Also, outfit time!

Top: GAP
Skirt: modbod
Belt: Asos
Flats: Qupid
Ring: Inspired Silver
Earrings: F21

With the flats and skirt and shirt combo, this outfit reminds me of a mime. But like, a cute Parisian mime that is charming and doesn't pretend she's stuck in a box. I'm kind of in love with the shape of this skirt. It's just casual enough that I can wear it on a Tuesday and not feel overdressed, especially with flats.

Also, to prove I'm the least sophisticated person alive, I will tell you that these flats were in my closet for like, a year, because one day I was shopping at Michaels (NOT for myself because I'm not crafty enough) and the rose on one of the shoes came unwound and I had no idea what to do. It was just flopping all over the place. I tied it in a knot and ran out of there like a crazy recluse. But when I got dressed I was like "Ugh, I wish my rose flats were still in tact" and I just decided to get out the glue gun and fix them while running late out the door. Classic Jae. I've worn them like, every day since. WHY did I not just do that a year ago? Answer: Because I'm the kind of person who gets panicky in a Michaels, that's why.

Also, check out my new go-to red: Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Cherry Tart. It's SO easy to wear and not like Christina Aguilera-ish. Such a fan!

OH! Also, check out this awesome article about modest dressing, published in yesterday's Boulder DailyCamera. You can click on the image below to read through... it'll just take you to a print screen where you can zoom in. I had so much fun talking with reporter Aimee Heckel, who wrote the piece.

Good times! Geez, that was a lot of stuff for a Monday. Back to school is tomorrow. Anyone else planning on running around like a crazy person all day? I'm sending my first all-dayer off to first grade and oh the lunch situation stresses me out. Off to buy mass quantities of yogurt!

That was a really cool article. I'm LDS... is it weird that I'm slightly proud that our clothes are considered a "fad?" LOL!

I think that it might be irony that your shoe fell apart in Michaels...

Bahahah probably in the glue gun aisle? Poetic justice.

You look awesome! I have a weakness for this type of outfit--it looks so easy and classic and chic.

Also, yes, you resemble Sophie Marceau in this photo much more than Marcel Marceau.

Meet me for baguettes in an hour, right?? Right.

Oh Nora, I love you so. I had that scene from Starsky and Hutch in my head -- where they pretend to be mime's for the girl's bat mitzvah -- when I was getting dressed in this. lol!

Carolyn said...

Ok, so I'm from Boulder, and I find that extra cool. :) Way to be famous, Jae! :)

Vogue Sky said...

Ahh!

I feel shy now.

But yes. Baguettes, and Starsky and Hutch. A winning combo, for sure.
