Actually, what I really have is a a maxi dress disguised as a long skirt. I was inspired by other bloggers who make their clothes (mainly dresses) do double duty; whether it's a skirt as a dress, or a dress as a shirt, or some other cool thing that I couldn't come up with it's absolutely motivating but, I digress...
I honestly wasn't really sold on this fall trend... I'm still not sure how I feel about it... no, not yet... not now either... How about you? I just think that shorter skirts are more flattering on me and long skirts make me look oddly proportioned. But, as they (whoever they are) say: "you never know until you try" and I'm glad I did but, I'm not sure I would do it again. Are there any fall trends that you're not sure about?
- Top: pink ruffle embellished t-shirt, LOFT (same shirt different color here)
- Bottom: black maxi dress, New York and Company
- Shoes & Accessories: silver cut-out flats, Merona for Target (similar and on sale here); silver bead earrings, Tiffany & Co.; black spy bag, Fendi

I think it worked out well! I always like long skirts on other people and hate them on myself...
ReplyDeleteI'm not totally sold on the return of the early 90s boots. Which is not to say that I don't want to try them (again), just that I'm not sure that they'll work with my aesthetic.
Also, thanks for the shout out!

Oh, I'm the same way with long skirts/dresses...but I would like one just to feel like a traditional woman! I know, that sounds weird...
ReplyDeleteCLOTHED MUCH, a modest fashion blog
I typically avoid longer skirts you are right about the proportions being odd.
ReplyDeleteI do love this top, the detailing and color are so pretty!
I'm the same way! I found one of my mom's old longer length skirts and ended up pulling it up as a dress, haha. I'd wear it if I didn't get strange looks, maybe.. maybe with heels? But I think you pulled it off rather well. :) I think those crazy patterned ones are what pushes people away sometimes.
