What a beautiful necklace! I just have to enter. Hope the lucky one would be me :)
ReplyDeleteAs always you look gorgeous. Love your animal print skirt.
Thanks Olga, I think you would look so good in this necklace. It will be fun to see who gets it.
DeleteLove the colouring in the first shot, sort of sunset meets Mexican fiesta!
ReplyDeleteI am so partial to a bit of leopard print, just wish I had the bum to get away with that pencil skirt.
Very stylish.
Love the leaf necklace!

Thanks Di. Ann Taylor has a pretty coat in the same fabric. The design is simple and classic, I would like to get this too.
DeleteLove that necklace! The silhouette of your oufit and the pattern of your skirt are gorgeous. You always pick such interesting locations and backdrops. It must be as fun to scout locations as it is to shop for your wardrobe. Thanks so much for the sartorial inspiration. Cheers, Sheridan
ReplyDeleteIt is just as much fun to think about the background as the clothing. I'm glad you are enjoy them. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteOrange and yellow backdrop for a perfect brown ensemble.
ReplyDeleteYou are sooooooooooo unique, dear Ann.

very pretty, love all your photos
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous necklace. I also love your patterned skirt!
ReplyDeleteThe necklace isn't really me, but I want to comment on your skirt - it looks like floral leopard! Great print, and it's a fantastic combination with that blouse.
ReplyDeleteThanks Val, I understand. I could see you in a leopard coat? How about it?
DeleteLove the necklace and that skirt... now I will obsess about a leopard skirt until I get one. :-) The bag, the shoes and the blouse are all perfect Ann. You never cease to amaze me with your location scouting capabilities! xoxox
ReplyDeleteI could see you wearing this skirt. If you have a Ann Taylor in your area check it out. There is a great coat and pants in the same fabric.
DeleteOh Ann! Look at you doing a GIVEAWAY! SUPER - and today I love the necklace (hope I win) and those clog type shoes. OMyGosh!!! Your entire ensemble is wonderfully wonderful, but the shoes, the SHOES! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Renae. I've always loved clogs. Probably not "in style" but I don't care, I still like them. I could see you wearing this necklace!
DeleteThat beautiful post, Ann, and beautiful look. I love your blouse with chiffon on top, it's beautiful. The skirt is cute, the print is great, and the bag and necklace are gorgeous. A set sophisticated, elegant and well balanced in the colors and combinations. You're beautiful with this outfit.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, i enjoy reading your thoughtful comments.
DeletePerfect combination of shoes and handbag. Skirt is very particular. Background colours are great - as usually!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous necklace! and it's the perfect accessory with your outfit!
ReplyDeleteGreat look-the necklace is gorgeous.The bag gives a pop of color and the shoes are incredible! Perfect look! ~Raine~ buzzyngabe(at)yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteYour look is gorgeous again - I love the style of Ann Taylor.

Another stunningly composed photo shoot! The necklace is very lovely and it compliments the lace on your top. The shoes and bag are total knockouts!
ReplyDeleteAlicia
Beautiful necklace, hope I will win!!!I must order than the earrings too!!!Perfect for a LBD, good luck!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs always love the outfit and back drop. You don't even look hot with this extreme heat. My Etcetera trunk show is Sept 4-11 if you would like to come see the line, it is fabulous! Love to meet you.
ReplyDeleteThe pen skirt has a wonderful print and all the accessories are very beautiful. Your necklace is perfect on the blouse.
ReplyDeleteI love also your purse. A very chic combination on you. . .
. . . so nice idea about the necklace!
I always look forward to your posts! Such a classic yet eclectic style -- with the best photos and backgrounds! That mural pic is especially eye-catching. :)

HI! Love everything about every inch of this outfit. Once again I must ask you to see if you can see what style those shoes are so I can stalk then on ebay (I am already stalking the others that we discussed) I do usually find them btw. Teehee.
ReplyDeleteENTERED FOR THIS NECKLACE (OF COURSE i DID) which I found via your feed (which I love!)
Also, Thanks for linking up last week on the Verizon Voices Fashionista Style Hop. Head on over this week and link up this giveaway there, WHY NOT? http://stillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/2013/08/plymouth-style-verizon-voices-fashionista-style-hop/ We'd love have more of your style!
Love your stylish ways! The necklace is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLeaves, lace, and florals - so beautiful. Clogs are on my always-love list too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this giveaway! What a treat to come visit your gorgeous outfits and photography, and be rewarded with a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThank you Louise for taking the time to comment. Good luck on this necklace!
DeleteAnn what a beautiful outfit. From a distance, the lace on he top mimics an animal print. I had to zoom in a little to see it is actually lace. Very clever mix. The detail in your outfits is always inspiring. And such a beautiful necklace, quite a statement piece.
ReplyDeleteAnd again a perfect outfit. Love the shoes as well. Make the outfit so much more fun. This is totally my kind of outfit (drewling over the skirt). I will send you a picture of my vintage bag. I don't use it much as it is tiny, but it is great for events where you only need a credit card.
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is lovely but silver colour doesn't suit me. Had it been gold coloured I would have entered. Now I leave the opportunity to win to someone else.

I'd like to see a picture of your vintage bag. I've had this bag for 20 years, does that means it's vintage now! I usually keep my bags and mix them in with current purchases. I think it keeps the outfits from looking to "of the moment". I also like an unexpected shoe. Right now with the summer sales at 75%, I'm picking up interesting sandals for great deals.
DeleteI wish I could do that too. It is such a smart thing to do, shop awesome shoes in the sale. But my money is limited and I get so tempted by a new season and new things in the shop, that I send all my money to that. Leaving me with nothing for the good deals.
DeleteI will email you the picture of my vintage bag today.
A gorgeous ensemble enhanced by your smile and the lovely background provided by the Minneapolis coffee shop. The bag is very unique, as are your shoes. I enthusiastically entered your giveaway for the necklace that you wear with style.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann for the reminder. Long week and I'm still a little silly from it. (Training new employees, and a clumsy streak. More about that later ....)
ReplyDeleteYou look quite beautiful, again. I'm envious of the cooling weather, and am looking forward to your fall styling this year. Love, love, love your floral-leopard spots ...such a clever print! I'd never miss an opportunity to work this little device, and you do it perfectly. The tone of your vintage bag and shoes just make this outfit completely adorable, And of course, the necklace is a real, genuine beauty. The leaves are so perfect for fall, and the design elements make it perfect.
I'll miss Visible Monday this week, but am working on a post anyway.
Hope you have a fabulous, transitional season-y week!
What an incredible statement piece!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely combination! I wish you lived next door so we could swap clothes all the time, because I would want to wear just about every outfit you have on! And yes, I would love to win that gorgeous necklace too....
ReplyDeleteThanks Sylvia, that would be fun!
DeleteStunning necklace...count me in!!
ReplyDeleteWow i love your outfit and i love your pics!
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is wonderful!

Great necklace and I love how it ties in with the design elements on your handbag and the cutouts on your shoes. Do people stop you and ask if you're an artist? I would think they often would!
ReplyDeletehi Ann! I had a great holiday weekend; feel refreshed and ready to have some fun in Blogland again. I'm glad you were interested in my jewelry remake.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply beautiful! And you rock the whole look!
ReplyDeleteLove that hint of delicate lace, and your purse is really cool & different. Stopping by from the Trend Spin Link Up!
