WhatIWore: Here’s what I wore for our last day in Florida. I made the top last year but this year updated the sleeves with some teeny tiny pom pom trim. It seems like tassels and poms are all the rage, so I actually bought a bunch and have plans to sew them to different pieces in my closet to get them a fresh look. I recently saw a similar sewing pattern from McCall and there are similar versions all over (see ‘Shop the Look’ below) 

When: March 17, 2017

What:
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’
Blouse: Self Made (similar styles here)
Belt: Vintage (similar vintage styles here)
3.5″ Black Shorts: Old Navy
Sandals: Rockport

Where: Anna Maria Island, FL

A white eyelet top can go with almost any kind of bottom, but I went with black shorts so I could show off this vintage colorful belt. I’m really glad I packed it - especially after I went to the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Dalí museum in St. Pete! I am so inspired by her (I’ve dressed up as her here and here) and I’ve enjoyed reading some of her letters with photographer and lover Nick Muray) in a book I picked up in the gift shop. That  In fact - if anyone has read a good biography of her life and wants to recommend a title - please let me know!
