OK, I'm cheating a little bit here in using this photo because the full outfit is actually a sweater dress with a top layered underneath. Still, I thought this was a nice inspiration photo for my cardigan vest.

To get a bit of that drapeneck feel (and because I have been looking for new ways to wear this shirt), I've paired it with a paisley knit top and a somewhat less dramatic (but still eye-catching) necklace. Plus these shoes that made one of my co-worker's say "I want shoes that color! That's so fun!" (She's a remarkably cheerful and happy person but still, I'll take it.)
Cream cardigan vest (JCP), $7.82/wear
Green/blue paisley drapeneck knit top (JNY/Macy's), $6.25/wear
Hammered silver necklace (JNY), $2.40/wear
Black zip front casual skirt (thrifted, Target), $2.50/wear
Bright teal flats (Payless), $1.08/wear
Outfit total: $20.05/wear
A simple black skirt and some bright flats round things out. There is a bit of that compensatory dressing action going with chunky sweater + bare legs but it worked.
Check out this pretty tree from our state park visit--I'm loving the drapey, droopy new growth. It's like the spring counterpart to icicles/tinsel!
In other news...I could have walked home this evening faster than I drove because somehow reducing the major street that I have to take to get to my apartment from 2 lanes to 1 lane means that traffic speed is reduced from 50+ mph to less than 3 mph.
OK, I looked it up to see what's going on and found out that it's a county project. Here's what they say about it: "Pedestrian curb ramp work is scheduled for May-June 2016 and will last approximately 2-3 weeks to complete. Resurfacing work is scheduled for July-September 2016 and will take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete."
Yep, winter is over. Welcome to construction season.
