A Touch of Lace

If you are scared of ants, then the old movie The Naked Jungle is NOT for you. However if nasty ol' army ants don't bother you at all, I suggest you watch it. It's a classic, and it's also where I got my outfit inspiration for today. I realize I don't have Eleanor Parker's tiny waist or her cute hat, and I didn't even bother to try to match that stoic expression, but I have to work with what I've got! This shirt with the touch of lace at the sleeves is the only lace I have in my closet (well actually I have the same shirt in emerald green, but that's besides the point.) Consequently it's what I chose for today's Everybody, Everywear challenge.

    I had that top too! I like your color much better, I ditched my pink one a while back. Lovely post!~

    Thank you! How funny, I had it in pink and ditched it also!! I also cut the bows off the sleeves of this one, it was a little too busy for me.

    I haven't quite figured out how to mix more neutral colors like this, yet. I think I'm gonna have a go at it tomorrow. You look lovely and the shirt has the perfect amount of lace!

    Thank you so much ladies!
    You're so sweet Sophie! It just happened to be a day where my hair half-way behaved! It hasn't been cut in ages and is getting a little out of control!
    Sarah I need to learn how to wear more colors now! One of these days I want to try some colorblocking.

    I'd say you DO have a tiny little waist! I can see the inspiration and you look lovely.
