CHAMBRAY AND POLKA DOTS
I’ll just be honest and tell you upfront that this is not one of my favorite outfits. In fact, I almost didn’t post the outfit at all, but I decided to let you be the judge. This reminds me of chicken and dumplings. I like all the ingredients, just not the end product. Haha
My son Joseph called me this afternoon and asked if I could do a little babysitting for little Miss Emersyn. It took me all of 1/2 a second before I said, “of course I can.” I knew that I was out of food since I had been gone two weekends in a row, so I made a quick trip to the grocery store. While I was there I bought two of the little pumpkins, just Emersyn’s size. When she came over I got out the permanent markers in several different colors, and let her proceed to draw. She had a blast, and I love her sweet little markings.
The chambray button up shirt is one that I wore a couple weeks ago, see here, but today I dressed it up just a little. I don’t know about you, but I usually associate denim with jeans, and that equals casual. However, I wore this outfit to church and did not feel casual at all. This shirt is from Old Navy and is in the medium color.
The necklace I have on is called the Olivia. I have it worn in the short version, but you can go here to see the longer version. This is a gorgeous piece that is a combination of small and large pearls. Worn short it just fits inside my collar.
The angle of the camera made my skirt look longer than it was. The camera was looking down, so the skirt looks really long. The shoes I have on are a pair that the ladies from Southwestern District bought me as a going out of office gift. These suede shoes are by G.I.L.I.
This red polka dot skirt is one that I have had for awhile. I channel Minnie Mouse when I wear this skirt. Lol! I should have put me on a black mouse ear headband and see if anyone noticed.
I know you gurls love this purse, and so do I. But it is just one I picked up from a vendor in town, and there is no name inside.
You can see the concentration my little “leftie” is using. She loved coloring the two pumpkins. When it came time to go home, she insisted on taking BOTH pumpkins home with her. Kayla tried to talk her into leaving one for my porch, but Emersyn said I could just look at her porch if I wanted to see them. Lol!

I love the shirt and the skirt on you, but for me I don’t think so. I don’t wear anything tucked in because my middle is too big! lol I would love to see a post on how to wear a skirt without tucking the top in. Also, your idea with having your granddaughter color on the pumpkins is great! I also have a 2 year old granddaughter and I think I’ll have her do the same thing. I love everything about your blog and have gathered a lot of good ideas. Thank you and keep them coming!
Love this look, Tania. The colors are so pretty! Perfect fall outfit. – Amy

Not loving it I’m afraid. Perhaps if the skirt was a knee length pencil skirt?

I think its has caused a lot of conversation, which is why you do the blog. I thought a belt also, but you look great in anything. Keep them coming.
This outfit isn’t you Tania. Please do not take it personal. I love your blog.
Hey Tania! You “missed it by thaaaaat much.” The only thing amiss is that the skirt is too long. It would be fantastic if you just brought up the hem. I suspect it’s way too long for you to wear for other occasions too, so maybe it’s time to send it for alterations. The outfit would be a #1 winner when altered!
THIS OUTFIT IS ONE THAT “”GROWS”” ON YOU..THE MORE I LOOKED AT IT, THE BETTER I LIKED IT……
When I first looked at the photos I though no, not together. But after scrolling through the other pictures, not so bad. The best thing though is the shoes!
Hi Tania-love the red skirt & shoes together. But not with that shirt. The shirt looks too heavy to be tucked in. I do like the shirt too, just not with that skirt. But you still look nice!
Seriously, does chambray not got with everything??? 🙂 Looking fabulous as always!
