Jewel Tones


Cardigan: Nordstrom
Tank: Collective Concepts
Skirt: thrifted and shortened
Shoes: Target

I wrote some editorial copy about jewel tones at work this week, and I think that’s what made me want to wear this skirt. I recently had it shortened because the original below-the-knee length just wasn’t doing it for me. It’s partly because the skirt is pretty full...it just seemed so big and billowy before.

I’m sorry I don’t have any Halloween photos to post, but I ended up working overtime on Halloween, and by the time I got home after inching along in L.A. traffic for an hour and a half, there was no point in dressing up. At least I have bat wings and ears to wear next year!

    I've been all about the jewel tones lately! and that skirt- total swoon. I love the shorter length. Do you take your clothes to a tailor to get shortened? I am such a shitty seamstress sometimes :-)

    Did this skirt get shorter since the last time it was on this blog? I can't remember- but I really like the new length of it!

    good call on the shorter length. i would have done the same thing. below the knee can look so dowdy sometimes.

    Your jewel tones are so pretty and very autumnal! I'm still so excited about your new job, although I'm sorry you had to miss Halloween :(
