Grey jumper: Housing Works. Skirt: LES boutique. Boots: LF (also found on Solestruck). Clutch: Vintage. Fedora: Trash & Vaudeville. Necklace: Foley & Corinna vintage. Thermals (unseen). Rings: YSL/gift/Fashionology.

As long as I have warm leggings or tights, I’ll wear floaty maxis when it’s cold.
I got this skirt from a shop in the Lower East side that’s now gone. I bought it to wear as a strapless dress for a wedding. I was looking for that blog post to show you, but can’t find the bloody thing. It was a while ago (I’d be surprised if anyone found it). Re the Litas, I’ve worn them a lot since this post . The stripper like platforms are a God send.

ps. Post # 2 of trying to use clutches more during the day.

    I remember the look where you were wearing it as a dress, with the black wedges, amazing shoes.
    I actually showed it to my mum back then, because I wanted her to make me a similar dress.
    It was one of my favourite looks, beautiful.
    It looks great as a skirt too!

    I LOVE that concept. Mark Jacobs is good at that silhouette. I wish the sweater hit at the waist to elongate the frame. The skirt is BEAUTIFUL!!

    You have a very nice figure, this outfit doesn’t flatter it. This reads bag lady to me

  63. Karen says:

    Sooali – I’m jealous! Make sure you go to a local fish and chip shop. Usually ones around street markets are best. Avoid anything in zone 1 tourist areas.

    Diana – ola!! ; ))

    Luciana – yes that’s it. you remember

    Dhalia – keep checking back. I’m sure they’ll restock. I’ve seen them doing that a lot with these shoes.

    thx everyone. This is one of my favourite skirts. Just don’t wear it often.
