Top - All Saints
Skirt - BB Dakota, gift
Chain belt - DIY
Boots - Jump, ebay
I've felt sort of frustrated with my closet. I know I've got some GREAT pieces, but sometimes I'll get in a rut and feel like I can't put pieces together into an outfit that *works*. So I gave myself a freebie today and decided even if I wasn't going to wear it all day, I'd sit down and try on a bunch of outfits until I found one I liked visually and then go from there. The skirt was the starting point. A gift from the lovely Sheila, it is a very strange weaved fabric (50% wool/50% rayon).. but it falls wonderfully and is the perfect shade of yellow.
Next I pulled out this All Saints top (that caused Wendy B to shop!). Now these two pieces I wouldn't typically pair on a Monday for a very specific reason: I have a 3 hour class to sit through. I don't know about you, but I hate having two snug-fitting clothing items on while sitting for hours on end. Adding the chain belt didn't help. But overall I liked the concept, I felt good flouncing around in this for a couple of hours before changing into the outfit linked above with my pleather jacket for added warmth.
Don't forget, sign ups for the next Fashion Challenge started today. You've got nearly two weeks to plan! Keep an eye out this weekend here on Megan Mae Daily for inspirational Polyvores.
You look great! The colours of the top and skirt go together very well and I love the belt :) also, very excited about the challenge :D
ReplyDeleteYou finally wore the skirt! I just love this skirt so much (I am living vicariously through you since I can't find one). Yellow and gray look fantastic together. The boots are so much fun and a perfect item to finish off the outfit.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks good today too! Heather
What a gorgeous skirt! I love the way you have styled it. I also love your hair today...it looks especially shiny :)
ReplyDeleteLove it love it love it Megan! Everyone deserves a freebie and this is a good one. I love the yellow skirt and those boots are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteYour outfit looks great, but I agree about not liking to sit for long periods of time in fitted clothes.
ReplyDeleteAh! I love the bright yellow against the contrast of neutrals! Gorgeous!

I LOVE your yellow skirt- it adds such a great dimension to this already fab outfit! Thanks for the Canadian greetings- it's been so warm here recently I spent my Thanksgiving weekend outside which is a first at this time of year! Excited for your fashion challenge- heading over to sign up now!
ReplyDeleteSome days, you just got to flounce around! Love that shirt SO MUCH. Once again, I'm coveting your clothes!
ReplyDeletePretty skirt. That really is the perfect fall shade of yellow.
ReplyDeleteWhat's different? Did you have your hair styled/straightened? Whatever you did, it looks great. It frames your face nicely in this picture.
Thank you! It was a really good Thanksgiving Monday! Enjoying a slice of pie and a glass of wine right now!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the frustration. I think it's that I'm so tired of casual clothes, and I just can't work from home in skirts / dresses.
Thats it....I need more yellow....you look great!!!
