FACT: Stripes go with everything. 4 out of 5 Zebras agree. So when I felt a bit like dolling up, but still needed to be hoofing it, I chose comfortable shoes, a classic A-line skirt in an abstract print and paired them with the ever desirable black and white striped shirt.Just 5 easy pieces to make an impact.
Another FACT: this outfit is 99% thrifted. The garments and accessories are "pre-loved," but in excellent condition, and that saved me money, which puts a smile on my face. But said smile from all that savings, you don't see here in these photos, do you? I must have been channeling some sort of model off-duty persona (oh Bella, why so serious?) as I pranced about the back yard (avoiding doggy poop, no less) pretending I was being snapped by the paparazzi. The starlet sunglasses, while they resemble this fancy Chanel version, are just a pair of under $15 cheapos, picked up a year or so ago, from a Target.
In real life, I ran some errands, walking and taking public transit, so glad to be wearing these cute, practical and very walkable thrifted Naturalizer brand mary janes, which I adore, and scored for $4 bucks. And for the record, when I was out and about, no one attempted to take my picture. Zebras off duty are a dime a dozen in these parts, I presume.
