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.

The cutouts looks so trendy! Nowadays, people just wear whatever clothing that they think suit their body type. So I think this design is not only for women over 45 but for everyone.
Quite true Roch! The Chief Blonde
This reminds me of old photos of my grandmother, who was so beautiful and stylish back in the 1950’s. I am in love with that decade- the music, the clothes, the modesty, the wholesome family values…You look beautiful!!!
Thanks Jacqueline, I am honored to have brought up the memory of your grandma! The Chief Blonde
I’d love the cutouts for me! Whata cute skirt!

What a cute skirt. I love totes I have one from NY&Co that I just fell in love with it makes for a great laptop case.
Mine would be super for a laptop too…I always worry about the handles though. The Chief Blonde
I THINK THE skirt looks just a cute on you as the model. What a great outfit.

How cute is that giraffe? I love the blue (my favorite shade and color) and the white pairing. Awesome outfit!
I had never worn it with white before so it was really fun to see those colors paired. The CHief Blonde
I really like the power blue color on the sweater. It’s new and different. Goes well with that skirt.

Thanks Michelle! The Chief Blonde
Nice outfit but too vintage for my tastes and not in my colour wheel either. Too dressy for this old farm girl. I’m more of a dressy jeans kinda girl.
I like dressy jeans too Christine. Yes, this is definitely for a very feminine moment. The Chief Blonde
Loving the cut out skirt and I agree with you on the bag. I have that stripe one in Navy and White and have been wearing it non-stop!
