* Upside Down, Boy you Turn Me, Inside Out *


Vintage Anthony Richards   dress with brown accessories


What I'm Wearing ...kind of boring really. But classic and easy.
* Vintage Anthony Richards navy shirt dress with bright red and white leaves ...or birds. I can't actually tell. But I scored this dress {which admittedly is a little big, but I don't care} at a neighbor's garage sale about a month ago ...yeah, she's over 60 so I'm pretty positive she's had this polyester gem since the 70's.
* White Victoria's Secret open cardigan ...I safety pinned the front/bottom behind me so it would stay put all day because it was a bit heavy on the sides. Worked like a charm.
* Asos leather boyfriend belt swirled and tucked
* Vintage gold sea horse necklace from the 50's ...also seen here & gold D&G watch
* Miu Miu platforms
* Gucci cat eye stripe sunglasses ...original post here
* Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 ...my go-to. Always great to have an easy classic that's always stylish ...with a vintage rabbit's foot charm ;)

* Title: lyrics from Diana Ross "Upside Down" ...one of the best songs ever. Please check out her dress & dance moves. She churns that butter better than any. ...1981. Brilliance. Michael Jackson makes an appearance onstage with her too.

This is the first weekend in so many that actually felt like a weekend. It was long ...and consisted of a nice combo of productivity, fun, and relaxation.

Ya know those projects you put off and off and you look at them almost daily and think when am I ever going to get around to doing that? And then the day comes that you just randomly do it. I spent a few hours on Sunday walking around the house with a little container of paint and a small paintbrush, touching up all the baseboards and doorways and anywhere I saw a bit of chipped paint. Yes, I am a perfectionist. However, why on earth can't a landlord paint a rental property with a primer before painting the walls white? Especially when painting over a gloss on doorways and cupboards? A strong gust of wind could come through and whisk the paint off! There have been certain areas that have been driving me insane since, let's just say, last Halloween when a certain fake vinyl bloody handprint peeled a nice chunk of paint off the coat closet ...the first thing you see when you walk in our door. Yes, I'm a maniac, but I'm so happy I actually finally fixed it. I also relocated 2 trees in our front yard that haven't been doing so well. Fingers crossed that they like their new homes and leaf-up!

Healthy and Homemade said...

Great outfit Maegan, easy and perfect for summer.

How do you keep the leather on your Speedy so light? It doesn't look like it has any patina and you've had it a while. The vachetta on mine is so dark, but it's vintage! =P

Lia said...

So beautiful as usual! I love the whole look, the Miu Miu platforms go so well with the dress, great job styling!

Mannequins Lyon said...

Wow amazing outfit! She is so creative! Colorful outfit! I love the way you paint it, awesome. I love the whole look. Amazing photo! She has such an angelic face. They should all have pockets inside front and back with zippers. I do not want a divided Tote which tends to reduce space and restrict access to items. Thanks for sharing with us.

You seem to get so much done. I know you said you have a lot of projects unfinished, and ideas....but how do you keep track/stay organized?

I'm having the worst time w/ this. You're so creative and get so much done, it's amazing.

Would love to see a post on how you do it.

You look gorgeous, as usual. :)
