Scouting Style









Something about this little scarf makes me feel like a girl scout, but though I am wearing khaki here and have a yellow silk kerchief, I have not been an actual girl scout in a very long time.

Instead this outfit is more inspired by the ensembles worn by Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner in the film Mogambo from 1953. I have worn very similar adventure or safari inspired outfits here on the blog before, as they are a summertime staple for me. This time I paired my trusty Banana Republic safari shirt with my newer olive green cotton sateen circle skirt that I made earlier in the year. Finished with cognac leather accessories, I was ready to face the great outdoors! I'm only kidding. A paved path was easily navigable in my favorite Bait high heeled sandals ;) I am more of a city girl as we could probably guess from my propensity for heels right?

It's back to more sedentary adventures for me, as I have a lot of work to do this upcoming weekend! I love my work though, nothing is better than writing and editing, though I do have some sewing to finish as I actually cut out a dress last week! I have been so lax in my sewing this year. Shall we call it quality over quantity? Sure, yeah...let's go with that.

Shirt: Banana Republic
Skirt: Made by me
Belt: Target
Shoes: Bait Footwear
Clutch, Earrings, Scarves: Vintage

  2. I've seen people climb a mountain heels. I don't know if they were brave or foolish, but I have seen it done. Regardless, I love this look and that clutch is amazing. I need one in my life.

  4. you look lovely!! i'm a big fan of the safari style! Sad that summer is leaving, but i'm excited to see your fall looks. Garden of the Gods makes a great backdrop for your look in this post-- if you come take a visit down to the Springs/manitou area again, I highly recommend checking out our castles! Glen Eyrie is beautiful and a fabulous place to take tea, and the Mirimont Castle is beautiful with a fascinating history; i think you'd enjoy seeing them!

    1. Thank you! I have sorta been to Glen Eyrie, I've seen the outside, but the owners are super strict about photos around the castle so I didn't stay long. I haven't heard of the Mirimont castle so I'll have to look it up!
