outfit of the day: 03.09.2011

well, it's probably no surprise that the ackee pencil skirt came home with me and made it's debut today:


i paired it with the back porch blouse and the ribbon swell pumps i scored on popback for second cut sale price! i was worried wearing the red skirt and red shoes might be too matchy-matchy, but i think i added enough to make it work.






































































and then because i am loving blazers lately, i added the navy chalkstripe one from banana republic:
















i liked the subtle mix of textures and patterns.

  2. This outfit is gorgeous! The blouse goes so perfectly with the skirt and the heels are fabulous. Did you find the shoes to be TTS? I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

  5. kristin - thanks so much!

    LC - you know, my two other pairs of chies are older and in a mary jane style. for both of those i took a 37. these were a 36.5. but i think i read they changed their sizing on a run of shoes and this might have fallen in that range.

    lisa - thanks so much! they are soo comfortable too! i am trying to be more adventurous with my shoes and i think these did the trick.

    thatdamngreendress - thanks! i haven't worn this blouse yet, but once i broke it out, now i keep wanting to pair it with everything!
