Last time I wore this outfit, the proportions were off:
At the time, I blamed it on the boots, but it wasn’t
entirely their fault. It was the
combination of the boots and the skirt.
Now, I’m the first to admit that I don’t always pay
attention to proportion. Looking at my
pictures, I think I sometimes treat this is a personal smile blog instead of a personal style blog. Which is fine, I
like to smile (obviously, I guess), but I do also like style. So, this time around, I shortened the skirt
and remixed the outfit with different shoes:

And, I think it worked. It’s still a color combination I love; it’s just also now an outfit that I love. I kept the same butterscotch sweater (thrifted) and paired it with the same mauve skirt (thrifted and now hemmed). I added the same gray Swiss dot tights (Hue via Macys) and the same silk bow tie (thrifted). But, this time I wore burgundy pumps (Naya “Jada” via Nordstrom) instead of boots; which, along with the shortened skirt, made all the difference.
Also, it snowed today in Oregon. A lot.
My friend Kathy said it was a sign of the impending apocalypse. I heard “zombie apocalypse” and made this
face:
And with that, I wish you all a Happy Wednesday!

That is a wonderful color combo! Your last picture is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteRetro chic and lovely gracey. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo
ReplyDeleteOh, man, I love Swiss dot so much. I liked this outfit the first time around, but I do think the current version is an improvement. Smashing!
ReplyDeleteI do like the shorter length on your skirt! And the tights are just awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is really into talking about the zombie apocalypse :) We have long discussions about it, in which I try to explain to him that it won't ever happen. I think he needs to start watching "The Walking Dead," although that may just increase his obsession with zombies :)
The skirt length is perfect! I like those tights, too. The texture must be great in "real life"!
ReplyDeleteYour amendments definitely worked. I think my favorite aspect, though, is the combination of your tights and shoes!
ReplyDeleteBtw...thanks for your comment!
Love the outfit and the tights. Jealous of your adorable umbrella.

You were right--the shorter skirt makes ALL the difference. If only I had a smile like yours...

Haha you and your adorable faces! I understand what you mean about proportions though - I always seem to forget to take one last glance in the mirror and think of how the outfit looks on ME, not just as an outfit. Like the changes you made!
