  OK I am disappointed. I came to see the circus and all I get is color extravaganza with ultimate fabness?

  *Rolls eyes and leaves post*

  Super, Natalie! I am kicking myself that I didn't get a striped bag and skirt myself!

• kkards replied 10 years ago

  if this is what the circus looks like, i'm ready to run away from home and join. 

• Joy replied 10 years ago

  What happy outfits! My favorite is the shift dress with your striped bag. Lots of fun.

• Aquamarine replied 10 years ago

  OM goodness...number 4 is fabulous! But they are all fun and your exuberant use of color always makes me smile.

• Sona replied 10 years ago

  I like your rendition of the VC skirt. Lots of color and matchiness  per your usual style as well.

• Elly replied 10 years ago

  I love the shift dress on you-- it would make a fabulous hostess dress!

• Word Lily replied 10 years ago

  I love all this color! You look great. 

• cheryle (Dianthus) replied 10 years ago

  They are all gorgeous Natalie but I have to say #4 is totally wow.

  You wear color so beautifully. 

• carambola replied 10 years ago

  Love it all. You look equally fab in brights and black & white. Also like your peacock iphone cover.

• Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

  Oh my, such amazing color and fun!  I think the shift is amazing -- vibrant, but so sophisticated.  The Brahmin is a real punch in a sleek package and, paired with a matching skirt is such a bit of ladylike fun!

  You're looking stunning -- put together and chic, but having fun, too!

  I am crazy about that circus dress on you! Such a cute theme :) Have you read The Night Circus? The black and white stripes remind me.

• catgirl replied 10 years ago

  OK, 6-7 is too matchy for my eyes, but the rest of these are fab - and circus pants are nothing like these babies, that I still covet!

• Lisa replied 10 years ago

  This is a great little wardrobe capsule built around a fun black and whtie striped bag.  Nice job!

• rachylou replied 10 years ago

  #4 is really knockout. #7 is really good too. There's something about the shirt in #1 that feels a little off to me in the repose of a picture. I agree on the colour and not tucking... but the shirt is looking like it wants to be tucked to me, if that makes any sense. But at the same time, I know that if I saw you in #1 on the street, I'd be all *there goes a cool girl.* Eh - one half dozen.

  Circus rocks.

  Oh man. 6-7 is so so making meregret passing up that skirt. In theory it seemed too matchy, but in reality it is such a quirky match that it is awesome! I mean matching jacket and skirt... Or bag and shoes... More expected. But bag with skirt is unexpected and fun to me!!

• Emily replied 10 years ago

  I love your clown pants!  They look lovely on you.  I love things that match, 6-7 looks great too.  Is the zipped top a recent find?

• Vix replied 10 years ago

  Hi Goldenpig --

  Your title and theme are awesome. I'm surprising myself by liking the dress + bag the most; such a great pattern mix.

  I do like the outfit in #6-7 -- so striking and flattering -- but admit you've gone a step too far with the matching for me, ha! But if you're happy, we're happy. ;)

  Thanks everyone!
  Neel, you are too funny!
  Ceit, yes I'm sad you didn't get the striped skirt and bag--you could have worn them with your B&W striped Beetlejuice blazer! Now that would be awesome! ;)
  And Rae, I'm super sad you didn't get the skirt, since you already have the bag. We could have done another twin day, with our kitties.
  Kkards, I would love to have you join my little circus--what is your act? I'm definitely the juggler--feel like I'm trying to keep one too many balls in the air!
  Thanks Joy, Aquamarine, Elly, Dianthus, & BethAnn. I'm glad you like the dress! It's quite colorful and crazy!
  Thanks Sona, WordLily and Lisa!
  Carambola, I like the peacock phone cover too! I also have a black and white polka dot one. The funny thing is I sometimes change it out to match my outfits. Now that is maybe going too far.
  Scarlet, I love a circus theme too! Maybe for an upcoming kid birthday it would be really cute! And I did read Night Circus. I'm trying to find a book that's similar to that to read next--any suggestions? I just finished Mr. Penumbra's 24 hour Bookstore--it had a bit of that flavor, although not exactly the same style or subject matter.
  Una and Vix, I knew that some people would find the matchy stripes a little too much. Funny thing is my match-o-meter is so skewed that I don't even consider it that match matchy, because it's *only* two matchy items. 
  Rachy, I think you may be right about tucking--maybe I'll try a half tuck next time.
  Emily & Una, thanks for the clown pants love! You have to make up for DH's lack of enthusiasm for them!
  Emily, the top is from Target from last winter. http://www.polyvore.com/conver.....d=67035103

  That bag is so fab!  I kick myself for not getting it every time I see a picture!!  You look spectacular in every outfit - and not in a circus clown way either.  The pattern mixing in 1 is perfect and so much fun (again, not in a circus way).  The bag puts 4/5 over the top.  Extra, extra stripes...read all about it...6/7 is my favorite.

• E replied 10 years ago

  Love them all: you put such wonderful combinations of colours, patterns, and textures together. And I don't think 6/7 is too much matchy matchiness at all, just lots of fun but at the same time sophisticated. That's a tricky balance to strike but you seem to do it all the time. :)

• Laurie replied 10 years ago

  I am totally drawn to the matchy-ness - my eye goes right to 6 & 7, and i just love it.  you look amazing.  I have to think too much about the other outfits!

• Angie replied 10 years ago

  #4 and #7 are spectacular, Natalie. Much better than the circus.

• karymk replied 10 years ago

  You are hilarious, I can hear the organ-grinding monkey as I write! 

  I love love love it all (esp. the clown pants) except the striped skirt AND the gorgeous Brahmin bag at the same "moment."

• Day Vies replied 10 years ago

  You make matchy-matchy look so fresh and innovative! I don't thing your floral pants are clownish at all!! I love the tension of the opposites --  graphic strip of the purse vs. floral pants; the coral blouse bookended with the aqua, works on so many levels. I also love, love, love #6.
