I used to buy long skirts for the express purpose of hemming them into minis, but lately I've been loving the longer lengths. I get fewer funny looks when I wear them now (people have come to expect sartorial eccentricity from me, I suppose), and they make me feel a bit more mature. I feel almost indecent in my super-short skirts these days... my, how things change!
(sweater/skirt/belt: thrifted; bag: stolen from mom; boots: seychelles)
In other totally random news, I started taking a daily multivitamin for the first time yesterday (being a pasta-loving vegetarian means I don't always get as many vitamins as I need, and although I've been a longtime champion of the balanced diet and ingesting nutrients the old-fashioned way, it doesn't always happen for me), and man is that stuff effective! It advertised a boost to my metabolism, but the past couple of days I've taken it without eating first and felt incredibly nauseous. This morning I viciously attacked a nectarine with my teeth in an attempt to combat the swell of sickness. Not sure how I feel about that. It's just a regular old one-a-day for women, but I'll definitely be following the instruction to take "with food" from now on.
Anyway, back to the outfit: I thrifted both this lovely cashmere sweater and this pretty printed midi skirt at Goodwill last week--I have been scoring big time there lately, and it's created a monster in me. I have a major thrifting itch that never goes away! I want to shop all the time! I did buy this skirt with the intention to shorten it, but again, wanted to give it a spin before I cut it up. What do you think? Should I leave it long? I kind of like it, it just feels less versatile this way.
Another week is flying by...
I really like the subtle print on the skirt. It looks great long, I think leave it! I feel weird wearing mini skirts these days, unless i have super thick opaque tights on underneath. I thought I'd still be wearing them til I was 30 but I guess not.
ReplyDeleteKeep it long! It's quite delightful, and a longer skirt is plenty versatile I. The colder months!
ReplyDeleteThis skirt is kind of amazing. I think it might need to be this long. Love it with the fur stole & sweater.
ReplyDeleteI always take my vitamin after lunch for this exact reason.
LEAVE IT LONG!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many times I can tell you, but I don't get sick of it so here we go:
You have the amazing ability to wear vintage as it was meant to be worn while still looking modern and up to the minute.
I'd call you the 8th Wonder of the World....
I love the muted colors of this outfit! And I've been searching for shoes like that for what seems like a lifetime! I didn't notice the pattern of the skirt until I saw the close-up and it's beautiful. I don't know about shortening it. I like it long but know what you mean by 'being less versatile' that way. You could always go halfway and make it a midi. BTW, I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteI love the light neutrals in this outfit. And I'm a big fan of the long skirt thing, and I think it looks great on you!
