Sunday Best: Dear Watson

Hello everyone, hope all of you are staying away from all the pollen that comes along with Spring, this year the sinus infection caught me by surprise, I thought it was a mere cold but last night I had to make a quick trip to the doctor to get my steroids shot and some antibiotics, I'm feeling better after the shot but the noise makes my head pound so I'm staying home to get some rest.
Today's outfit started with this vest I thrifted Friday, I love men inspired looks but I still wanted to keep it feminine so I went for my full skirt. I also dyed my roots last night and I must say I did a pretty good job, saved me $45 bucks. With this outfit I feel like I could help out Mr. Holmes solve any mystery.

Outfit Details:
Shirt: thrifted
Vest: thrifted
Belt: thrifted
Skirt: thrifted and shortened by me
Shoes: TJ Maxx /old
Watch: vintage

You could definitely solve a mystery in that!
I am so excited to dye my hair this week! I got that new foam stuff. I can hardly wait. The drips make me stress out so this should be good!

The skirt is totally gorgeous, and the combination of white shirt and black vest is such a classic one. Though the upper and lower part of the outfit are very different in style, they work amazingly well together. I like that contrast a lot!

I hope you'll feel better soon!

I like your outfit today. That's a great vest and it looks good with your skirt. I've been wanting to find a similar vest. I may have to break down and make one.

Pollen has been driving me crazy too. It's so bad that I keep thinking I've gotten a cold. Hopefully the new medicine I'm trying will help. I hope yours clears up as well.

I love the vest! I'm reading the adventures of Sherlock Holmes right now actually, and your look does remind me of Holmes' sidekick. Well done, my dear Watson.

Very pretty outfit, Shey! I've been looking for a nice vest for ages now. For some reason I can't seem to find one that's just right. Yours is super pretty, and I love the combination of masculine/feminine!

I am so sick and tired of the cold and snow in our neck of the woods. This is horrible of me, but I think I'd take the switch to pollen right about now... (and then I'd probably regret it two minutes later...) Hope you feel better!

Gorgeous! I love men's wear looks, but I find that usually the cuts of men's wear inspired pieces fight my body. I love these looks on other people though. I'm so jealous of your look.

I love this outfit! You have totally inspired me to give a vest and a full skirt a try!
