I did a formula for the top half, layering my black satin shirt under this striped knit vest.
I've worn these two pieces together previously, here.
More stripes in the skirt.
It's not a full maxi skirt - more of a midi, i.e. mid-calf - and it's the perfect length for not rolling into my office chair and not stepping on when I go upstairs.
Outerwear. I loved how the skirt looked with this suede coat.
I got soaked both ways walking to and from work - we're in for a cold, rainy spell, possibly some of the S-word*.
*that would be snow - don't say it too loud!

This hat stays on my head very securely, even in gusty winds.

How was your Monday?
Hi Sheila
ReplyDeleteI really like the colours that you have combined in this outfit. I've been trying to understand colour more in recent years (even to the extent of getting a colour wheel and a mini pack of colour cards) and have learned alot about what colours work together from your outfits. I love that you are so adventurous in your pairings. It's very inspiring! Sandra (from Victoria, Aust)
I really like this skirt on you! I've been loving midi skirts lately although they do tend to look a bit maxi on me, not quite proper midi length! But I've added a couple to my wardrobe (thrifted and one I got from my mum for Christmas) so I've been enjoying wearing them a lot lately!
ReplyDeleteI always feel weird going into the office in the afternoon only :-)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, loving all the stripes going on in your outfit, and yes, that skirt is the perfect length for sitting and rolling around on office chairs!
That suede coat is once again one of my favourites of yours.
We had some of the "S-word" yesterday as well, but today is bright, and freezing cold! xxx
Loving the tank top with the skirt and the suede coat is always a joy to behold.
ReplyDeleteOur boiler servicing man came at 7am yesterday, it didn't bother me as I was already up but Jon's still moaning about it today! xxx
