Mixing Texture

by Karen Blanchard
11 November 2011

Ok I’m back –  thanks for waiting.  Rest of the pics are up…









Jumper: Zara (here’s a similar by Madewell). Boots: Deena & Ozzy (also love these Alexa for Madewells). Shades: Ray Ban.  Bag: Vintage coach via eBay (love this baby version).  Skirt: Shareen Vintage.  (found similars here, here or in gold foil)


As I said before, what a week eh?!  Thanks everyone for the comments about the event. Yesterday I went to H&M’s showroom to preview what’s coming up for us this Spring 2012.  I’ll post pictures soon.

Today I wore a knit jumper and a vintage sequin midi skirt.  In the last two pictures you can see what the skirt is like as a mini.  I like that the skirt has an elasticated waist so I could hoist it above the boobs and wear it short as an option.

ps.  Thx Jenn for the feature!! and yes, a good satchel in tan or black will last forever.

    Such a gorgeous skirt, the gold sequin detailing gives it a classic vintage look. I loved how you paired it with a knit so everything balances out. I would love it if you checked out my blog, I have interesting fashion posts you might enjoy.

    Monroe Steele – trust me I’m still getting over it : )

    Dodo – ahhh thank you very nice thing to say.

    Camilla – I know right? just got the shoes – been after something big and chunky.

    Thx all for the comments. Considering how much I wear sequins/beaded stuff I knew getting this skirt is not a big surprise.
