Pantone Challenge - Linen Thursday

The day started with me waiting for my pants to get washed and dried before I could get dressed.  During which time I silently prayed that I would be able to fit them after they came out of the dryer.  Also during which time I reveled in my first guest posting experience while letting my children eat chocolate chips in their underwear.  By the time that was done, I had 4.5 seconds to get dressed and herd the kids out the door and get to work.  But I felt great, because the piece I chose for the Pantone-inspired spring colour challenge for Linen Thursday is so pretty and perfect...
H&M lace top, gift from my sister
Originally $5 from Goodwill with tags on!
 Paired with She Does Create necklace 
Earrings and bracelet from my closet.

After work, I went frog hunting.  Doesn't everyone?
Proving that frog hunting and linen-coloured lace DO mix.

Then I went shopping at VV Boutique because I would hate to see one of my filled stamp cards go to waste. 
 
Ann Taylor cargos $6 VV Boutique

I liked the neutral colour palate with a subtle pop of colour in the necklace.  I liked the juxtaposition of the lace with the cargos.  I loved this ensemble, and proudly told the sales associate at Value Village that I was wearing a second-hand outfit then handed her my card after explaining what a blog is.  Great day all round!

    I'm basically wearing the same exact outfit today and will be posting a version of it for Linen day (at some point this weekend)! Great minds think alike. I like your version better, though. I want that top and those cargos!!

      Well I'm honoured to be in the category of great minds with you! I love your "Dressed by..." series! (but afraid I'd only get my daughter offering) I will look forward to seeing your version!
