{Express Tee, Vintage/Thrifted 70s Wrap Skirt, Jessica Simpson ‘Dany’ Platforms}

I picked up this amazing skirt at No Relation Vintage for just $8 a few months ago, and I  was waiting for the perfect sunny spring day to wear it.  This outfit pretty much put itself together.  Since I wanted the skirt to be the focus, I just added a plain white t-shirt (although I think it would look equally smashing with a halter top once things really start to heat up), and the outfit pretty much required me to wear a pair of sky high platforms.  I find that the right shoe is key to preventing below-knee length skirts from looking matronly.

    Love that skirt…you look so adorable! And I like the idea of wearing sky-high heels to keep knee-length skirts from looking matronly…I see fun things in the future for some of my work-appropriate skirts with that tip!

    Love your outfit! I have always wondered how to pull off a below the knee skirt without looking matronly.

    You’re welcome sweetie! The platform sole makes these shoes pretty comfy… well, as comfy as 5 inch heels can be, lol!

    What a terrific spring outfit! Love the skirt, and those shoes are amazing. (Though however do you manage to walk in platforms that high? I don’t think I’ve gotten the trick of that, yet…) I like the idea of balancing mid-length skirts with super-high heels to keep an outfit fresh.

      I just walk very carefully… and avoid cobblestone streets, lol!

      No need to be sorry for not liking my skirt. You’re entitled to your opinion. I absolutely adore it. 🙂

  • Cartom93 May 20, 2011 at 2:05 pm

    I think the skirt is adorable and the shoes are amazing.  Your choice of a plain white tee is perfect.

    FABULOUS! I love the contrast with the plain white t-shirt and INCREDIBLE platforms! I don’t care for Jessica Simpson, but her shoes are really starting to grow on me, especially your shoes! I have a couple of statement skirts I never wear because I do not know what to pair with them. I am stealing these ideas!
