This velvet coat like items, is a personal favorite. I wear it over a very thin lightweight cashmere sweater, and then this beautiful multi string necklace. I wear this during the day time as well as at night otherwise it does not get worn much. I have always like the idea of dressy with not dressy in the same outfit, I have dressed like that for years. I would probably not wear the necklace if I were to wear this during the day for a work attire. Perfect with my 505 Levi's from Kohl's.
Daytime accessories.
This is a great evening look, however if it's more dressy I would chose one of my evening bags and not this big one.
Colder weather hit Minnesota during the night last night. It was cold walking Henry this morning. This is a great easy to throw on look for me. The sweater is a khaki green it hits just below the behind. I add the trim which I copied from a magazine picture or something (I do this a lot). I always get a lot of great comments about the sweater. The scarf is a very soft cotton knit from a French line of clothing, which J. Crew carries some of the pieces. The roll of the jeans should be small and soft, to stay in keeping the softness of the outfit.
I can wear either the black purse by Marc Jacobs with my Italian boots, or my brown purse with brown hiking boots. I could put ballet flats with this outfit as well, to make it more girly.
Banana Republic cotton sweater that I add trim too. (I copied the idea ok?) Levi's with a gold thin belt which will not be seen. A Saint James knit scarf again from J. Crew.
Brown Banana Republic purse, many years old but cared for. Italian boots, I love these guys, they go with everything.
The pencil skirt is a classic, the modern version was first introduced by Christian Dior in the 1940's. Since then it has become a stable of the American women's wardrobe especially in the office. Anyone can wear one, just remember they need to be altered if the fit is not exact. They should end somewhere around the knees where they are the most flattering. Often times there is a kick pleat in the back, for ease in walking. These skirts can be dressed up or down, they can be worn with flats, heels or wedges.
This skirt is from J. Crew who is known for their pencil skirts. They always have a change in fabric, so you need to check with them often in stores or www.jcrew.com.
This skirt is from www. Avenue.com a website for Women size 14 and above.
