So I think I'm over the fit and flare, knee length, slightly retro, very pretty, femme dresses that I've been wearing for the last 20 years (and wore yesterday). This leaves me not at all sure where to go next, but I figured I should try a different type of dress and looked in my closet to see if I had any!
Pic 1 - So today I started with a new (from last summer) dark grey Eileen Fisher tank maxi dress, layered over black skating leggings for warmth, and short black boots.
Pic 2 - It's winter, so for warmth, I added a heavy black cotton pullover (yes another one pilfered from the husband), a silk scarf in jewel tones, and some hippy dippy pearl dangly earrings.
Pic 3 - For outerwear the teal leather jacket.
I was actually much happier in this getup than I expected to be. The pullover is too big, so it was not as flattering as it could have been, but I do think the whole effect was more flattering that it photographed. The ensemble moved very well - the skirt and the scarf fluttered and were quite femme, and the boots and pullover were solid and butch. I was extremely comfortable, both physically and psychologically. Huh!
Thanks for looking - comments and suggestions welcome.
