Skirt Story

This is the story of a skirt....one lone skirt worn 7 different ways.

Let's meet our main character:

Skirt: Tweed pencil skirt, multicolored navy and green, only $79 from Zara.

She is classic, basic and so warm for fall.

#1 Equestrian: skirt is paired with a ruffled white collar shirt and a Huntington plaid blazer with leather buttons. Add some riding boots and you'll be mistaken for a thoroughbred!

#2 Boho Chic: This jewel tone tunic is shown on top of skirt with a long necklace. Spray on some patchouli oil and your chakras are aligned!

#3 Evening out: A metallic shirt with gold accessories like this statement necklace, studded belt and d'orsay pumps dress up skirt for any special occasion. Date night anyone?

#4 City Chic: Skirt is downtown ready with a pleated silk top in an evening tone with a gold chain and grey over the knee boots! Any cabbie will stop for you in this outfit!

#5 Suit: Here we made skirt into a suit! Just add a camel wool jacket and silk blouse and you are CEO for the day!

#6 Romantic: When skirt is worn with a pink blouse with bow sash, swoon, love is in the air!

#7 School days: Skirt is now paired with an oxford blue shirt and a boys corduroy blazer. Don't forget your books because a great satchel would really complete this look!

After 7 days, worn 7 ways our hero the skirt needs a rest (and maybe some dry cleaning)! Thanks for following her through it all!

Love,

A Walkable Wardrobe

Every time I go on vacay I want to bring my most fabulous outfits...of course my most fabulous outfits only go with my most fierce shoes which all happen to be high. After many a painful holiday I have now given up on heels for traveling. I vowed to make cute outfits I could wear with boots made for walking and here they are!

Note: I challenged myself not to over pack on my latest weekend away to Boston and here are my results. Evey outfit shown is being worn with the same pair of standard flat riding boots in brown leather. I only had to pack one pair of shoes!!! I know what you're thinking, "Only one pair of shoes!! It can't be done!" I assure you my friends it can be done and its great when you have to carry your own luggage!!

Day 1: A vintage dress with a lace trim is sweet but modern when paired with colored tights and riding boots.

Day 2: Here a vibrant silt tunic is belted and worn over skinny dark jeans which are so chic when tucked into your tall fall boots!

Day 3: Mixed prints!! I love a floral or watercolor print dress paired with an animal print accessory! This mad hatter approach to prints is both artsy and fun! Make sure your dress is short enough to show off your fall tights and riding boots:)

Take the walkable wardrobe challenge! Be liberated! Pack only one pair of shoes on your next weekend getaway and see how great it is. With all the extra room in your suitcase you can shop and have room to haul it home!

Cheers!
