All American Apples

For some reason, this outfit struck a few people's fancy and I received several compliments on it. I felt down home with a chambray shirt, denim minnies and the Tippi sweater in orchard print. Love the sweet print of tiny apples that look like polka dots. And everything rorange calls for the Mona patent pumps in poppy. Here's another pic:
You might recognize it as an IRL from this PV set. Per the set, worn with the Gondola stripe coat.
And all buttoned up:
Not that I'd likely wear it that way.
I think not; it makes me want to salute.
And now I know what it is about this coat!
I look like a giant flag in it.
Appropriate for Memorial Day coming up.
But still ... I will leave the coat open.

Who'd think it would be chilly and grey in SoCal right now?!
As in chilly enough for this coat?
I hope it's nice where you are,
and y'all have a good Memorial Day weekend!

  1. I love this outfit. The sweater is perfect with the denim Minnie and those shoes!
    The coat is so fabulous, one of the nicest things J Crew did this year.

  2. Such a cute outfit! It is chilly here in the Bay Area. I've worn the coat (unbuttoned) 2 days in a row and have gotten lots of compliments. I agree that all done up, it is a lot of look. But - you'll never look like a "giant" anything :-)

    1. LOL, Julie. Good point!

      In the Bay Area, you'll get a LOT of use out of this coat and I'd bet many would like to be as stylish as you!

    1. We got a bit of that winter invasion here the past two days. It's back to picture perfect, thank goodness. The denims are the J.Crew denim minnie pant from Spring 2010. I wish it would be brought back, they are a dressier denim I can get away wearing to work.

  4. The apple print Tippi is definitely a crowd pleaser. The gondola looks great on you.

    1. Hi WFF! Thanks! The Tippi sweaters are great and the apple print makes me smile. I almost always use the exact item image in my polyvore sets and these are the J.Crew denim minnie pant from a couple years back. They have a fantastic fit.
