Visible Monday #57: A Lazy, Lacy Look

Welcome to Visible Monday #57! If you want to participate, it's so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the simple how-to.

This is one simple outfit, my Visible friends. I paired an ivory lace batwing blouse with my perma-pleated knit maxi skirt, and done! I'm wearing my twisty fork bracelet and a wooden bangle I just picked up. No other accessories, as the temperatures continue to hover in the mid-90s, and simple is best.


Lace blouse: Democracy; Knit skirt: Willow and Clay;
Sandals: Kenneth Cole Reaction


I look a bit shiny today - I will blame the sunscreen  : >


Now, let's see what you're wearing, Visible Women!!

The guidelines to participate in the Visible Monday Link-Up are so simple!
  1. Whoever wants to can join in! Just compose a post that includes any outfit, accessory, piece of jewelry, hairstyle, cosmetic or other adornment that makes you feel more confident, alive and visible that day.
