The last outfit of the challenge! I have layered an olive sequin-trimmed cami under this (it's underwear, even with sequins!).
Jane, thank you, as always for "hosting" these - I really enjoy them! They're just long enough to really stretch my creative muscle, but not so long that I become really sick of these clothes. I still have a few outfits in my mind that I could make out of these pieces, but I'm looking forward to wearing some of my new-to-me things that I got this week.
Today was the second wear of the skirt, the blouse and the shoes, as well as the belt. And yes, here is the cape...as a cape: 
I tested this a few ways before I left the house (I wore a scarf and gloves in the morning, but it was warm enough this afternoon not to need them). I didn't like it the above way, but preferred it worn the way I wear it as a skirt, thusly: 
This was actually very snuggly for walking, although my bulky purse over my shoulder was cumbersome, and I ended up carrying it by the straps. I did a bit of shopping on my way to meet L for lunch, and the cape was a downright pain in the butt whenever I tried to bend over (the slipperiness of the satin lining made it try to go over my head - most annoying).
Um, yeah, I bought these fabulous boots and couldn't resist wearing them. I saw these at a different store in January 2010 and kicked myself for not buying them then, so when I happened to stop in at the shoe store and they were 1/2 price, well, what's a girl to do?I believe Megan has these same Miz Mooz in black and brown:
But mine are blood red! I'll do a close-up picture next time I do them for an outfit.For the last time, here are the pieces in this outfit (info on them here):
I ADORE those boots!!!
ReplyDeleteAaaaahh!!! Love the boots, lovethem! I only have them in brown, but I have a pair of black wedge MMs. I can't wait to see how you wear them. So jealous that you nabbed them in red.
ReplyDeleteI've loved your capsule week. I like them a lot better than the 30/30s because there is creative remixing but you aren't bogged down by the same pieces for a whole month.
I think I like the "cape" better as a skirt. Probably because it just makes a really cute skirt.
Thanks, ponchmor!
ReplyDeleteMegan, I love them too - so sweet! Oh, your black ones are wedges, I missed that, thanks! Aw, thank you, that's nice - I agree, because I want the challenge to be FUN most of all. Agreed on the cape/skirt!
WOW
ReplyDeleteI need a skirt in THIS SAME COLOR.
I have been scouting all over and NOTHING ! Well, nothing I could afford that is...
Thanks, Lorena! I only paid $7.50 for this in a thrift store - I love the colour.
