Isn't this skirt grand? The very interesting thing about this skirt is that it has a tie waist band. There is one band that snaps together then another that crosses over in the back to be tied. When I first tried on the skirt I couldn't quite figure it out, but now I get it, I think it is very excellent idea! Now you can get the exact fit of your waist. I love finding out these little details in garment construction.
This is also a great skirt to pair tights with. I don't know about you but I love to wear tights and this is now the perfect season to do so.

ReplyDeleteExciting! Can't wait to see what you whirl and twirl up:)
DeleteI have a skirt witha bout the same pattern but colors are reversed.
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice to have friends you are thinking about you with such a present!
I love these wedges, I have the same but the soles are really fragile, I had to change them because they were so thin at heels.
Gorgeous autumn colors around you!
This is interesting you comment about the thin area at the heels. I will have to keep this in mind. So you had to replace the heels?
DeleteBeautiful skirt and you look just lovely for your day of fun at your kids school. I love tights too and am quite addicted to different colours. Cheers to good friends and wonderful gifts!
ReplyDeleteYou are right dear Brooke. It is the spice of life:)
DeleteThey are indeed a lovely friend. Great outfit. Interesting to read about the fastening details.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate:) I'll have to photograph how it works as it is quite interesting.
DeleteHi Joanna, nice to meet you. Thank you for the blog-comment today.
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is lovely. I also adore tights so this is my favorite season. I actually feel deprived in Summer 'cause it's too hot to wear them. I see in your profile that you live in (or somewhere near) New York. I live on Long Island and visit the City all the time.
It was so nice of you to recognize Jessica for all the wonderful things she does in the "blogsphere". She's an amazing lady.
DeleteOooo Joanna darling, you look so very fantastic! I love how you took this skirt, which has something of a summertime vibe to it, and grounded it solely in these now nippy days of November. Beautiful, inspiring styling - the tone on tone patterned tights were an especially great touch (which mirror, in a way, the eye-catching pattern of the skirt itself).
ReplyDeleteTons of hugs,
♥ Jessica
How fun you picked out this correlation as I didn't even see it until now:) I just love this skirt. There is a lot of details and I just love the sequins to add the extra sparkle:)
DeleteI adore this skirt! And the whole outfit is incredibly smart! I love it!
