clothing swap conundrum

good morning! happy THURSDAY! i can't believe how quickly this week has gone by. i am FINALLY feeling better, my body no longer rocked by lung-collapsing coughs or plagued by nose-killing sniffles (although i'd gotten very good at seeing the silver lining every time i had a coughing fit - "at least this is working my abs!")

a few weeks ago, when i wore this, i got a comment from the lovely hannah of heart city vintage letting me know that, in case i ever decided to sell the dress, she'd gladly take it off my hands. i'm not quite ready to part with it permanently, but i suggested a clothing swap instead, and she gladly accepted.

this skirt was part of the adorable package she sent me - this and a gorgeous vintage sheer blue top that i am still trying to figure out how to style. i'd been waiting for a warm enough day to wear it bare-legged, but it seems that day may never come, so here it is.

combo1

top: thrifted
2 strands of beads: thrifted
belt: thrifted
skirt: swapped with hannah
tights: man on the street
shoes: thrifted

or at least, this is how i wore it at first. i was getting ready to walk out the door and caught a glimpse in the mirror and something about it just seemed OFF to me, so i spazzed out and changed. sort of.

combo2

top: c/o lilla p
scarf: thrifted
belt: asos
skirt: swapped with hannah
tights: man on street
shoes: thrifted

now, looking at them both, i'm not sure which looks less crazy. what do you think?

ps. happy cinco de mayo, everyone!! tory burch featured my coconut flan recipe on her blog today. it's super delicious. it once got me a job at a four star restaurant. true story.

pps. on yesterday's post i asked if anyone had bridesmaid gift ideas, and i'd still love to hear them! i guess naming a post "health food" is a good way to get people to skip it. i know i would.
