That time of year when newborn animals are around is almost passed, but there are still some late bloomers like this family (or possibly two families). I firmly believe that baby animals are adorable and I was thrilled to be able to get this group in my photos. They very helpfully swam back and forth in front of me a few times. Of course it must have been because they wanted to be on the blog and not because they were hoping I would feed them (I didn’t have any food otherwise their non-hopes would have been realized).
The look was almost monochrome black (which is something I seem to be fond of lately). The large bell sleeves are the star of this look with the faux leather skirt providing a bit of edge and the tights providing a bit of contrast and texture. A mostly monochrome look is a great way to let one or two aspects of an outfit shine.
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I’m wearing:
Bell sleeve top, similar here, here and here
Black faux leather skirt, similar here and here

July 27, 2018 at 2:41 pmHi Kath
you were lucky, the ducklings stayed in your pictures, I also find the baby animals adorable.
As for your look, I love those kind of sleeves, and the off-shoulder blouses are so trendy. Well you know I don’t really like black, but I think that color has a lot to do with your personality. The photos are very beautiful.
have a nice weekend !!

July 30, 2018 at 4:36 amI have always been a big fan of bell shaped sleeves and used to get my clothes tailored with large bell sleeves when even they were not that common or in trend..these days and from past few seasons they are more in trend and I try to grab a top or dress if I like with bell sleeves… like your black top with those sleeves… you look awesome..❤️

July 30, 2018 at 9:53 amYes, I love a good big sleeve (the bigger, the better)! And how cute are those baby ducks? I’ve seen a few lately as well, and I love how they always follow their mamma’s lead, unlike human babies hehe 🙂
