WIW: Cotton Gauze (w/e 6/18/22)...

I like cotton gauze better than linen because it wrinkles less. Granted, it's not as cool as linen, but it's cool enough. These three are easy care...I sometimes have to do a quick touch up ironing on the hot pink and coral ones if I wear them a second time. I never iron the black one.

#1 Out to lunch with my gf one day; shopping the next...

Lola River "pink clay" 100% cotton gauze (TJMaxx)
Off-white button front H&M baggy jeans




Bueno sandals "caramel"
The Sak straw handbag




I actually own some gold jewelry haha.
Thrifted link necklace
My Mom's gold necklace from Italy
Diamond necklace (gift from an admirer back in the day)
Goldtone earrings from Neiman Marcus (has 4 different "charms")
Gold charm bracelet...all the charms except for the diamond chip heart ended up in the pawn shop in a bad time of my life!




#2 Errands

Lucky Brand (TJMaxx)
Kut from the Kloth boyfriend jeans (needs another 1/2 inch or so cut off...I'm scissors happy these days haha)



Tommy Bahama espadrilles
Finally, an accurate pic of the color of thrifted Vera Bradley tote!
SS heart/toggle necklace, Brighton filigree necklace & bangle = thrifted
Two old SS cuffs
SS earrings (gift from Handsome)




#3 Thrifting and dinner date night

Eileen Fisher gauze
AG crops




Lucky Brand straw bag
Thrifted Laurel Burch silk scarf
Donald Pliner slides




Vintage ivory bangle
Thrifted yellow animal print earrings (glass beads)
Two thrifted bracelets




I didn't think I was going to like this...it's very bold...but I love it. It really looks great with black and certainly brightens things up! $3 well spent...



Hope y'all are having a nice weekend.

@MacDuFF - I agree with @santorini! I love all of your looks, but in this trio I'm partial to the second look- love the color combinations, and those espadrilles. . !   Smiley Happy

I agree. All outfits look sharp, put together, and comfortable. But that second photo just pops. Love the color and those shoes.

@MacDuFF 

If I had to pick a favorite I would go with #2.  Bright pink is one of my favorite colors!  You look fabulous!

As usual I love all your fashion put togethers!  I am also a fan of pink and gauze!  Two of my favorite things in clothing.  I also am a huge fan of the clothing brand - Lucky.  I have bought a lot of tops at Marshall's from this brand.  May I be nosy and ask -- do you have a huge walk-in closet?  I have a lot of clothing and accessories, but not much closet space and I find it very hard to be organized.  I know a weeding out is necessary, but I have yet to get up the gumption and energy to do so. And parting with things is very hard for me -- I get so attached to stuff, which is nonsense, ya know?  Cat Wink

2 great and 1 good, IMO!

 

There's something about crisp white bottoms with a contrasting top, I love.  Had #3 included white pants, it could have been my favorite.

 

I love the shoes in #2.  I have the DJP slides in #3 but seldom wear them.  When I walk they make a loud slapping noise that drives me crazy.

 

How often do you get your hair cut?  It's always perfect.
