Chairs and Lace Tablecloth

I'm consciously trying to wear everything in my closet by the end of September. This outfit utilized two items that I haven't worn very much.

Is the peplum a done thing? Over? Should I care? Should I care that I don't care? (hee)

This lace blouse reminds me of cheap tablecloths, you know the kind your mom threw over her good tablecloth at Christmas to protect it. Not that a tablecloth-like top is a bad thing, per se.

I last wore it in April, here, with orange and blues. I like it better with a wider belt, as it's a rather enthusiastic peplum. You could say it's a peppy peplum!

The silk skirt is one I've had a long time. I don't wear it that often - the pattern and very dark purple feel limiting to me. It's a bit hard to see, but yes, those are silver chairs all over it. There's a picture here from 2009, which is the first time I wore it. Five years is a good long time!

I last wore it in September 2013 for Monochromania! Week here.

The stuff:

My Coach sandals get another wear - they are a little high for my feet, but I still love them. I last wore them here in June when I wiped out in my Danger Pants.

Purple bling:

The jewelry is homegrown vintage from the 80s, gifts from Mom & Dad.

Top (Annalee + Hope, thrifted), skirt (Smoking Lily, consignment), shoes (Coach), belt (Plum), cuff (thrifted), earrings/ring (vintage 80s, gifts from Mom & Dad).
