The weather was warm enough to wear my deco skirt. I haven't worn a skirt in ages, with all the cold and snow this winter, so I was very excited.
You have already seen a similar outfit in the past, but at that time I didn't own the posy silk cami yet. I'm happy that I have decided to keep this cami because the skirt and the cami are made to go together. I have to thank GigiofCa because it was mainly her comment that decided me to keep it. At the time of the crazy post-holidays sales, $19.99 for this cami seemed almost expensive (because I didn't get the 30% off on top of that price); isn't it funny how everything is relative? What was I thinking?
Anyway, here it is, with the BR velvet jacket:
I took the pic above in the afternoon when I was trying the outfit on. That's why I wasn't wearing tights, not that it was THAT warm (my stocking drawer is in another room and often out of reach when I try stuff on).
But I took the following ones when we came back from the restaurant (and you can see that I had tights on. What you can't see are the black Juliets heels that I wore with the outfit):
I'm not sure if I will have the time for another post today, so have a happy Friday and weekend everyone!
I love the outfit! Great price for the cami. We also went out for dinner with friends last night, it does feel like coming out of hibernation!
ReplyDeleteI tried to buy that skirt. I was waitlisted forever, then one night JCrew actually PHONED ME to say I wouldn't be getting it, they were very sorry, and they were sending me a $25 gift card for my grief.
That was some good Customer Service!
Anyway, it looks lovely on you and I am so happy you got to go out! :)
Hi Ema,
ReplyDeleteI love the Deco skirt on you! I purchased it back in Oct for my birthday and I always get compliments when I wear it. My question is other than black what colors do you like to pair it with it? I have worn the ruffled Celosia in the rust color with it but I need to some other ideas.
Also, I will be in NY this weekend and also on Mon & Tues for insurance & surety meetings. I would love to meet up and shop at J. Crew if you are free.

love this outfit----it's always so much fun to go out with ADULTS only!! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDaniBP, I bought the skirt when it first came out, it was love at first sight and I'm glad that I did buy it before MO ;-).
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome CS gesture, you should tell the story on the JCA blog.
Emily, I really think that with this skirt it's better to keep it to black and white (including beiges on the top) because there is a lot going on with the pattern already. However I think that of all the other colors burgundy and a deep purple (like the purple that the silk posy cami also came in) are the best options. You could also try honey glaze/spice olive but that's it.
Mrs. anketell, yes it feels good!!!
Thx for the shoutout. Your outfit is great. I agree to keep it simple w/colors because the skirt pattern is so striking and enough on its own.
