First day of summer temp Happily wearing my red vintage skirt with navy and white dots. I wore it a lot last spring and summer, but this year it has just been hanging there and I had no clue what to do with it (besides adding a white tee)

Jayne - thank you for starting this thread - I would not have chosen denim by myself

I love the work look! It's perfect

How about a pair of sporty ballet flats instead of the sneakers for MOTG?

That skirt is great! I love the silk blouse and metallic shoes. Very pretty.

What Angie said! The work look is super, the denim really looks great with these colors. Perhaps flat loafers with the MOTG version? These canvas shoes aren't doing it for me for you

Love this style on you! The dress down/dress up contrast keep it modern and give it flair (a must for your style), but the look is also unabashedly pretty. Yay!

Fab work look and I love those shoes:). It's a beautiful skirt. I do like Angie's suggestion re the MOTG look. The right shoes and it will look awesome:)

Thanks Angie, KathyL, Aida, Beth Ann, Scarlet, Jayne and Ramya!

I like changing the canvas shoes for ballet flats! I think I had denim on my mind, so that's why I grabbed the canvas shoes. I need to work on my casual wardrobe.

Wearing the work outfit was like happy sparkling bobbles, so super glad you liked it too

Aida - I really appreciate your honesty and your eye for improvements!

Jayne - the pleasure is all mine. Again - thanks for posting

Thank you Deborah and Kirti! It is incredible how much impact one detail can have on the whole outfit.

I also realized that this is in fact a red / white / blue outfit, which I said I did not sport. Well, I seem to have moved on since Angie's post July 4th: http://youlookfab.com/2012/07/.....ay-or-nay/

Love the work version! So glad you get to wear your pretty skirt. I agree about the canvas shoes. Swapping them out will make it a super MOTG outfit.

Thanks Alicat and Suz!

I would not have been able to put either of these outfits together without YLF inspirations and suggestions. So happy to be a part of this community

Love this skirt on you Harmonica! It works perfectly with the denim jacket and tank - love the draping on that BTW.
