High-Waisted: EBEW Florals

I'm super happy with this look that came together. I wore this to a Celebration of Life and a Cookie Lee Team Meeting. I hadn't thought of layering a skirt over a dress before now, but it worked! It also qualifies for entry into the Everybody, Everywear Floral challenge.

Here's the math of it all: Black Dress + Black/Pink/White Bold Floral Skirt + Dark Grey Sweater + Cookie Lee Jewelery + Strappy Heels =  This!

What do you think?

Nemo has a "Nemo fin", and Yes, I have a "Nemo toe."

I love the sheer and sequin detailing on this short sleeved cardi. This was a fantastic find while thrifting.

In front of a vacant storefront downtown. I love the old time feel our small town still has.

I feel pretty, oh so pretty!

A high contrast edit of this photo brought out the colors and textures of this otherwise washed out pic.
