I saw this look on a very chic woman last year, and thought to myself "I could knit a vest like that" so I did, but never got the courage to put it all together. Now vests are in according to A Femme d'un Certain Age so that's a bonus, and the skirt I purchased last winter on sale still fits which is also a good thing. Adding knitted bulk around my middle, plus a belt is perhaps not so flattering. But it was warm and cozy, and at least I pushed my comfort limit a little.

I like this look...very pulled together. I like to have a 3rd piece, a vest or sweater or a jacket...
ReplyDeletein my case it gives my wobbly middle bits more coverage!
This outfit looks perfectly ok to me. Why have you avoided skirts? I own none, as I simply don´t have any use for them.
ReplyDeleteHostess - thank you, I need to remember to add that third item more often.
ReplyDeleteMetscan - partly it's my job. I am a project manager for large landscape work in city parks, so I have to go on construction sites. Safety boots look really silly with skirts!!! But partly it's this comfort thing, I'm used to pants; I get in a rut.
I think this is a great look - you don't look bulky at all!
ReplyDeleteYou should wear a skirt more often - you've got great legs!
