Every morning I stare into my closet and wonder, "What the heck am I going to wear?" So I thought I would start this blog for fun to chronicle fashion and what things I am wearing that day. I hope to help myself by actually thinking of stuff that looks fun and fashionable and proving myself with a memory for the mornings that I am really struggling. And maybe help you too.

PV to RL - Metallic Beach Cardi - MDO

First Day of MDO


First Day of MDO by dottedy featuring J.Crew - Metalic Beach Cardigan




Today was the first day of MDO (Mothers Day Out), and I took my 3-y-o and then met another mom for coffee. The weather here in SW OK (southwest Oklahoma) is getting cooler. Tropical Storm Hermine passed our way yesterday so the weather was humid and damp......kinda like a beach!



So my newest purchases, the beach cardi and the skimmer pants from my most consistent obsession J. Crew.


The Metallic Beach Cardi in a lot more striking in person. The gold flecks really come to life.

On my PV set, the colors seem more subtle and therefore I think blend more, but in RL the cardi really pops with gold flecks. White is the most neutral I can get, and I added the pink/mauve belt because I loved how the olive skimmer pants made it pop.

Sandals are from Calvin Klein, gold. I got them for $10 at Marshals! Hooray for Labor Day sales!

What do you think?

That combo is beautiful! How tall are you and what size skimmers are those, if I may ask.
