Well, hello dear readers I have missed you! Aside from the usual (work+play+travel) I have been helping out a friend with a new art project (non-fashion related), which has been incredibly inspiring. Often with blogging it is easy to get wrapped up in the posting schedule of everyone else. Of course, there is nothing wrong with a schedule, however I invite you to remember that we must all take time out for ourselves as well—to live life, inspire others and be inspired!
For me, I will continue to do what I have always been doing. But, at this very moment I may need to take a bit of a breather from time to time during the week, given the timeline of these new additional and exciting ventures. I have also finally got back to sewing, so hopefully I will upload a few projects via Instagram in the near future.
This outfit is inspired by none other than nature's own colours. Even throughout the season of summer I still find myself constantly layering. It's almost like a subconscious styling element, but it also always works for me in the end. For this look I decided to layer a lace petticoat with my retro crepe printed dress; one that I bought at a secondhand shop. I really wanted to wear variations of blue, so this combination was well suited for the fashion mission at hand.
In case you haven't noticed, blue and yellow are two colours that are my absolute favourites! Since I have donned yellow in all of its glory it was definitely time to give blue some love!
So, what's your favourite colour? Wishing you a lovely summer and joyous weekend!

ReplyDeleteHi dear, i completely agree on taking out time for blogging for oneself. I am loving this gorgeous shade and the skirt is beautiful. Lovely look!
ReplyDeleteIts nice to take some me time Madison.
ReplyDeleteI love your summer layering because you doing it perfectly well.
With colour I just love every vibrant one as long as it not black or grey.
Have a great weekend whatever you do.
Loving this combo, Madison:) I'm partial to blue and yellow myself. Anyhoo, hope ur having a fab 4th of July:D
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that it is important to continue to live life (and not give it up to the blog!). I am really drawn to these colors--- very soothing!
ReplyDeleteMadison, you look beautiful in teal! All shades of blue are so in. Good for you in enjoying yourself. We all need to do that. I didn't post once this week and it felt good. LOL Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Madison you are totally right and you deserve a break and me too. Love the dress and the cardigan combo. I don't know about my favorite colours but I bought a lot of blue stuff lately. Wish you a happy and relaxed Friday!!!

It's good to take some time out for yourself every now and then, blogging can be quite time and energy consuming. Though my dear it's great to see you back! I love your look, the colour of your top is gorgeous and I love the petticoat, it looks so pretty peeking out the bottom of your paisley print dress. :)
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a wonderful weekend,

No sucking up to you Madison, but blue and yellow are two of my fave colours also! Hahaha. And purple/violet. I'm wearing my old yellow shoes from Miu Miu (super Harrods sale) now. Love that skirt you're wearing. Dainty and pretty. Can't wait to see what you've been sewing :) I agree with you, bloggers tend to sync their posting sched with other bloggers they read and follow. I'm guilty of that especially as I'm new. But I try not to post anything just for the sake of posting. Will look you up on instagram. Have a lovely weekend! Marj xx
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt, Madison - it's such an unusual piece, but absolutely lovely, too. Not something that's easy to pull off; I really can't picture myself in it, but you have a way of wearing things that are different so effortlessly. And that has been ery excited to hear that you're sewing again, because I can only imagine what wonderfully creative things you'll come up with!
ReplyDeletexox,

Lovely layering of the lace petticoat under the dress. I always enjoy your attention to detail in the way you put together your outfits.
ReplyDeleteThose are such good words of wisdom: not getting caught up on a posting schedule and just posting when you can. I often worry that if I don't get at least a post up a week, the world will explode or something, but I'm sure that wouldn't happen and that nobody would forget you. :) That happens to everyone, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteBut it's nice to see you back--and so stylish you are, too! I can't get over how cute that dress is. I especially love the petticoat underneath, ahh! <3 It almost takes you back in time a bit to the Victorian era. Too pretty!
My favorite summer color... oh, that's hard, but I'd have to go with a vibrant pink or fuchsia. :D
Layering is always cute when done well, no matter the season. And you always do it well. You look lovely in blue, which is my favorite color!
