OOTD - 12.03.09 Make it Work Week

Today, I dug way in the back of the closet.....and....

I pulled out a winter white skirt. My trouble with this skirt is the fact that I either appear to be shipping off to sea, or that I am an acolyte of Nurse Ratchet when I attempt to wear this one.



However, I was going to make it work, so I wore:

I got a decent detail shot of the petals this time. (It is at the bottom of the post)

the Stuff-
Chiffon Petal Cardigan - Loft $28
Beaded Tank - Talbots $25
Skirt - Talbots $25
Tights - Kmart $6
Flats - Gretta via 6pm $10

Whats the problem with the skirt?
Looks fine on the hanger, but when worn it appears to have been patterned from a 1970's head nursing uniform.

Did my solution work?
Not sure. I sort of felt like I was cheating by paring it with all black.

Will it make another appearance?

Hahaha - I think I will wear this again, although maybe closer to summer next year.

  6. Very nice! I like a good sharp black-and-white combo once in a while, especialy if it's not a combo you wear often.

  7. I like this outfit. The white skirt looks seasonally appropriate combined with all black. I've seen a few women on the street in looks similar to this, and I've wished I had a slim white skirt so I could do this look too.
