WIW 3/23: Orange and black and leopard and the lost is found

It's nicely cool today, on the way to much warmer later in the week, so I'm seizing the opportunity to wear some of my cooler-weather pieces while I can.

Burnt orange skirt: ASOS c/o goldenpig
Black tee: Target
Black knit blazer: Gibson
Black ballet almost-flats: Life Stride
Leopard belt: Talbots
Cognac satchel: Banana Republic
"Gold" watch: Target

These are the shoes I was wearing when my broken ankle was diagnosed and put in Das Boot, and the right shoe had been missing ever since! I did a big cleanup project around the house over the weekend and finally found it, still in the plastic bag that Das Boot came in! LOL I imagine these shoes will be getting a lot of wear in the coming weeks!

Thanks for looking, and for your candid comments and suggestions!

Nice colour combination. Would love to see this with plum/purple thrown into the mix, too. Love the fuller skirt. Also, like the simple hair and how it curves so nicely around your face.

Oooooh - I really like this Mary. The skirt is a lovely rich color and the addition of the animal print belt is brilliant. Hope the ankle is feeling better every day

Looks great! Nice outfit, love the texture the belt brings in. You look terrific.

Fab combo. I love the kinesio tape on your ankle. Very Spiderwoman. I've had that used on my knees.

What a rich toned outfit. Love the colour of your skirt and the animal print belt. So glad you found your missing shoe as well. You look great!

Mary, you look fab. I love how your belt pulls everything together by picking up the golden tones of your hair, the richer cognac of your bag, and your black top/jacket and footwear. And I may have mentioned before that I covet that wonderful box pleat skirt. Great outfit.

Funny about the missing shoe finally turning up in Das Boot's wrapper

Ooh, I love this look, and second Ruth's comment about the box skirt. Nice colour schemes, and you always find the perfect touches -- in this case your wonderful belt.

I have obviously not been paying enough attention to the forum because I was surprised to read flats in the description and then saw the bandage. Hope you are heeling quickly.

I really like the outfit. I find that shade of burnt orange to be almost neutral since it appears to be a very warm cognac. The shape of the skirt is really nice and works well with the flats since the vertical pleats add the illusion of height that heels would have provided. Really nice Mary.

The skirt is a gorgeous color, and it looks great with the addition of the belt. Burnt orange and leopard print were made to go together, weren't they? I hope your foot continues to heal quickly!

How wonderful that you found your missing shoe. Fun!

A little Autumn in the middle of Spring. FABULOUS, and why not.

Are you missing your heels, Mary? Glad you found the missing shoe.

Ooh love this. As usual. I am always a fan of your outfits. Hope the foot is healing well. You can pull off flats (or das boot) just as well as heels though!

MsMary

Thanks so much, everyone!

Angie, I am definitely missing my heels! But I fear it will be a while -- I tried on high heels the other day and it was definitely a non-starter! Right now I am on the hunt for a pair of red flats!

Deborah

Mary you look fab. Love the shape of that skirt. And you are hitting it out of the ball park with your "flats". Trust the foot is healing up well.

Jaime

I especially like how the belt and bag works with these colors here. And the tape looks like a new kind of lace up flat.

Neel

I really like the skirt and the color palette is fun on you. Hurrah for finding the lost shoe

Gorgeous outfit, as expected from you, Mary! I like the pleated skirt on you just as much as your signature pencil skirts. I like the mix of autumn shades here, too. The black bandage looks artistic and a little edgy to me. Perhaps you'd like to join Shannon and me in the fussy-foot comfort-shoe Naot fan club.

A strikingly sharp, crisp, and proportionally FAB outfit! The colors do read more fall but I love it anyway!
