Aida, I think this may be my favorite outfit ever of yours. And that's saying a lot, because I love so many. It is just so retro-modern perfect.

And I am speechless re: the KS bag.

Love your outfit AND the bag!!! That color is just terrific and the quality of KS bags is top notch! Enjoy!

Aida, you can wear that skirt every single day and I would not get bored by it! It's by far my favorite piece from your wardrobe.

p.s.
Fab bag too!

My goodness ladies, thank you all for the great feedback! I'm sitting here giggling and blushing at work

Lynne, I love the idea of pairing the KS bag with blues! I'm actually wearing it with an orange, navy, brown, and black outfit today

Angie, ok thanks! I gently stuffed all of my bags this morning and now they don't fit on their shelf; went from cramming 12 on the shelf to... nicely fitting 4. Doh.

Jean, thank you very much! I can definitely see you wearing oxfords with midis. The silhouette with the fuller skirt reminds me a bit of the 50s full skirts with saddle shoes, but I loved the nerdier vibe the oxfords gave.

Hannah, it was so great to meet you! Always love meeting fellow techie gals. You could have touched my skirt, hehe! It's got a lovely felted-cashmere like feel to it (I think it's a wool blend?). How was the wedding? Did you wow everyone with your gorgeous self and dress? I do hope you'll post WIWs soon, we'll get you out of those torn jeans for work in no time :}

Love your outfit. The colour palette is very subtle and fine.

Oxfords with a midi, great idea! When I can wear oxfords again I'm going to try this look out. It's refreshing to see a longer length skirt with flats for a change. I constantly see longer skirts with sky high heels. Not a look I can do everyday.

Gorgeous Kate Spade bag. I have a pebbled leather bag, in white along with a matching wallet, and I am amazed at how well it's held up over time. And it barely has any stains on it too.

Such a fabulous, charming, distinctive look! I love it! The new bag is really delicious--that red will look so gorgeous with your dark hair!

Great midi, Aida!

The new KS bag is incredible. I love many things about it and the means in which you acquired: great color!, shape, size, you bought it amongst friends and it even has a forum twinnie! Also, I loved reading about your excitement for it and the swapping the contents immediately!

Thanks ladies!

Lisa, I like longer skirts with the high high heels but for a full day of shopping it's not terribly practical Do you have a midi skirt/dress already? I can see you rocking one with oxfords!

Heather, I love the story behind the bag too! When I look at it not only do I enjoy how pretty it is but I also remember the day and it makes me smile There is another amusing part to the story actually: The strap is adjustable but I couldn't make it go. So I enlisted Hannah, and then Andrea, and then more of us, and finally the SA came over and made it work; turns out we were all being WAY to gentle ^^
