Here's how that purple jacket is getting worn:
(The dress she's wearing is one of the four I made a few months back. It's made out of quilting cotton. While I don't think quilting cottons are great on adults... they are amazing for dresses for little girls!!)
We cut 8yo's hair this weekend too. I think the shoulder length bob suits her very well. She's a Summer, so the soft purple and cold aquas/blues look great on her. She looks so grown in this picture!
I wore this skirt:
With a jade green tank top and cardigan - about the same color as the embroidery. Fitted on top and poofy on the bottom and the same color all over... I think I have a winning silhouette, people. I wear long, long skirts most of the time, I feel crazy immodest showing off my knees. *laughs*
I really should have snapped a pic - accessorized with some green and pearl jewelry it made a very romantic yet practical look. A long scarf in my hair, left long and pulled back softly from my face.
Yes, it was a good outfit day.
So do you have a philosophy regarding skirt lengths for yourself? I am a fan of long skirts for myself, though I am tall.
ReplyDeleteYes. It's all in proportion. Every woman has at least one or two really good skirt lengths. I'm short, I have short curvy legs, I have wide shoulders - so I look best in skirts that lengthen and balance me. When I wear shorter lengths (the length skirt that fashionistas tell shorties like myself to wear) I need to make sure my top is relatively the same color as my skirt, or I look chopped in half. I took a quick look through the archives and didn't see the proportion pictures - I will get a post about skirts out today.
DeleteAlso, long skirts (as you know) are like pants - you can bend over without fear! Always nice. :)
