I recently saw Audi of Fashion for Nerds in a long red pleated skirt, and (of course) she looked fabulous. I had already picked up this midi-length skirt, and Audi's post inspired me to try it out. It's by DKNY and very nicely made. It's a layer of poly chiffon over a layer of something silky, and it has a real leather sewn-in waistband (barely seen here).
I wore a simple boat-neck top with three-quarter sleeves, my very favorite sleeve length for any time of year. This top is by Panache (vintage) and it's 100% cotton in a very nubby, sheer weave. It's boxy but I like it. The new favorite Sofft booties are making yet another appearance! I did say I wear my favorite shoes to the nubs.

| No, I don't sleep in these shoes. Almost, though. |

ReplyDeleteBeautiful look. You are right about three-quarter length sleeves (WHERE are all the basic 3/4 sleeve tops in the stores this year? Is it just me who can't find these basics any more?) And bravo to you for loving/wearing your shoes to death! That's how I live, too.
