Pretty much the only time all day I took the cardigan off was when I went for a quick walk in the sunshine on an afternoon break and when I took these pictures. My office is so cold I suspect I’ll be wearing cardigans all summer.
Some people were not on board with the pattern mixing today. I wish you could see the details of how the earrings and the shoes looked a little better in the full outfit pictures. I wasn’t sure at first but in the end I really liked it. I’m going to treat snakeskin as a neutral for a while and see if it works as often as I think it might.
I was worried when I ordered these shoes that the zipper at the heel would be irritating. But they put a little patch of suede in there to keep it from rubbing your foot. Genius!
One more shot of them, not in the grass so you can see them better. Even though the shots in the grass are prettier!
Love Love Love these earrings.
They are Goth enough to be fun, but not too over the top for the office (well, MY office) or my age. Lucinda would hate them. XOXO

Wait, snakeskin isn't a neutral? Dack!
I think you have just sold me on the Gladiator sandals trend. I haven't seen any that I thought were pretty until now.
I know a guy who would love your earrings LOL!
Your layered looks are so pretty yet comfortable :)
A zipper? Genius! The difficulty (real or perceived) of getting in and out of gladiator style sandals is a big turn off for me, but the look has grown on me tremendously over the last few months.
Again, I like the snakeskin with the floral- your shoes are so far away from the dress anyway. It might not be a combo that would work on everybody, but you are pulling it off!
I think this color of snakeskin definitely counts as a neutral. It complements your dress quite well.
And I agree about the zipper. I hate having to buckle into shoes, but if I could just zip into them, I'm sold. I wonder if VS makes them for big ankles...
Those sandals are faaantastic! I agree-- I've never been a huge fan of the gladiators, but those are absolutely gorgeous!

the snakeskin is totally a neutral. although I might not be the right person to ask. :)
Looking fresh and summery.
Another dangerous jewellery shop recommendation! Damn you! I got my stuff from Ruche the other day and it's lovely, but dang that cuff scratches the inside of my wrist. Won't stop me, though.
I will never ever ever ever be sold on gladiators. I don't like how flat they are and I cannot cope with exposing that much of my feet. Those are a nice pair though.
Pip pip!
Cute dress...love the snakeskin gladiators!....my office is always freezing i need a cover up all summer long in here
They are very nice shoes!
It made me very sad that there wasn't a post from you yesterday. I'm an addict. Gimme more! LOL
I've tagged you for a blog award: http://tminustplus.blogspot.com/2009/05/thank-you.html
That is the most adorable dress! I love that tiered style. And I'm crazy about those sandals! I just got a pair with a similar zipper-back ... so much easier to put on and take off. I also like how you paired the goth-y earrings with this. Kewl!
Missing your posts :(
