Snow and a Lady Tie

I forgot to post this outfit last week:

Silk Tie: thrifted Brooks Brothers (similar)   Sweater: Gap
Skirt: thrifted vintage (similar)  Boots: Michael Michael Kors (similar)

I wore this when we still had all that snow, but it was already a bit warmer.  Warm enough, at least, to forgo a scarf and wear a lady tie instead.

It's not that you can't wear lady ties in the dead of winter, it's just that when you have to cover them up with a thick scarf, it robs people of the enjoyment they get from admiring said lady tie.


You want people to enjoy your lady tie, don't you?

Yeah, me too.


Happy Wednesday, All!

Literary Stylings #15: The Weight of Water

Today's look is inspired by the book, The Weight of Water, by Anita Shreve:

As I said in my post last week, I absolutely loved this book.  I love how Shreve writes and, for some reason, her descriptions of Norway reminded me of Oregon.  I was able to connect to this book in a way I wasn't able to with the other books I read.  So, I guess it makes sense that I'd be sartorially inspired by the book.

Here is my outfit:

Much of the book takes place in the North Atlantic, off the coast of Massachusetts so I thought winter white and chambray was a good way to go.

Shirt: LOFT  Cardigan: Gap  Jeans: Old Navy
Necklace: Modcloth (similar)  Boots: Born Crown (similar)

 The cardigan also works with the theme.  Gap calls it a fishnet pattern, but it also looks to me like waves:

Either way, this outfit gave me a sense of the sea that I think worked for this book.

And now it's your turn.  You can link up below!
