Variations On A Theme

My last outfit-post showcased a cute new skirt I found. Your responses had several great ideas on how to style it. I plan to try your ideas as soon as I pick up the items you recommended.

In the meantime, I experimented a little more on my own with things already in my closet. Here are the results. Some of the ensembles don't work, I now realize, but it's hard to predict in advance what will and won't gel. I'm beginning to get more of a feel for creating outfits and don't mind making mistakes along the way.

  6. I love the first one and the last one. The first one a bit more because it is so impossibly chic.

    The second one I think would look better if you had paired it with a cardi of a darker colour.

    I was thinking how about just a plain black french cuffed shirt with a gorgeous statement necklace and black pumps???

  11. The pink cardigan looks fantasitic with black and white and the proportions of the two pieces together are perfect. The white tshirt and belt is another great look - simple and elegant. I'd love to see the skirt with a jacket that grazes the hem...you're tall enought to carry those proportions off, and the skirt is nicely tailored so will work well with a structured jacket. And purple tights - genius!
