By rights, this outfit probably shouldn’t work — what with the clashing necklines, and the navy overload — but somehow it does. In fact, it was hugely popular on IG … well, “hugely” by my standards anyway. So I’m counting it as a success. It makes me extra happy to have gotten a second chance at this Boden skirt, thanks to the lovely Lou who shipped it back to me after I changed my mind about getting rid of it. How nice is that? And, to give credit where it’s due, Lou is responsible for introducing me to Boden in the first place — she always makes it look fantastic.
My other fave piece of the outfit is this Zara peplum blazer I scored at my last clothing swap. It has the best lines, doesn’t it? I don’t have a lot of Zara pieces in my closet (5 in total if we’re counting shoes), but they are definitely standouts. The construction of this blazer and the finishing details (lining, trim, etc.) are surprisingly good quality for a “fast fashion” brand. Have you had a similar experience of getting more quality than you bargained from a “cheap” brand?
I loved it on Instagram and I love it here. Navy is a good neutral for you. Your photos have gotten smaller – not as easy to see details. What changed?
Sorry about that — WordPress screwed up when uploading the photos so they ended up being thumbnailed essentially. I should have checked — oops. Thanks for letting me know 🙂
To me, this is a very happy outfit. I like the different necklines, great together. You have been hittin’ the ball outta the park this month!.
Thank you, Jeri!
Aah you are more than welcome, I have PLENTY of Boden skirts to be going on with 🙂
I still maintain that we need a society of the traveling wardrobe because you have SO MANY pieces I lust after. If only the post didn’t take so bloody long 🙁
