Grey Suede Skirt and a Corset

It was grey and blustery today - it's still really windy! All the daffodils are blooming sideways and the cherry blossoms look like snow. 

A mix of cherry and grey today in the outfit too.

This is a variation on a look I've done tons of times - this lovely corset top lends itself well to a rocker-ish vibe. I only wore it once in the June 2012 capsule, here, in an outfit that I loved (there are links to all the other times I've worn it there). As I noted in the recap, "that's not because it's an orphan piece - my own bad planning is to blame." It's one of those things that's a great finishing piece, but you need a good-sized wardrobe for it with some classic solid blouses - I had only one top that went with it in the June capsule.

The fuscia blouse is another old standby for me. I wore it on Pink Shirt Day in February, here.

And of course, this is the second wearing of this skirt, last done here with black and white and yellow.

These tights popped a hole right in the middle of my shin today - for no reason! I hate that!

The corset top stays put pretty well - it has rubber grip around the top, so I don't have to be adjusting it all the time.

The stuff:

My lovely Versace vintage pumps, worn twice in the December 2012 capsule (recap here), are right on trend, according to my fashion mags. Pointy toes are back (did they ever really leave?), and studded details, well, I have been all over that for years.

The howling wind makes Vizzini edgy:

He's watching the branches of the maples sway around.
