As I type these words, it is through a haze of travel-day-tired and O M G why am I trying to get a post-up-tonight craziness. I got back from a wonderful time in Tulum Mexico just hours ago, and I have the dozen mosquito bites to prove it! (I am a magnet!)
So, no, this will not be a loquacious post as I am about to fall asleep here at the keyboard. Still, I wanted to get one outfit up tonight for you all as I resume my more usual schedule again this week. Once I knew I'd be traveling to Mexico I took it as a great excuse to buy this amazing vintage hand painted Mexican tourist skirt. I have always envied such fun circle skirts on other vintage gals and snapped this one up as it had cute cranes and lama/donkey/? creatures in the design. The more muted metallic colors suit my own style perfectly, and for a humid day in Tulum I paired the skirt with a simple black knit top and large gold filigree earrings for ultimate ease.
Now really I have to get to bed as I have to get back to work in the morning, but I'll have more from Tulum for you all soon!

What an amazing skirt. Somehow it reminds me of a peacock when you hold it out! Glad you had a good time! Kx
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a lucky find for sure!
DeleteOMG, but I love that skirt. I'm totally envious here and already thinking how to find a knock-off :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Katha! One could presumably paint something similar on a plain black circle skirt, I may have to do a DIY sometime :)
DeleteHow absolutely stunning! That skirt is a real treasure, and I love how you've let it sing by pairing it with neutral pieces. I hope your trip to Tulum was as wonderful as these photos make it look!

Thank you Jessica! It was a great trip indeed :)
DeleteLooking holiday heavenly - what a skirt! I hope you had a lovely time and aren't having the post-holiday blues x
ReplyDeleteThank you Porcelina! I got back the night before the election here, so post holiday blues were different but much worse then simply missing the beach!
DeleteWhat a beautiful skirt for a beautiful country! Some enterprising Mexican people should start making them again, I bet they'd be popular.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mim! It was incredibly beautiful indeed, and everyone was so kind and helpful! Someone should definitely still make these, I would have bought half a dozen I fear ;)
DeleteThat skirt is BRILLIANT!!! Such beautiful craftsmanship on the pattern, what a find and of course the most perfect match for the location :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Harlow! I need to see if a similar effect could be created with stencils or something for a future DIY :)
DeleteThat is a great excuse to buy such a lovely skirt! :)
