Closet Confection: Standing Tall

2010_1009_outfit2 

When: Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Where: Hangin’ out

What: Turtleneck (Uniqlo), skirt ($21 Gap), socks (Betsey Johnson), ankle boots ($22 Forever 21), scarf ($10 street vendor), sunglasses ($40 Marc Jacobs via Nordstrom’s Rack)

I was super-excited to find this skirt on sale at the Gap.  So excited in fact, that I bought another one in navy blue.  

I have a terrible habit of buying things in multiples.

Unfortunately, I was less than thrilled with how this outfit came out.  I love all of these pieces individually, but I’m a little ho-hum about how they work together.

No worries.  It was a gorgeous day, and I had a fabulous time just hanging out and soaking up some rays.  I definitely think the skirt has potential, so I’m going to spend some time this evening trying to make it work.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

In other news, I LOVE my new ankle boots (although perhaps not with this skirt again).  I saw a similar pair at J. Crew, but thought they were too much of a splurge at the time.  I decided to test drive these less expensive versions for a couple of weeks instead.

So far, so good.

    it’s a simple look, but you look gorgeous. I’m loving black and electric blue, too.

    I LOVE that skirt! I am heading to Gap’s online store right now to check out what else they have on offer 🙂

      Yes, it’s really versatile. They also have it in grey and navy.
