So... I saw this suede skirt last week in a thrift-store. It was expensive new but, due to a tiny liquid-stain on the top of it (which is concealed), it was marked down to only $4. The skirt is a gorgeous shade of green and made of a thick, rich suede material.
I paired it with a new, shiny top that appeals to me because of the drooping neckline. The outfit looks elegant enough for me to wear my dangling earrings. I've owned the yellow strappy sandals forever and love the flowers on them.
What do you think?
YAY!!! Love the new blog!!! as you said with mine, the big photos are so so much better - now we can see all the details.
ReplyDeleteAlso LOVE this outfit! It looks lovely and sophiscated on you. Your style really is changing and getting better and better each post (although that is a very subjective comment - I mean it in the best way possible though :) )

Thanks, Stel: I believe and hope you're right.
ReplyDeleteMy ability to create outfits is growing with practice and I put a lot of thought into them. This learning-process is one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had, particularly since I can share it with wonderful new friends -- like you!
Nice! Congrats on the move: I've found blogspot to be very easy to use. I've used LJ before, and Wordpress (and B2...and Greymatter...man, I've been on the internet a long time), but I think Blogspot might be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I think this is my favorite outfit from you ever! The colors are SPOT on. It gives me an autumn-vibe, too, for some reason, which is good since, after all, it IS autumn. The skirt is great and I LOVE that top!
woot for the new blog! I love it! Okay, love the longer length! I have been meaning to find one. You look very festive, perfect for a formal autumn party!
ReplyDeleteLove the color of the skirt! I'm not really one for long skirts, since I love showing my legs, but this totally works on you! The top you paired it with is awesome! Thanks for the bit of luv on my blog!

Thanks, Ashley and Sara. Your feedback reinforces what I'm coming to realize: that going beyond my normal fashion-choices is valuable exploration. Some things, like long skirts, work for me when I never thought they would. That's so rewarding!
ReplyDeleteThanks, LaToya. I like your blog a lot. You pick really interesting clothes and well them beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks! That means alot. I'm actually trying on outfits right now and feel like I'm stuck in a rut! I like alot of your outfits too, saved some for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I like this layout...!
ReplyDeletePlus I like you new pretty skirt, I am a total lover of all things suede.
The shape of this skirt suits you.
LOVE!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. You've led me to this and I have to agree it's an improvement.
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt and the cowl-necked top really suits you (good for wide shoulders). You look very elegant!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheila. If you like it, I'm doing something right. :)
ReplyDeletePretty top lady. :)

P.S: When are you gonna post more Halloween costume ideas?
I LOVE this outfit. It's my favorite one yet. I'm not a clothes person. I mean, I wear clothes. I'm just not particular. Much of that is probably because I work from home and virtually live in shorts, t-shirts, flannel pants, sweats, etc.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm not into long skirts, but I think this one looks fantastic on you. It's a very elegant outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana. I was surprised also at how good it looked. It'd make a nice holiday-party outfit.
ReplyDeleteOh i love suede for fall and winter. It's so warm and luxurious. I think it looks great. And the sparkle of the top balances the outfit. Great look for the holidays.
