Velvet blazer, Cami. Blouse, Merona. Tweed mini, Willi Smith (thrifted and altered). Layered tights, Hue and Merona. Boots, Nine West. Ring, Jan Michaels San Francisco.I thought this was a perfect outfit. I loved the mix of textures and colors. I felt fabulous in it.
This is a fun blazer. It can be worn with the throat open as I’ve done today, or buttoned all the way to the neck for a Nehru collar. I wasn’t feeling quite that formal today, though.
I had to show off the detail on the back of the blazer
What a great look! The colors and textures just subtly "scream" FALL is HERE! :-) (Well, almost winter now!)
ReplyDeleteThe ring is such a beautiful detail to this look! We must all be about the fall colors today! My "daily wear" blog post today is all brown and orangy... :-)
perfect is right
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about layering tights, but I might have to try that when I'm walking to work next time!
ReplyDeleteThese are some of my favorite colors - stunning.
ReplyDeleteAwesome outfit - I would totally wear all of it.
ReplyDeletei'm curious to how the skirt had been altered?
ReplyDeleteI have a question about the alterations, too -- I notice you wear most of your skirts & dresses above the knee, and you mention often that they've been shortened. How tall are you and how do you decide what length your skirts & dresses should be? Do you go by your height, a personal preference, or the garment itself?
ReplyDeleteslogoin' vws - this is one of the few skirts that I made LONGER! It is a wrap skirt, so I just moved the buttons so that it sat on my hips, instead of my true waist.
ReplyDeletek.l.r. - I'm just under 5'5" with a short torso. I like most of my skirts to hit above the knee. I usually stand in front of a mirror and experiment with different lengths (held in place with straight pins), before I decide on a place to hem it. My calves and ankles are probably my best feature, so I like to reveal them.
Thanks Kasmira -- that makes total sense. You've made me realize I need to reevaluate some of my hem lengths to improve the look of a few pieces (like that red dress, lol!)
ReplyDeleteI agree--this IS the perfect outfit. And so funny because I was literally just in my closet putting together combinations of red, brown and yellow as well!!! I'm going to try mine out in the next week.
ReplyDeleteI have some bright red tights and I've been stressing about the color red not matching up exactly with other items in my closet but I feel better after seeing your picture--the reds are close but not a perfect match but it still looks great.
However, i need information on this layering tights--they LOOK like one pair in the picture. Is one a nude textured and the other a red or what? Need more details!
Leslie - I'm wearing a pair of solid, burgundy tights by HUE as a base. On top, I layered a pair of open-weave burgundy tights from Target. They are nearly the same color of burgundy.
