As All Get Out

When in Toronto on Saturday, I bought two dolman sleeve tops (one black and one white) at American Apparel and I smell a bit of a wardrobe revolution coming on. They're perfectly slouchy for a slob like me who can't stand tight shirts yet still look kind of classy.

Yep, nothing says lazy sunday like my dolman sleeves, my drapey vest, yoga pants and Birkenstocks.

I've never taken a proper picture of what this vest looks like from the back which is pretty much a sacrilege, so here you go.

This is today's outfit with the black dolman sleeve top. I adore these shirts.

These thrifted lace-up sandals are destined to become my "Summer of 2009" pair of shoes, meaning I wear them as often as possible whenever appropriate. And if I may just reiterate... $3.50!!

I absolutely love both outfits; they're so different from each other, yet they work for you.

I loved your comment about the shoes being rubber on Style Bubble. I never would have thought of that.

I like the pattern and color of your skirt. I might have to snatch me up one of those shirts, they look like a summer essential.

Hey Hipster,

I was told today at my workplace I have the legs to rock a summer skirt. It was flattering. I might need to borrow that blue poncho-like skirt get up for my next team meeting. Dress to impress, ya'heard? You are uber-fierce.

I really like both outfits. I'm going to have to check for one of those shirts next time I'm near an AA!

those shirts are great. i have one in eggplant! what i also like, and this may be a bit gross/TMI but when i wear them to dance parties and everybody is sweating, you cant tell in these tops! b/c they arent anywhere close to your underarms.

I have one of those shirts too...I let Jay pick the color and he picked purple. I would have chosen black but it is my favorite shirt...I might go back and get it in a few more colors.

YAY it arrived! I wasn't sure if you'll dig the tights but glad you liked everything! and kleenix is totally amazing, I think play them way more than is healthy.
