Cockatiels and Stripes?

This outfit pretty much represents what is going on in my brain at any given moment.

Colorful cockatiels trying to mate with bright stripes. It is like a smorgesboard of crazy, but I think it works.

But again, I think in cockatiels and stripes, so my thoughts should be taken with a grain of salt.

Unless you’re a cockatiel.

I’ve heard salt is bad for birds.

Not as bad as rocks. Or airplanes. Or cats. Or stripes.

But close.

Can we please be sober serious for a moment?

I purchased this red and white striped skirt from eShatki years ago before I had a blog. It remains one of my favorite pieces in my closet and I previously wore it here.

The cockatiel top was another older purchase. It is by Daniel Rainn (I cannot find it or a similar enough top to link to, but I have seen this top on eBay). I bought it for $13 at Nordstrom Rack many years ago. I had never worn it before. It is a tricky top. It has a sheen and it is a peplum shape (hidden by the skirt).

I scored the Anthropologie Waterfront Wedges on a popback for 85% off recently (sold out, similar here). I have wanted to wear them with everything.

What do your thoughts look like? Are they bird and stripe shaped? Peanut and alligators? Polka dots and rabid wolves? I think I may have a problem. My thoughts don’t go together. But at least I can pretend that my outfit patterns do.

  1. Ohmygosh, my brain read the entire first half of that post as “cocktails” and stripes, instead of cockatiels.

    So, I guess my brain thoughts must look partly like cocktails?…

    • Ha! That is more my kind of post! In fact, I do have a cocktail post going up in an hour. Maybe you are seeing the future! ; )

      Have a delightful week! Thanks for the smile!

  2. Red is a good colour on you. (I know it’s not one of your favourite colours, but you should definitely wear it more often!)

    My husband thinks my thoughts are like a ball of steel wool. Ha.

    • Thank you Liana! I like red paired with pink. It is actually one of my favorite combos, but by itself, I tend to avoid it. Of course, I wore my red boots today. Until it rained. Then I switched to rain boots!

      I must try to picture thoughts of a ball of steel wool! So interesting!

      Have a beautiful week!

  3. Love those together! I love the red/white stripes!!!! Very pretty on you! I wanted a blk/white skirt like that so badly, but all I found were too short! Main ally got a dress at gap at the end of the season. I haven’t worn it yet, though I can wear w/ a cardigan I guess. I plan on it being my Easter dress this yr.

    • Thank you Rebecca! I know that Anthropologie has a polka skirt out right now that is similar. You should wishlist it! I wish eShakti would make more of these poplin skirts. They were made to fit each person. I really loved them!

      Have a super week! I hope to catch up on your fun blog tomorrow!
