Everyone needs this, especially if you're wanting to try the lace trend for Spring '10. I think this skirt would be flattering on a whole bunch of body types-- the only problem is the sizing. I sized up to a Medium so I could wear it lower (so it'd be a bit longer and more appropriate). But if you can make it work, then do it! Fo'realz.
First attempt: My Polyvore creation. The real reason I actually bought it was to go with my eShakti blazer, and it definitely hit the mark in my books.
Second attempt: Menswear inspired. This baby was begging me, just begging, to be contrasted with menswear-inspired looks. So I did this, and I quite like it!
Third attempt: The peeking slip. I realized this skirt could be a great solution to some of my shorter dresses that were making their way to the end of the line in my closet. Lo and Behold, this little lacey number spruced up an otherwise short and boring hot pink sweater dress. Yay!
I love love love it with the pink sweater dress - amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh, beautiful! I admit, I am obsessed with white vintage lacy skirts and dresses....um, I only have about 5 similar skirts, but I think I need this one too? Pretty! You look great in it. I especially love it as a little petticoat under your dress, and it looks just glorious contrasted with that tweedy blazer as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which is my fav... I was first going to comment that I love how you paired it with the slub tee in the 1st pic bc that's soo my style... but I LOVE (hard) the color combination and "look" of the 2nd. The 3rd isn't something I'd wear, but it looks great together...
ReplyDeleteBetween you, Amber, and Chloe, I've decided I have to go to F21 and try my hardest to not get overwhelmed and see the potential in their items...
I LOVE that skirt on you. I especially love the last two looks (so creative, putting it under a short dress!) although they are all great. Fabulous as always!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely perfect! I love all three, but the I like the tailored blazer look the best-yay for ying and yang!
ReplyDeleteLove it paired with that pink sweater dress!! What a great combination!! And I LOVE that patent bow belt... where have I seen that before?? Nordstrom?
ReplyDeleteI like the last two. I think they are really unexpected. I am loving the menswear. I think it would KILL with your gold oxfords!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! All your looks really work. Great idea to use the skirt to lengthen shorter dresses. Target has a similar skirt (tiers but no lace)...
ReplyDeleteAll three looks are great, esp. the last one with the sweater dress. What a GREAT idea!
ReplyDeleteLOVE. Must buy now :) Out of curiosity, how tall are you? I'm not sure if I'll need to size up or not (I'm 5'3 and a small)
ReplyDeletei love that skirt - and i got it a few weeks ago! i also had to size up in order to get it to fit lower, and also to get the tiers to lay flat! haha. i've worn it once, so far, very similarly to your first set of photos. i love the other ways you styled it, though! thanks for the ideas!! :)
ReplyDeleteI just found your site and LOVING your style. I can't wait to see the rest of your outfit posts. Now I'm thinking I really need this skirt.
