Two Jackets + Two Skirts = Happiness



I have recently acquired two skirts and two jackets. Today I was delighted to find that they look great paired together! For the first outfit, I wore a vintage wrap skirt (given to me by that lady I met at a dinner party) as a dress. Over it, I wore my Alice Temperly jacket. The other outfit includes a skirt I recieved in a swap (also worn as a dress) underneath my Luella for Target motorcycle jacket. Two secondhand skirts with two Target GO jackets? Unintentional, I promise. I feel good in these outfits, though. I like how the first outfit looks ladylike on top, then sort of ethnic when you see the skirt, and then Superman-ish when you look at my feet. Contrast, children! And the other outfit makes me feel badass and romantic at the same time, since the colors and the skirt are romantic, but the boots and cut of the jacket are badass. Playing dressup is so much fun!

P.S. The reason my head is tilted strangely in the second picture is because I was attempting to show off the single silvery earring I was sporting. You can barely see the earring in the picture, though.

The ethnic skirt reminds me of the Anthropologie dress that is the knock-off of someone (print wise)...

I don't know what dress you're refering to, but I do know that this skirt reminds me a bit of a certain Anna Sui dress.

That one! I thought you had written about it, and I couldn't remember who had designed the fancier version (the Anna Sui), but I had just been on the Anthro site, which is why I remembered it.

Wow, what a run-on.

Ha! A reader actually commented on that post a few weeks ago to let me know that the dress was actually designed by Anna Sui for Anthropolgie. So it wasn't really a knock-off, then. Whoops.
