Roman Holiday

It never bodes well for a blogger to compared herself to Audrey Hepburn. You know that. I know that. So let’s agree that no comparison whatsoever is intended here, post title notwithstanding. It’s just that this outfit reminded me of something AH wore in the movie Roman Holiday; it’s not exactly the same, but the vague flavour is there.

I don’t wear this skirt as much as I should because the full silhouette falls a bit outside my style wheelhouse at the moment. It’s quite romantic (with a hint of twee — those buttons on the pockets!) and most of the romance is gone from my closet. Wait, that sounds wrong. Vibe aside, the skirt is a whole lot of look, so I paired it with simple pieces to balance things out. I finally got around to re-soling my ancient Ferragamo Vara flats, so they are back in rotation after a long absence. They’re still among the most comfortable shoes I own; I’m only now starting to realize how much I’d missed them. Last but not least, my Coach Willis bag because it goes with everything and I can’t stop wearing it.
