Have A Twist on the Usual Day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Ever since I was little, this day has been special to me because of my Irish heritage. I can't recall a single St. Paddy's Day that I haven't worn green on. So you can bet I was wearing green today! Buuuuuuuut, before we get ahead of ourselves, it's time to see what I wore Wednesday.

 

Striped Bow Top - Worthington via JCPenney; Abstract Floral Print Skirt - Old Navy; Suede Bow Embellished Heels - Mix No. 6 - DSW

I've had this shirt for a few weeks, since I went to JCPenney, and it was time to wear it. I decided to pair it with a skirt, as the tee-skirt combo is an old standby that never fails for me. But it was a little bit of a twist, since the top is cut like a tee-shirt but is a polyester blend so it's got some stretch and bounce to it. Plus there is a ruching detail at the bottom hem on the sides. Then I realized that I had also put a twist on a new standby - florals and stripes. The skirt is a more abstract floral print than other florals I tend to wear and the top does in fact showcase some stripes, in the form of a bow design. How perfect! Of course, to go with the bow design, I had to wear my suede cut-out heels with the big bow accents. And a purple pair of fishnets went perfectly with the purple hints in the skirt. I finished it off with some basic accessories complimenting the colors in the outfit. A very nice ensemble, I must say! :)
