Happy November! It's the beginning of another week, a new day, and new inspiration. Hopefully, your weekend had you fully rested and keeping warm if the climate blew bone-chilling breezes.
For me, it seems like October was all of two whole weeks in some ways creatively speaking. However, in the reality of pencilled in schedules and other life happenings, yes, I do recall feeling each moment. Some moments hurriedly passed through the hours of an entire day, and others tended to move at a snails pace.
I have been excited about November the past few weeks though, because I know that several planned affairs will be happening. The eagerness had also set in because I am heading off to visit family and friends soon, which may be slightly overdue since I missed a few people last time around. I can already smell the biscuits! But, enough about that!
Here's an outfit that I wore on an off-day. The day was filled with nothing except yoga, library research, Turkish cuisine, a few sketches in the handy notebook, and spending time out at cafés.
This skirt was a long maxi that I chopped off last year. The hem was too long, and since I loved the blue and grey colour combination I wanted to make a scarf out of the same fabric. It was casual, but everything in my outfit gave off a soothing colour palette and spirit of calm. You see, calm hues can be happy as well!

I love the way you're wearing a simple white tee with the skirt Madison--love how comfortable but stylish it looks. Hope you're off to a happy new November, hoping this one will pass a little slower than last month!

Those boots! What a great colour!
ReplyDeleteHi Madison! Love the way you've created this look ... adorable, and the booties are so great too! Hope your November is FABULOUS. Last week was so incredibly busy for me and then I was out of town for the weekend and this is the first chance I've had to stop by to say thanks for your lovely comment on the Masked Ball post last week. Hopefully, this week will be a wee bit less squished! lol Have a "dreamy" new week! ~S

Thanks Mary Jo! Happy November to you too! xo :)
ReplyDeleteHi dear! Thank you. The boots are so comfortable and my favourite, finally get to wear them out. Enjoy your day.xx
ReplyDeleteOctober really did go by in the blink of an eye. I'm completely dumbstruck that it is already November. It's WEIRD.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit. I'm a huge fan of pleated schoolgirl skirts and I love that you made a matching scarf out of it. It makes the outfit so much more cooler. And that skirt really did need to be chopped off, haha. I'm not a big fan of long pleated skirts. (They've always seemed kind of schoolmarmish to me). :)
I agree! Thanks Courtney for your comment. x
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so jealous that you can still wear short sleeves and skirt :) I would freeze to death in such an outfit! But anyway, you look really fantastic, and so cute!

Madison, you have to tell us MORE about those biscuits! HAHAHA Sounds yummy! Love your skirt girl. I love a great looking plaid (tartan). Wishing you a beautiful week doll.

I like how you used the fabric that you cut from the skirt for your scarf. Very creative! I'm ready for November too.
ReplyDeletethe plaid looks awesome on you! love the booties you got on here too :)
ReplyDeleteHi there Sandy! Thanks for your sweet comment. Yes, it's been quite a busy one as well. Hopefully we both will get a break soon. :) ~xx /M
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! Oh, yes fresh made biscuits are my favourite! I'm always talking about food. haha!
ReplyDeleteOctober just flew by, but that seems to be the trend every month these days. You know the rest of the year is going to go by in a wink!
ReplyDeletelove your cute pleated skirt!
the skirt is totally pretty! I love the length and the pattern :) I cannot believe it's November 5!!! Where did the first 4 days of November go?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skirt! Happy November to you too!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute, loving these shoes!
ReplyDeleteI know! Now, the holidays will swiftly arrive!
ReplyDeleteI agree Jen, the skirt definitely needed a chop at the hem!
Thanks for your comment dear. :)
I hope you have a great time with your family! I certainly miss mine this time of year. I'm a huge fan of scarves -- love yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks Zarna! Hope you're doing well dear. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)

Dear, you´re wearing plaid! Just the print I adore too. Great look. The matching scarf really made a big difference, making the mix look polished instead of a high school uniform.

I love how you are so creative with reinventing your clothes - I'm always so tentative about hacking off hems, sleeves or whatever. But it makes sense if you get a piece that is more fun to wear! The skirt is very cute and I love the cutoff as scarf. Great blue boots too!
ReplyDeleteI want your skirt!!
