I felt very swooshy today! Very late 50s/early 60s-inspired, with just a dash of peasant. A glamourous peasant!

What top would you wear with this skirt?
Unlike my picador skirt (here), the fabric on this one is cheaper and the print is not hand-done. Real batik feels different and looks less like a pattern that's been printed. Faux batik! However, it was so fun to wear, and I really loved it by the end of the day.

Outerwear. Warm enough for a light jacket or blazer pretending to be a jacket.

I took pictures - of blossoms! The last of the plum trees are blooming.
On the way home, beautiful blue sky.

Thank you, Leslie!
DeleteGreat copper and turquoise accents to work with this circle skirt Sheila. I think your choice of top was perfect - that less is more does work sometimes!

Thanks, Anna! Sometimes you just have to go with the neutrals.
DeleteWouu, it's an amazing skirt, it deserves some infatuation!!, and you look gorgeous wearing it!, such a marvellous shape!
ReplyDeleteLove those fabulous copper accents! And blooming trees!
besos
Thank you! Aren't the trees gorgeous?
DeleteOh wow, those new glasses look so good Sheila and with your hair even more.
ReplyDeleteThe "chic-glam peasant" look is amazing !!!!! What a marvellous outfit, that vintage skirt was a great find.
I think I would try wearing it with pink.
Thanks, Lorena! I always love finding a good vintage piece and being able to incorporate it into my style. Pink is a great idea!
DeleteI absolutely love this outfit! It's so elegant but fun as well.
ReplyDeleteThe plum blossom is gorgeous - I can never tell the difference between plum and cherry blossom but I love it all.
Thank you! The cherries and plums that come later tend to be the giveaway. ;-P
DeleteLove the skirt, the outfit, the copper bling -- and those shoes are AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cynthia!
DeleteI love this outfit Sheila! The bow on the top and skirt work so well together. That skirt was a great find. I'd love a neutral top like that, I've got an ever evolving wishlist of pieces I want while I'm not shopping, ha.
ReplyDeleteI'd so the safe route and pair this skirt with neutrals too, so sorry I have no great outfit ideas for you.
Thank you - I know, it's sort of a "bow echo". I see all kinds of neutral tops, but you really have to dig for the good ones. No worries, my dear!
DeleteI love a full circle skirt like this. I think this blouse works really well with it. I would also try a navy, fitted, sleeveless or short sleeved top.
ReplyDeleteOoh, navy is a great idea. Thank you!
