Mum's the word

This outfit came together in my mind, last week or so, while we were stuck in a stretch of cold, rainy days. We've been precipitation-free for a few days now, but the thing is I really wanted to wear these wedges one last time sans tights. That meant waiting and hoping that even though it's October the temperatures would comply with my sartorial whims. And comply they did. I took full advantage of today's climbing temperatures and disregarded stockings of any kind.

This dress used to be my mother's and was among a few items (mostly maxi skirts; exhibit a and exhibit b) that she handed down to me a few years back. Oddly enough, I have no recollection of her wearing these and only remember seeing them in her closet. For whatever reason, when I think back to my childhood she is forever wearing a khaki maxi skirt with either a fuchsia t-shirt or a dark green silk button-down. The brain is a strange, strange thing.
