Sunday Best: Yellow, black & purple

Last night I was thinking about what to wear to church, this outfit came to mind because I've had this skirt for months and I had not worn it yet. I bought it before I left to Mexico, it used to be a bit tight on the waist but for the last 3 weeks I've been training to run 10 K and I've lost some body fat the scale is still on the same number but now my skirt fits just perfect and I feel a lot stronger. This is what I wore to church today.
My friend who retired gave me this mechanical watch, it belonged to her granny. It didn't work but when I went to Mexico I took it with me and got it repaired for $23 dollars. It's beautiful, the stones are deep emerald but the flash made them faint green.
Top: vintage/ dyed my me
Belt: vintage /thrifted
Skirt: ModCloth
Shoes: Vintage/ thrifted
Necklace: garage sale
Mechanical watch: vintage/ gift from my friend

Shey said...

hehehe thank you ladies and thank you Melissa, if there is something I don't have is a tiny waist it's just the illusion of the clothes but I'm glad it looks like I do have a waistline. =D

Congrats Shey, that's a really big race your training for! I can't wait to read all about it once you complete it!

Yay for the vintage yellow blouse and those purple suede pumps I'm still jealous of. That's a very pretty watch and a great piece to cherish forever!
