I’m sort of iffy about this outfit. I love this skirt, but haven’t worn it in over two years. I had it altered when I lived in Jamaica and the seamstress was a little too enthusiastic with the waist darts. I finally overcame my sewing inertia and pulled out my trusty seam ripper. Newly expanded skirt in hand, I started trying blouses on. It was insanely hot, so I didn’t want to layer much, but the blouse I’m wearing as an outer layer is a little too sheer for work. I tried a number of things under it, but wasn’t really happy with any of them. I ended up with a white t-shirt and this white ruffle front blouse as a sort of cardi. Belting it didn’t work at all. I thought it was too much white on top, but by this time I really HAD to leave for work.
Suggestions for improvement? I tried a couple of scarves, but wasn’t feeling that either.
Ping Pong insisted on being in the picture, but I wish he would at least show his better side!

As Polonius counsels his son Laertes in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, so strive I:
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man, (1.3.70-73)
Actually, that’s not entirely true. I do, at times, express myself in the fancy, rich AND gaudy, and I accept what that may proclaim 
What about wearing a shirt similar to the previous day’s, but in a cotton-type material with a belt? Your hair looks great this way.
