OOTD (Gold and Earthy Tones)

This outfif was inspired by the last issue of Harper's Bazaar (that I have just finished "reading") that not only featured the JCrew metallic beach cardigan in metallic camel, but also made the fashion statement that earthy tones are "in" this summer. I was already wearing the scout chinos, golden belt and irish moss tee this morning (and actually I was freezing because it is much colder than yesterday and what the gorgeous shining sun that we are having today would let you think), so I added the metallic beach cardigan that I bought a long time ago and was already half-forgotten in my closet:





I love how this outfit turned out, even if I am not sure that I am actually going outside like this this afternoon as I am taking my daughter to yet another birthday party with danger of chocolate cake ending up on my cardigan.

Thanks to all your comments on the midnight swiss-dot shift dress I have decided to return it and wait for it to go on sale: it is definitively too expensive for what it is and the wear that I am going to get out of it. By the way, I am wondering if "someone" is reading this blog, as the day after I published the post, the dress was back in the right place (under the women's dresses section) on the website...

Have a great weekend everyone!
