Look Book: Floral Cardigan + Yellow Pleats

Jun 11, 2012

This past weekend was perfectly uneventful. Martin & I were both fighting off the flu so we spent much of it plopped on our couch: backed up my computer, watched movies, and went out for a bowl of miso soup & sashimi. Yup, blissfully uneventful! ;) I’ve also finally started to learn how to shoot and edit video. I'm having so much fun and can't wait to share something oh-so-soon!!
I've been eyeing this lovely skirt forever and was absolutely thrilled to temporarily swap it with my blogging pal Cee of Coco and Vera. I loved pairing it with a floral cardigan & my new cork wedges from Blowfish - just what I needed, this outfit was an instant cheer me up! xo veronika
Outfit Details: 
Tee - Old Navy
Skirt - Swapped, Coco & Vera
Shoes - c/o Blowfish

  25. Oh hurray! Seeing this outfit was an instant day brightener this morning :) I once paired my favourite lemon skirt wiht a black and white cardigan, but a bright option never occurred to me - I love the inspiration that comes from clothing swaps, not to mention the fun of seeing my pieces travelling around the blog world. Your did a beautiful job with this, definitely gives me some ideas for how I'm going to wear this skirt when it comes home! Happy sunny Monday, my friend!
