As part of preparations for moving house, I've been clearing out dressers. Lucky work! I found this vintage 1970's wrap skirt that I'd purchased about ten years ago, and then tucked away. It's a good sturdy cotton fabric and I really enjoy the design. I had similar skirts in the actual 70's, when I was a college student, because they were cheap and cool. I wore them with graphic tee shirts and flip-flops.
I like the wrap skirt again, this time a little more polished with a scoop-neck tee and bangle bracelets. Oh, and a very pretty cat who is inclined to pose just like me. Paw in front, slightly turned.

| How poised is Stinky? Oh, and the flash is making my top look sheer around my bra - but in real-life it's opaque. |

| I had fun wearing this old skirt; it brought back memories while making me feel Visible today. |

Patti, I love this pink skirt!! And the way you styled it is perfect...love it!
ReplyDeletePoor little skirt, languishing in your closet until its dramatic rescue and showcase here to make up for lost time. This is a fantastic skirt. And you look very chic in that black top especially with the way you're wearing your hair. Boho chic.
ReplyDeleteHave you had this skirt for a long time? It's really cute, haven't seen you wear it before. Love a good wrap skirt. I recently found one I almost bought at a local consignment shop but it was missing the little hole to pull the tie through so it just didn't work. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for having us!!
Digging your hippiness... :-) Paw in front, slightly turned. Crack up!
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous skirt! It looks to be in great shape for being from the 70's!
ReplyDeleteI love how your cat is posing!
Oh, Patti, the skirt looks so good and natural on you, I really hope it is something you keep rather than part with!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit!! And what a beautiful skirt!
ReplyDeleteThat cat knows how to WERQ!

wristbands
Wrap skirts (and dresses) are great. They can expand and contract to a certain degree! I hope they never go out of style.
ReplyDeleteI love rediscovering an old piece from the closet and making it current again - this skirt reminds me very much of one's my mother used to wear when I was a girl - she loved her hippy skirts. It is lovely with the simplicity of the black tee.
ReplyDeleteI love that skirt on you: it fits you perfectly and the color and print is exquisite. Now what came first, the kitty or the pose?
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again, dear Patti,and of course all my favourite girls.

Oh Patti, you look fab! I love that skirt. Isn't it nice when you clean up your closet and you find treasures that you didn't even know you had or have forgotten. Fab! Good luck on the move!

What a great find - the colors are beautiful. I think your cat might have an interest in his own style blog. I can see it now, Stinky Style...LOL.
ReplyDeleteI like the updated look on the classic skirt! I also like the elegant feline. Lovely, the both of you!
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you and I love your hair pulled back. It shows your beautiful face and smile.

Patti! You look like a prima ballerina! BEAUTIFUL! Love that skirt! Hugs! Serene
ReplyDeleteThat was exactly my thoughts...she totally looks like a beautiful ballerina.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of cleaning out my closet either but what a great find in your own closet! Your skirt does not look out of style at all so beautiful!

Oh Patti, I think you look lovely in this skirt. It has an oriental feel to me. I think it would look great with a white tee and a denim jacket when it gets cooler. That color is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteStinky is a better poser than my Harry, but both are funny critters.
Harry has the best smile!
ReplyDeleteLove your hippie skirt and all the outfits posted. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I am new to this blog and just LOVE it! I am over 55, looking for fashion inspiration and find all these lovely ladies just looking so great. I have come to the right place!
ReplyDeleteThe colors in the revived skirt are some of my favorite, and with the black top you're looking very sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteStinky really got in on the action!
The scale of the print is just perfect, and the neckline of the top is lovely on you. Thanks for another great Visible Monday!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is your cat posing! :) you look fantastic with your hair tied back Patti
ReplyDeleteThat beautiful skirt would be lovely with the vintage jacket I just "found" in my closet! Maybe Stinky could teach my dog how to pose for the camera?
