And...my other pair of shoes is the yellow boots! I knew these would be the biggest challenge for me to build multiple outfits around - and I do love a challenge. I also wanted the texture of the croc with the plaid and the pattern in the t-shirt (which has a titch of yellow in the design).The first skirt to make an appearance is this wonderful houndstooth. I love it because, frankly, it makes my butt look great.
It's all that walking - it's great for the glutes! I also like that this jacket (gorgeous colour) has a peplum back, to accentuate the booty.The stuff:
Hello, yellow boots! Grandma J's brooch makes an appearance, and the earrings return. I love the design on the t-shirt. Sparkly! Edit: I also wore nude fishnets today. Go, tights!
I am so going to walk more if I end up with a butt like that!
ReplyDeleteThose yellow boots are so bold and you wear them so well. I don't think everyone would get away with them but you manage to carry them off and make them look great.
I love those yellow boots, and I love seeing you wear them in this challenge. The houndstooth skirt does make your butt look great. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful skirt! It DOES make your bum look great. You and Lisa both wore houndstooth skirts and I'm jealous. I once thrifted one, but the pattern didn't line up well and it was too unflattering for me to keep. :(
ReplyDeleteWow. You look stunning. I love every part of it. The skirt and the jacket fit you perfectly! And the T gives it a funky vibe. And I can't believe I am going to say this considering my previous assessment, but I even like the boots. You look powerful and in charge.
ReplyDeleteHoundstooh ! is one of my faves, this skirt fits your marvelously!
ReplyDeleteYou saucy Woman!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you included your awesome boots, looking forward to seeing how you wear them.
And yes, your skirt and butt look great~dont ya love it??? You rock!
Can I ask where that skirt is from? I'm on a quest for a great houndstooth pencil skirt. I bought one from Kmart but I'm not convinced it's the holy grail - I just picked it up because I've been looking for so long!
ReplyDeleteKelly, the skirt was consigment, but it's Nygard Petites. http://www.nygard.com/onlinestore/Default.aspx
ReplyDeleteGood quality, fully lined - they cater to a slightly older clientele, but they have great classics.
Good work! The capsule wardrobe is a great challenge and your yellow boots are poppin'!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic outfit -- so sassy! I LOVE that you chose bright yellow boots for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteHa, I love it, Jane - do it! I am so glad I got the yellow boots - I just love them. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kirsten! Heh, I really wasn't fishing for compliments. :)
Thanks, Kasmira! I love Lisa's skirt - great colours. Aw, that's too bad; a houndstooth skirt is such a good wardrobe classic.
Alison, thanks! I love that t-shirt.
Thank you so much, Tina! Hey, if I can convince you to like these boots, then my job is done. ;)
Me too, Lorena - thank you!
Ha, Erin, you crack me up. The boots are only going to make one more appearance this week (tomorrow). Thanks a bunch!
MDS - thanks, and welcome! I will check out your blog out.
Audi, thanks so much! Well, of course, how could I not do these boots? They cried until I acquiesced.
Oooh, love the houndstooth skirt and yellow boots!
ReplyDeleteI think we are on a similar wavelength with color schemes. I am going to wear blue and yellow on Friday. :)
Thanks, Kari! That's so funny that we're doing such similar colours - I'll be in red and blue tomorrow.
