When trying to figure out titles to my posts, especially outfit posts, I’m usually inspired by song titles and lyrics. Typically, I can come up with a title or lyric from one of my favorite bands. If something doesn’t instantly come to me, then I do a search for a few key words to spark my memory. In the case of the title to this particular post, I just couldn’t find anything using the words “may” and “blue” from my staples like Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Duran Duran, or OMD. So into the search engine I typed “lyrics, may, blue” (the color of the amazing skirt I bought from Bella of The Citizen Rosebud’s Etsy store, and name of the Miista boots). Lo and behold, out came a song by a group called Vetiver called “You May Be Blue” on Subpop Records. I’m so glad I did that because I discovered an amazing band that I had not heard before. There are great live versions on You Tube (such as this one recorded in London back in 2007), but I dig the album version. In fact, I liked the song so much that I included the video below and bought the album To Find Me Gone (Vetiver’s second album). Oh the places you’ll go when fashion blogging, no?
(Note: I wore the outfit with thick black sweater tights and a black jacket. My new job is keeping me busy with long hours, so I haven’t been able to take outfit pictures like I should. I hope to include myself wearing the outfit in a future post.)
Outfit – Old Navy sweater; The Citizen Rosebud skirt; May booties by Miista, purchased from Shoescribe.com
You just turned me onto a new great tune. Off to check out more about the band.
Hi Bella! Isn’t it great?! Still listening to the whole album, but I absolutely love “You May Be Blue”. I can safely say that your skirt helped to discover a new band for me!

hi cy, love those boots, especially the thick chunky heel!
“put a bird on it”! 🙂
They are so awesome, and are surprisingly comfy! I think you would like Miista shoes, lots of edge. Did you see the bird on the sweater? Hee hee 🙂

I saw their website and while their shoes are awesome, they are out of my price range. 🙁
If you go to Shoescribe, Solestruck, or Envishoes, you’ll find some for decent prices! I got my Gabriela’s from the official Miista site, but my other two I got from Shoescribe and Envishoes. Shop around girl!

Hello there, I do think your blog might be having internet
browser compatibility issues. Whenever I look
at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, wonderful site!
Thank you, I’ve just been looking for info about this subject for a while and yours is the best I have came
upon so far. However, what about the bottom line? Are you certain in regards to the
supply?
