My Shelagh Turner Inspired Outfit

I just thought I'd share a lovely outfit I wore last weekend while shopping! My mom thought my outfit looked very Shelagh Turner (previously Sister Bernadette) from Call The Midwife. My glasses are for reading and computer work, but I ended up wearing them outside for these pictures to enhance the 'Shelagh' look. The windy weather actually worked out in my favor for this outfit (This is what happens when you live a few hours away from the windy city, Chicago!) which created a wonderful swirly effect on the skirt. The colors in this outfit are also very Shelagh; the muddy brown cardigan and skirt, creamy yellow blouse and rusty tone in the oxford heels. So, without further ado, here is the Shelagh ensemble!
