Interpreting Yesterday's Runner Fashion Outfit

Hello!  Today's outfit is my street style interpretation of the last of four runner fashion outfits from Run For Your Life.  This outfit is not a dead-on interpretation of the colors in the runner fashion outfit, but it is the closest I had to pull from in my closet.  I preach to use what you got, so dare I be hypocritical for the sake of an outfit post!  Very little was used for this simple ensemble.  A little vintage Lilly, my favorite ribbed tank from Gap and all the usual suspect accessories.  I revisited the scene of my beloved old neighborhood for this post, Dilworth, which always feels right at home.


Skirt: Lilly Pulitzer (belonged to my Grandmother), last seen here, here's a current skirt I love. Tank: Gap. Shoes: fibi & clo. Clutch: Coach (old), here's my current fav. Sunglasses: Blinde, here's a less expensive pair. Earrings: (old), but here's a pair I love. Bracelets: My Grandmother's and Stella & Dot. Rings: Tiffany and Custom by Diamonds Direct.

Have a wonderful day!!  Whitley

  5. Love the idea of runner fashion outfits! The vintage skirt and bracelet from your grandmother are beautiful; my sister and I have been looking through our grandmother's closet and it's neat to see how on trend a lot of items are.

    1. Lindsay, Thanks so much! I consider myself fortunate and lucky that I was the only grandchild who got into the style/fashion thing, so I wound up with a lot of the great pieces. My mother and aunts who have several of the pieces have been so kind to share the wealth, as well! Thanks for the words on the hair. I great really stuck with pulling it back in a clear elastic. I'm trying to make the effort to to something else! Your words are motivation :).
