Green, blue and red

Hello lovely ladies, is anyone else excited about Friday? I will finally get some time to rest and maybe I can manage to sleep late on Saturday...but I'm not counting on it, after 7 years my brain is set to wake up at 6:00 a.m. everyday, 7:00 the latest though I can make myself stay in bed till 8:30 a.m. This is what I wore today, it's getting very hot outside but thankfully it wasn't very windy.
Tip: If anyone is making this skirt (McCalls 5811) I would suggest letting it hang a few days like the instructions state, I was so eager to finish the skirt I only let it hang for a day and after hanging in my closet for a couple of days the fabric has stretched and there is one place in the back that is now uneven. Reminder to myself: Follow directions and don't use hem tape (which I did, woops!).

Wearing:
Thrifted: Loft Cardigan, Vintage shirt, belt & pin
Self made: Skirt (McCalls 5811)
Shoes: Dillards (at 70% off = $26)

The anchor skirt is really cute, I love the pairing of navy and kelly green!

Your maritime skirt is so awesome! I love it with the white shirt - and as I'm just discovering the possibilities of mixing blue and green at the moment, the combination with the cardigan is quite inspiring! I just found a blue skirt on ebay lately and now I feel like wearing it with a green shirt or cardigan :-)
