So... I feel very transitional. Not seasonally, but stylistically. I got a 50% coupon for my entire purchase from ModCloth. Sometimes ModCloth is a little too ‘vintage fan girl’ for me. (Nothing against anyone who loves and wears that style!) But I’ve gotten some really pretty dresses from them. And since I am down to the very bottom of the closet barrel, I decided that it was such a good deal that I couldn’t pass.

This skirt caught my eye. It seems to be a quarter or half circle skirt, as it’s not cut flared even though it does have side seams. The colors I admit are not my first love, a bit warmer than I usually wear or choose. But I love the satin lining! The belt I feel kinda indifferent about. Overall, the skirt is very comfortable, with elastic in the back and functional side pockets. I don’t love the matching belt. But it’s easy enough to substitute it if I wish.

What do you all think? I feel I still don’t have much to wear it with. The vibe is a bit more 70s than I thought it would be. But I feel it would be really pretty with boots and booties and blouses. It reminds me of the Vutton editorial photo of the woman in the turtleneck which has always struck me.

Currently I own the following to wear with it:
Black embroidered chiffon boho blouse
Chambray button down shirt (in photo)
Short, vintage inspired handknit sweater (currently knitting it and will be finished with it soon; see photos for finished sweater and in progress. ☺️ )

I still love bohemian. Somehow bohemian just doesn’t feel quite womanly enough to me now. Perhaps because I wore it for 6 or 7 years prior to having a baby? I’ve found myself loving more towards ladylike and romantic. Christina Hendricks and her style has really caught my eye this autumn. It’s just more polished and glamorous. I feel I’m really searching and trying a lot. Anyone else go through such a fashion transition?
