So sorry I'm so late back to the party. I was out all afternoon and don't know my YLF password, lol! Thanks to all for such lovely comments!!
Angie I was definitely thinking red. I have a red cardigan but am not sure if it's short enough. If not, I may be able to belt it to achieve the look. My heels are patent ankle straps--looking forward to wearing them. Any ideas of where to find cropped sweaters/tops that don't look like they're from the jr. department? I haven't seen many. Oh, the skirt is from White House Black Market. I was a tiny bit worried that the trend may be over, but I think WHBM is more on trend than that!
Smittie I can't get on board with sneakers with dressier skirts/dresses either!
LisaP You may be able to find pointy toe sling backs that are comfy. These are just extra pointy!! They've never been comfortable-even when I had them stretched. (Which is a shame b/c they're Donald Pliner, and isn't he a comfort line??)
Cardiff Girl I'd kill for a wrap blouse (or 5)! Have you seen them anywhere? I've only seen a few with way too much sleeve detail to really work.
efbgen Yes! Pockets!
UmmLila That's hilarious--I agree. It's interesting how much more skirt there was to the larger size.
