Visible Monday #67: Hippie Revival, Last One

Welcome to Visible Monday #66! If you want to participate, it's so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the simple how-to.

Here is the last of the three cotton wrap skirts I found at the back of one of my dressers. (See the other two here and here.) This one is has a gorgeous cream design on a cocoa background. And pockets! Love pockets. I think I can style this all year round, even though it's cotton, with boots and tights and a chunkier top.

The tee here is a simple one by Coldwater Creek, thrifted for a few dollars. I'm wearing my White Mountain studded sandals (still plenty hot here in Florida), faux pearls and assorted bracelets. In the last pic, I'm showing the bright scarf/wrap I added for the office, where the air conditioning is set on Arctic. Visible yes, and must also remain defrosted at work  : >


I don't resemble the hippie of my youth anymore, but I do still love these
funky wrap skirts.


Pockets!


Colorful scarf was picked up at the street fair.

  4. A wrap skirt AND pockets. Does life get any better? Yep. I think you can work that baby all year round.  When do the boots usually make an appearance in Florida?

  9. Cotton maxi skirts are one of my weaknesses as I learned last summer when I practically lived in them.  Your wrap skirt today is so beautiful, the print is so vibrant and it has pockets YAY!!  Thank you for putting together another Visible Monday Patti, it's addictive! xoxo

  10. I love the color and pattern of that skirt!

  11. I know you said the skirt is cocoa colored but it looks burgundy. Does it have some red in it? 
    You styled that skirt just right - it doesn't look hippie at all!

  12. Love the pattern on the skirt. The colorful scarf is quite beautiful too! I'm battling frigid temps in classes. I could get away with some sleeves and bare legs most of the time, but they leave the aircon on until it's time to switch to heat.

  13. Dear Patti, this look is the perfect mix of ethereal beauty and steely strength - gorgeous! I especially love the drop-drag batik pattern on the skirt, which reminds me of Lithuanian Easter eggs as my mother made:

  17. patti, i love the color and the pattern of your maxi skirt! and i love how you mixed it with the colorful scarf. i remember in my youth a time i'm wearing only maxi skirts and maxi dresses, i thought my legs were too thin. these times passed long ago. you look fantastic in the hippie look!

    ReplyDelete

  18. This is the perfect skirt to transition to fall!!  I can see it with boots and a sweater, or tights and a jacket.  I know you'll style it flawlessly.  This is a great outfit already and there's more to come, right?!  Enjoy.

  25. This outfit is one of my fave of yours - love the red and white on you. That is a terrific skirt; anything with pockets gets extra points in my closet :)

    Thanks for hosting Visible Monday; I always enjoy seeing everyone together, and often discover new blogs to follow.

  26. Fab hippy chick and the added pockets make it extra fabulous! How lovely to still be bare-legged in October  I'm wearing leggings and knee high socks under my maxi today! x

    ReplyDelete

  27. That skirt is a great transitional piece.  I can picture it with some riding boots and a sweater later in the season.  Well, maybe not in Florida! 

    So happy to have found you on Visible Monday.  I love what you stand for.

  30. I love the wrap skirt, the print and pockets make it extra special!
    I am linking up today, Patti, first time, woo hoo! xx

    ReplyDelete

  31. I love it!! you are so right you can "winterize" the skirt!! Love it with the orange scarf!

    ReplyDelete

  32. Patti, what a pretty skirt. It does look very versatile for both work and at home. I can see it with a denim jacket for a great casual look.

    Did the kitty desert you today? I looked for him!

    ReplyDelete

  33. Yes, I do love that skirt and the prints. :) And that scarf as well. You always look lovely. And you can totally wear that this cold season with boots and tights to keep you warm. :)

    ReplyDelete

  34. I also love pockets, and as for the words, "still plenty hot here" well, that sounds WONDERFUL! (You can see what the weather is with me from the clothes that I'm wearing today!)

    The pattern on your skirt looks rather Japanese, like stylized chrysanthemums, and very nice with the simple top and necklace.

    ReplyDelete

  35. What a fun skirt to wear! Love it!

    ReplyDelete

  36. That is a gorgeous skirt and you definitely look more classic than hippie!

    ReplyDelete

  37. Skirts with pockets are simply the best.  I've never seen a maxi skirt with pockets, though.  That sure is some great find from the depths of your dresser drawers :)

  38. Love those printed "hippie" skirts. And you indeed must keep warm for the ac so why not with that juicy delicious oj scarf? Lovely, Patti. 

    ReplyDelete

  39. Great fall colors! I'm digging the studded sandals too! I like how you mixed white with the fall colors. It's very fresh.

    ReplyDelete

  40. You look lovely and summery, and the print on the skirt is just right for a wrap style. I'm jealous of your being able to wear sandals, it is chilly in the UK now :-)

    ReplyDelete

  41. Love that skirt! Any skirt that has pockets is awesome! ;)
    And while I adore living in the South, I will never understand why we find it necessary to air condition the daylights out of every living thing. Really. ;) Thankfully, we are actually into fall here, so the a/c's have been turned off. :)

  42. love this skirt and also your blog! It's so nice!!! I follow
    you!

    Happy Monday, and thanks for hosting!

  50. You have to be the most stylish hippie I've seen! The skirt is lovely, and very versatile. I love your sandals, and know it'll look great with your boots too.

  51. Your pearls are a unexpected and delicious touch to this hippy-style wraparound skirt. I just looove wraparounds too. And the scarf in that shade adds such great zest. You really have a great eye. Why, oh why, are offices so cold?!
