Here's what I wore to spend the afternoon with family:
Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Tee: Atmos&Here grey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Grey tee and maxi skirt - a wonderful outfit combination! This is something I quickly put on when hubby got a call and announced we had some unexpected visitors on their way, while we rushed around trying to clean up the house a little more, hehe! I paired this maxi skirt with a grey tee last time I wore it too, but it seems to go perfectly with anything I wear it with. Both these pieces are definite keepers.
I did wish I'd worn a necklace with this, the low neckline is so pretty with a necklace, but I didn't think about that until after I saw the pictures. Did leave baby T one less thing to grab though, which was nice.
Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarers, grey tee, striped maxi skirt, Havianas.
Here's what I wore to go out to the post office with baby T:
Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers
Tee: Jeanswest rolled sleeve grey marle tee
Skirt: thrifted black and white pleated striped maxi skirt from AWLQ jumble sale
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
I liked the striped maxi, grey tee combo so wore it again! This time half-tucking my shirt on the side instead of in the front, for a bit of a different look. I have a tiny torso as I'm petite, so I half-tuck my clothes a lot, I just don't think I've tried it to the side like this before. Not sure if I'll wear it like this again, as I was tugging at it a bit through the day, but it was good to be a little bit different in the way I wear my tops.
This Jeanswest tee hasn't been worn in 3 years! It's coming up to my 3 year 'blogiversary' in January, and I was taking almost daily photos for a while before blogging. I can't find when I wore it last, so I am fairly certain it's just been sitting there unworn for that long. It's survived multiple wardrobe clearouts, as every time I looked at it I could never throw away a good grey tee that "I wear all the time". Ha! Funny how I can still be surprised by the unworn items hanging in my wardrobe. No reason this grey tee shouldn't get as much wear as the others, it's cute and comfy. It's staying in my wardrobe, but I'm going to make an effort to wear it more. Perhaps the over abundance of grey tees I own is the reason this one hasn't popped up in the rotation yet....which is another problem...... ;)
Last worn: Wayfarer (see above), striped maxi skirt, Havaianas (see above). First time I've worn this old tee on the blog.

ReplyDeleteLaughing re the house tidy up!! I just freeze and then run around like a loon, quickly straightening things up if the door bell goes unexpectedly!!
ReplyDeleteI like the grey tones. You look lovely. :Dx
hehe, I'm lucky that as guests don't want to wake a sleeping baby, they call or text with a little bit of warning first! :)
Deleteloveee a maxi skirt, and a striped one is even better! great look :)
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable!! Loving the slouchy tee with the maxis! So pretty!

Beautiful outfits! It's great what a simple grey tee can do! You look great in both maxi skirts!

That striped skirt is absolutely amazing. I love how easy to wear maxi skirts are, and you've paired this so perfectly! x E

I also am short waisted (is that what you meant by tiny torso?). I never feel right at all when I tuck tops in but I think that's because my bust is so huge! I think you look great with your tops tucked in (and half tucked in). You also suit these soft shades, you look fab in grey!
ReplyDeleteOh I've never heard that before, yes, I'm short waisted! :) And just short in general..haha!
DeleteI seriously don't have a plain grey tee. I have no idea why, but I need more basics like this in my life.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm loving the pleats in the second skirt! Fun!

As someone who owns way too many grey tees, I can attest that they are wonderful basics! And also slightly addictive!
DeleteI like how you switched up the stripes here, so clever and so simple!

Mica the pleated skirt is SUCH a good find. i totally thought AWLQ was a clothing brand, haha. All over that second outfit, love love love!
ReplyDeletesteph / absolutely-fuzzy.com
Haha! I do have some of their tees actually! But it's more to promote the shelter than a clothing line ;) I should see if I still have those tees, they must be buried somewhere after my wardrobe move out of baby's nursery!
DeleteWhoa, that first outfit is just perfect! I love how the shade of the shirt and skirt mesh together so beautifully

I think a Tee and maxi will always be a great go-to, especially for quick situations like this! You look lovely, I love the grey Tee. /Madison xx
ReplyDeleteFrightfully Fabulous
Hey if it isn't broken, don't fix it right?! I love this combo you are sporting. As usual, you achieve the perfect balance between casual and pulled together chic. I love how the untucked tee looks with the maxi skirt, I'll have to try that myself sometime!

Awesome striped skirts Mica! My favorite is the first one. JCrew had a grey striped skirt! I should've purchased it. Your outfit has given me inspiration.

I wore a gray t-shirt with a maxi dress in my last blog post, so I obviously love the look. Both of these outfits are really cute!
ReplyDeleteI like this skirt but I can't help but imagine it hemmed short. Since we are petite I think it would be a good look on you but then again it might be more summer that way.
ReplyDeleteIt would look cute shorter! But I do love my maxis, despite my short stature! :)
DeleteI like that cool AWLQ skirt (never heard of the brand!) and I have been looking for the perfect grey tshirt and have yet to find it.
ReplyDeletehehe, it's just the name of the animal shelter that had the sale to raise money! The skirt doesn't have a tag sadly!
Deletei just inherited a striped maxi from my friend and i am totally looking to you for inspiration on how to style it! there is nothing better than a comfy tee. they usual survive all of my closet cleanouts!

Love these two striped maxi skirts! I've been wanting a striped maxi forever! Thanks for sharing the sale code, I will be checking ASOS out!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the second outfit because of its more relaxed, unstructured vibe...it's easy-going and fun! I also like the rolled sleeves
ReplyDeleteWhat I appreciate from the first look is the skirt...great looks Mica and Happy Tuesday to you :)
I'm so in love with your striped skirt!!
