I wanted to wear this lovely wooly bell-shaped skirt again before it gets packed away for the season. It's so soft and cozy.
The black bits are different fabric, a thick stretchy business. It's an amazing skirt to wear - utterly comfortable, doesn't restrict walking or sitting, no wrangling needed. If only it had pockets.
Of course the vest is awesome - it's by Religion, but it feels like it's been reworked from a men's suit jacket.
I didn't take the vest off, not even when I got weighed at my own appointment. The nurse said I was a rock star!
Lovely orange suede - this has been a winner this season among my coats.
So classy.
There's an inside pocket and it has five in total. See? Probably former menswear.
I liked how my sheer cow-print mesh bodysuit looked with the outfit.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Vix!
DeleteThe bell-shaped skirt, cow-printed top and Shi Studio belt are a match made in heaven, and your orange suede skirt is yet another one of my favourites. You've really to the most awesome coats wardrobe! xxx
ReplyDeleteI was really pleased with how this outfit came together, thanks, Ann! I love that suede coat too - it was a good purchase.
DeleteI love love love the skirt with the body suit! The shoes are an added plus with their color and pattern though it’s hard to imagine walking in them…I keep thinking of a rocking chair’s rockers. Funny, isn’t it, how sometimes what you are looking for is front and center yet not seen; it’s like looking for pieces of a jigsaw puzzle…a piece found moments later when looking for something else. As Fred would say, “it was there all the time, how did we not see it?”
ReplyDeleteAnyway, a 5-pocketed vest sure does sound like a man’s piece of clothing; women’s clothes are rarely that practical (sigh). Great vest but I reiterate my opening sentence. :)
Cheers, Laurie
Thanks so much, Laurie (and how I missed a full day of comments is beyond me). The shoes are more comfy than they look, very stable on my feet.
DeleteYes, it was so weird! I usually fold that vest, so tore apart the folded items, gave the jackets a cursory look, and of course, that's where it was. Sigh.
Yes, finally an item with pockets.
ReplyDeleteLovely styling!
Right?? Thank you, Ivana!
DeleteGoodness, those shoes are amazing!!! The skirt is a beauty too!!x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kezzie!
