Oh your poor bruises
The outfit works for me. Another one to add to my list of things to try with a waistcoat thanks x

Ouch! The bruises! You rock the waistcoat! :)

The outfit looks great! I hope those bruises heal soon!

LOVE!! I am totally digging your pencil skirt. I hope your bruises heal soon :-(

It looks awesome, Dawn, and emphasizes your curves in all the right places! Sorry about the bruises...you remind me of a little kid with your banged up knees!

Looks good Dawn! I have worn my waistcoat with a pencil skirt too.

Fabulous as always :0)

Nice bit of extra natural texture on those knees.

I love this look, I wish I could look this good in a pencil skirt with bruised knees. Have you decided what to wear to your meet and greet?

Such a great combination, Dawn! I am also prone to bruises and scrapes, but I don't have the sporty excuses that you do. I'm just a klutz :) Two mornings ago, I got out of bed and on my way to the washroom managed to fall UP the stairs and took all the skin off my knee. So you're not alone in sporting this look! (Maybe it'll catch on?)

Awesome Dawn - good for you for going all out with Paintball - the bruises I'm sure will heal soon though I can't help cringing when I see them. I'm all for waistcoats and own several and wear them with both pants and skirts. Your fantastic body really shows it off to perfection.

I love pencil skirts with vests, especially if the sleeves of the top are a bit poufy- totally yummy!

Thanks everyone. I really hope that my bruises heal up soon as well.

Debora, that's what my mum says as well about my bruises, cuts and scars... that I'm worse than I was when I was a kid.

Ele, I am quite clumsy as well. I trip over everything, I walk into tables and chairs, and worse of all, I have ran into glass sliding doors.

R&J, I have an outfit planned. Thank you for your suggestions. :-D

Like I have said before...smart and pretty:) Your outfit is super cute:)
