Hi there! Thanks for swinging by again. I'm posting on Blue Monday, allegedly the most depressing day of the year as we're all supposed to be in a full post-Christmas slump, but hopefully it's not been too much of a trial for you. This year it's on the 15th of January which is my daughter's birthday (she's 35). We met up with Sasha yesterday to have brunch with her in one of the Seagarden Cottages where she's enjoying a few days of luxury as a gift to herself. I dodged outside to take a few shots of my outfit, but couldn't find the right spot either out of the sun (too bright)...
...or in the shade (too dark). The view was pretty spectacular though!
I've been itching to wear this wonderful waterfall tulle skirt since I bought it recently on Vinted. I can hardly bear to tell you how much it cost. What do you think? Would you believe that even though it's brand new it only cost £5? Honestly! The rest of the outfit is from my wardrobe, nothing new. The waistcoat is years old and may not ever have been shown on the blog, but do tell me if I'm wrong. The blouse is ancient, was a charity shop buy from years ago, boots are from ASOS, sunglasses are from Quay Australia and cream tights are very old indeed.
Later on I swapped the waistcoat for this fitted jacket (very old). I really like this look; the yellow tweed jacket has a gold fleck to it and works so well with the soft fluid nature of the tulle and chiffon. The chunky boots toughen the look up without being too overpowering.
The broad tan leather belt is another way to add an accent without it becoming too much of a focal point. For me this outfit is all about the skirt, so hopefully the balance with the other pieces works to allow the tulle to remain at centre stage.
Nothing new with these citrine rings - I've had them for years now - they were gifted to me as part of a collaboration with Gemporia way back in 2017 (see here).
No doubt you'll see this skirt again and again and again this year. It's an obvious piece for summerwear, but I so wanted to try to winterise it successfully and think I did. Do you agree? I actually wore my cream cow print fur coat over the top of this as it was so chilly - sorry I forgot to get shots of that but we were running late. It's great to have your company again - many thanks and have a great week!

What a stunner of a skirt, Anna! and for only 5 pounds?? (or is that Euros? I can't keep track). I love tulle skirts and I think you styled this wonderfully! Winter white! Love the chunky boots with it. I do think vests/waistcoats are in for a renaissance, don't you?
ReplyDeleteI hope your Monday isn't too blue! Happy Birthday to Sasha!
I'm not really a fan of winter white Sheila, but this did work well. And yes pounds, not euros - a bargain, whatever the currency! xxx
DeleteWow, that is such a beautiful skirt Anna and I love the feminine style with the chunky boots. You look great and I love how you’ve styled it. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Phyllis! I have another version of this skirt about to make an appearance on the blog soon... xxx
DeleteThis really is a delicious skirt Anna, I’d love to try this style but fear it wouldn’t suit me. I need to just go try one on and see. Have a super weekend love. Jacqui xx
ReplyDeleteA friend send me a link to last week's fashion show with Chanel where they were featuring tulle skirts - I bet we'll find them all over the place now, so go for it Jacqui!
DeleteI like both outfits. Very feminine and still modern (because of the boots). Well styled.
