeah Me) and a great bag for YOU (Yeah YOU!) Shelley
Yeahhh… You’re twisting my arm!!! But I can’t afford it right now. 🙁 🙁 🙁
I LOVE that look- vintage, classic- especially that sweater! And that MK bag… great price for a bag that will last forever- and for me could even work as a diaper bag!
Chelley it would be a fab diaper bag with the big center divider and the two big side pockets and then the smaller zipper compartments and pockets. I never lose anything in there..which is so different for that big of a bag right? Shelley
For sure! I am going to slyly pass this info along to the parents on the Christmas list. I know we can’t afford it, but maybe the Mima and Pa want to spoil me 🙂
Well there you go!! Shelley

That skirt is so pretty! I’d totally fall on my face in the shoes, lol. You have such amazing fashion sense. I need a class on how to be more fashionable. I spend way too much time in pajamas, lol!
Be glad to help you anytime Nikki! Lots of people ask me for fashion tips! Shelley
The cutouts really add some flare to a white skirt. I could get a ton of use out of it with a variety of tips!
Brandy it is really adorable isn’t it! Hoping someone will buy one too so we can both wear it in a fashion post. Shelley
I love this outfit! Those shoes are too cute! You look gorgeous, as always.
