Black Tie Optional
What I'm wearing:
J.Crew tuxedo ruffle front cardigan (not it's official name, but I copied that from Kim)
anthropologie Twilit skirt
purple Hue tights
black Taryn Rose pumps
I love sparkles! I love that this herringbone tweed skirt has metallic threads woven through it, and I also adore the ruffles on the pockets. Is this too many ruffles in this outfit? AHA! Trick question, there is no such thing as too many ruffles. I also wonder if the skirt is called the "Twilit" skirt because it is sparkley, and also.... vampires sparkle? (And I am sad I have still not seen "New Moon" yet! Just haven't had a chance. I know I am missing out on epic Jacob hotness.)
I am off today and desperately need to work on some studying, but what I really want to do is some Christmas shopping! (For others of course.)

Clearly the answer is never too many ruffles... This outfit is just perfect. Prim but still fun, and the fit of the skirt is just amazing.

oh my gosh! you are lookin sharp! :) love all the girly details!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit. LOVE! I think this may be my first J.Crew lemming for this season.
ReplyDeleteI *heart* that cardigan Rosa :) Your outfit in general is so cute! The wine tights were a great choice I think.
ReplyDeleteAlso, yes, there is no such thing as too many ruffles, and yes, you have to see New Moon if you haven't! Not that it is a cinematic masterpiece by any means (I am laughing thinking about it), but damn, Jacob is hot. I mean, I kind of hated his character in the book, but even I couldn't help staring at the screen in awe at some parts :)
" I also wonder if the skirt is called the "Twilit" skirt because it is sparkley, and also.... vampires sparkle?"
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!!!!
I love your outfit, I wanted that cardi yesterday when I was at J. Crew, but ended up leaving with 2 boring ol' Jackies instead.
Maria-there is nothing boring about Jackies!!! They are classic and I absolutely love them over everything.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty professional look. I tried on that skirt this weekend, but it was either too big or small in the sizes they had left. Love the purple tights too!
ReplyDeleteLOL I wondered the same thing about the skirt. I passed by that cardigan over the weekend but now thanks to you it's on my must list. Very cute outfit.
