Rae's skirt came out to play! WIW

I LOVE this skirt! I loved it when I first saw it on Rae (IRL) as well as on the forum. (Rae, can you find your pic and post it here on this thread?)

OK - so, for some unknown reason to me - Rae brought this skirt to the YLF swap meet and I snatched that baby up like a lineman picking up a fumbled football! (It was NOT pretty!)

Today, I brought it out to play and I was delighted to realize that this skirt is going to easily fit in with the rest of the gang in my closet!

Today I experimented - wearing it with a denim shirt, brown belt and brown oxfords - I also tried it with some ankle booties with a short heel and loved it, but forgot to take pics of that - I will do that another day.

The reason that I love this skirt is because it gives me hips and a booty. I feel like a mix of hourglass and pear with this skirt - and its just a great feeling! I mean just LOOK at my hips! I have some!

The flat shoes, rather than heeled, was an experiment for me. Do you think I should skip the oxfords and go with a heeled shoe instead? Also, I think I would like this better with a darker denim shirt - but I don't have one, so this has to do.

Details:
Denim shirt - Anthropologie
Belt - don't know
Skirt - Rae!
Shoes - Sesto Meucci - squared toed - I love 'em!
Necklace - Banana Republic

Thank you for looking - any feedback is welcome - as well as other ways to style this skirt. (2nd to last pic - my "Wild Child," last pic - my "Goldy Girl.")

OH, your kitties are SOOO sweet. Sorry, you outfit pales by comparison : )

Honestly, I can't believe that you scored a skirt that you'd been coveting. How great is that? How great is Rae? I think it looks aMAZing on you. I dig it with the flats.

Marley, it is WONDERFUL on you! And you look so much more comfortable in it than I was. Love how you added the rugged shirt and belt and the flat oxfords - very cool. I will pop my pic onto the thread when I get home; I can't find my original post. So happy that skirt went home with you!

Jaime

Well I love the skirt and I love the shoes and the picture with your cats are fab plus!

krishnidoux

This skirt looks absolutely wonderful on you. And good for you to wear it with these chic flats!

Deborah

This looks fantastic! I think I prefer the oxfords to a heeled shoe Marley. The proportions are perfect. Even with the flats shoes you ahve created a very slim, long line. Stunning with a touch of edge. Love it.

*cheering* I'm not sure why, but the song "I'm sexy and I know it" is playing in my head as I look at these pics! You're right about this skirt, it totally turns you into a long legged and very pretty pear. Look at those hips! And that booty! Ladies, step aside, Marley has entered the building! The flat oxfords look very modern with this. I wouldn't change a thing, although I'm sure you have some equally fab heeled booties. Have fun playing with it.

KILLER! *Love* the oxfords.

And Goldy Girl adds to your style quotient

I wouldn't change anything in this outfit Marley - it is FANTASTIC! Girl - you are HOT HOT HOT in that skirt! And I love the pairing with the denim shirt and the more rugged belt. I think the oxfords are perfect with this.

Marley, you look wonderful - more evidence of a successful swap! The oxfords are perfect.

I love the pencil skirt with denim shirt! Such a great combo!

Here's the skirt in its previous home - I think I only wore it twice, which just wasn't fair to the poor skirt. I think the fact of the matter is that I have plenty of booty on my own; it looks so much better on Marley!

LOVE how you've styled it here, Marley! The flat oxfords are awesome, and much funkier than a pump would be. It looks like a pretty versatile skirt, I think any of your blouses would worked tucked in the way you've done here (fitted, loose, boxy, you name it). I could also see it with a chunky knit sweater, a shrunken blazer, a denim vest, a high-low breezy top, tall gray boots, lots of cream... Maybe not all those things at once

(And YAY for a Marley outfit post I have missed youuu!)

Jenava

I love it just how you have it. I like the color of the shirt and I ADORE it with the oxfords!

Marley

Hey Everyone - thanks for your kind comments . Rae - I still think it looks awesome on you, but I'm not going to try to convince you of that because I've laid claim to the skirt!!!!! Aida thank you for the other suggestions. I agree with you - this skirt is going to be very versatile for me - can't wait to try it with some other things! Oh - and Angie? You know your "killer" comment makes my day! Thank you!

You look really cool in this outfit Marley. The denim shirt and oxfords take the look into effortless heaven, just right for casual doings. It's kind of got a sexy librarian thing to it too. You look hourglassy here. But sorry, you didn't quite make it to pear territory.

I am fondling all of my swap finds but unfortunately it's still really hot here, like it got to 100 again today. So the numerous longer-sleeved tops I scored are going to have to wait.

goldenpig

Yay for Rae and the swap sisterhood! You look fantastic in this skirt and the whole ensemble is almost as lovely as your smile! It was so great to meet you Marley!

You all made out like bandits. It's so nice to see you post!

Claudia

Marley, love the skirt on you and how you've styled it. Way cool.

P.S. Gorgeous cats, W.C. looks like an exotic -- that tail is crazy fierce.
