Picture 1) So I really liked the skirt in look #18 and spent a long time trying to layer full midi skirts to get a similar effect. It ended up looking more 'hello dolly trumpet skirt with petticoat' though, so I decided instead to focus on the other part I liked: the swiss-cheese with underlayer aspect, and move the triangular shape upwards in the outfit design.
Picture 2) I also liked the pattern mixing with the spotted jacket sleeves and tights in look #10. (I want some awesome tights like these, but haven't found the ideal ones yet).
Picture 3) I ended up with this outfit, which seemed like it would work well to go out to a good tapas bar with DH. Unfortunately he was feeling ill, so instead I went to Safeway in the rain :P, but I'm saving this idea for the future.
Picture 4-5) Details of the embroidered pearl gray/pale blue on the black cotton coat, and the lazer-cut ponte knit skirt with pearl gray silky lining.
Picture 6) bonus of coat which I love like a thousand firey suns
turtleneck sweater short-sleeved top - Marshalls?
lazercut pencil skirt - Ross
boots - red light clothing exchange (resale shop)
coat - Niza Moda, a Spanish brand with a smallish collection. Bought on a trip to Malaga.
