Yes, it's the poppy pleated skirt. Again.
I know I wear this skirt a lot, but look how versatile it is. It helped me save two more of my closet orphans today. The orphans in question are the cream silk blouse (Banana Republic) and the cream and black striped s/s silk jacket (thrifted). I paired them with my vintage pleated skirt (thrifted), a black belt (Nine West via Ross) and platform sandals (Target).
I have never worn the jacket because I think it's cooler than I am (pretty sure it mocks me from the closet) and I've only worn the blouse once because it's better in theory than in practice. The chevrons are a nice design detail but it lays funny and sits weird on the hips. Trust me. Back to the skirt though - I think it's one of my favorites. I love the length, the pleats, the color and it's orphan-saving skills. I mean, two at a time? Impressive, no? It turns out that poppy looks fabulous with black and white striped silk. And that this skirt and only this skirt (with it's sidekick, The Belt) is able to tame the wonkiness of the chevron blouse. You are welcome, Dear Orphans.
And you are welcome, Dear Readers, for yet another visit from The Orphan Saving Poppy Skirt.
Happy Wednesday, All!

ReplyDeleteThat's an admirably hard-working skirt. I think this is one of my favourite outfits of yours, ever.
ReplyDeleteThis top with this skirt (and belt) is a real winner combination! The proportions balance just perfectly, and the inverted cheveron of the top mirrors the pleats of the skirt. Very, very nice.
ReplyDeletekeep wearing this skirt it never gets old!
