WIW: Because MsMary reminded me ....

.....that I had this skirt too ... She wore her fab camo pullover with it. I have paired mine with my new navy striped hi low hem sweater (F&F). The sweater has shiny stripes which is not quite clear in the pics. The outfit is a result of Angie's relaxed pencil skirt ensemble.

I wore this for the church sevice today. The temps here are still in their 90s outside but the church was freezing. And this sweater is 100% cotton, I should have taken a topper. Oh well. But it was perfect for the school run and then some grocery shopping.

I was going to wear my fab glitter boots with this outfit (3) (Opening Ceremony/DH bought it from an in house sale). It is a gorgeous colour! They matched the stripes on the sweater too :). But then I decided it was too *showy* for church and changed into my snakeskin print ballet flats (Claudia Ciuti). What do you think? These boots are definitely statements

My studded white handbag (Steve Madden) completed the outfit.

Am I wearing any essentials at all? According to me these are all statements! What do you think? Too many statements?

After I returned home from the afternoon school run ... I made a trip to the ER with DS2 for a pulled elbow O_O. He managed to twist his hand by awkwardly putting his entire body weight on it while just sitting on the floor! Poor guy is having a hard time with doctor visits! I changed into my BFs for the doctor run. DS is fine and dandy after the ortho did the pull and twist method of setting the bone. Hectic day to say the least!

Thanks for looking and commenting as always. Have a great Sunday x

First of all you look terrific. But poor DS! Anyway those gorgeous booties and the bag are definite statements, but I think the top and skirt might be essentials or perhaps regulars? Interested to see what others think!

Ouch! Poor DS.

What a fab rendition of Angie's formula. I think that maybe the skirt is and essential? The gorgeous boots are definitely a statement and are fab. The shoes you went with are lovely too. Great proportions to my eye, Looks good Neel!

Neel

Thank you shevia and DianeG! DS says thank you too ... For the commiserations!

The reason why I thought the skirt wasn't an essential is because ... I don't wear skirts often. They don't fall into my essentials list. They could be regulars though? Because I need them for a change

MsMary

Yikes! Poor DS!

I love this outfit! I have a navy-and-white striped sweater, too, and I love to team it with that skirt!! You look fab!

And I say there's nothing wrong with an all-statement outfit!

Mellllls

you look fabulous!

Ow! Glad he's okay!

I love that sweater and it works really well with the skirt. The boots are definitely (gorgeous) statements!

Astrid

Poor DS, I'm glad he's okay!

Love your outfit, you look great! The booties are awesome and work well with the rest of the look, but I get why you went with the ballet flats.

Gorgeous renditions, Neel. Both the flats and booties are fab with the combination. You rock.

Poor DS. Sending healing thoughts to the little guy. xo

Suz

Fantastic outfit both ways! I'd say the sweater is a regular, the skirt is an essential, the footwear (esp. booties) statement, and the bag a statement. Not too many statements at all, and beautifully balanced!

Poor DS! I hope he is okay. If it will make him feel any better, you can tell him that when my DD was 3, she dislocated her elbow while we were sitting reading a book!!

Perfect! Love the sweater with the skirt. Your poor boys. We just bought a bucket thing that ices injuries - it never ends with boys.

Elly

I love this on you. That is one fab sweater-- perfect current shape for the pullover and pencil "de-bombshelling" look.

Great outfit. I'd wear the boots to church!

Thank you for all the outfit love ladies

MsMary - Glad I have your approval to pair navy with this green ^_^… At least I got the colors right!

Angie - Thank you for the healing vibes :). DS needs them!

Suz - Awww poor thing! I am still a bit dismissive about it all. Hard to believe they just sit there and manage to dislocate a bone!

AG - Nooo! I thought it was supposed to get easier?! Ack!

This is fabulous Neel, I really like both renditions. The proportions and drape are bang on.

Your poor DS :(. Hopefully it will heal quickly.

Oh, I am sorry to hear about your DS. It is so funny how an everyday event the wrong way can end up damaging. My mom ( who is 78 ) , put her hand down a couple of weeks ago to get out of bed and sprained her wrist and strained a muscle all the way to the elbow ( sounds a lot like what happened to DS2 ). : (

I also love you both outfits ! I love the color combo and you have fab legs. You can never go wrong with Ms. Mary's reminders. : )

I think that the boots for church depend on how dressy your church is. I can tell you that at our church, those would be fine for Mother's or Father's day mass or Easter. But overall , our church is sooooo casual that even the first outfit would render you "dressy". So I say that it depends.
