WIW. Midi and body con, but not new.

WIW a few days ago. Had the advantage of not being too crushable for the trip to work in my backpack while cycling.
This handed down skirt usually feels too big, though I wear it anyway, but with my weight up at the moment, it fits better at the top, though looking at the photo makes me wonder about the fit on the thighs.
Any comments or criticism welcome.

Looking good.

I like the side detail on the skirt and the way your necklace picks up the same colors. Fit looks great. Have you tried it with any darker tops?

I have worn it with a dark top too, Kathie, and that would probably look better with the skirt than this higher contrast top. I am moving away from dark tops near my face though.

Nice! Vaguely retro 70s and great colours with your hair.

Very nice! Well-fitting items of clothing are always classy, IMO.

What an interesting skirt! Though it’s always somewhat demoralizing to put on an item that is usually too big, and realize it fits. Grrrr.

I love this outfit on you, that is a great skirt and not tight anywhere, it looks perfect. Your sweater covers the waist band, so I cannot tell if the skirt is too big.

You are not alone in having put on a little extra weight over the winter months, I am experiencing this too!

Thanks everyone.
Suz - the retro 70's look is definitely there. There's also another reference. The fastening on the side dates to (so I was told) a post 9/11 fashion for fireman inspired details.

Bijou - I think the waist is still is little too big, so I can't tuck (and you can't see) But it is a better length. I'm trying to take the winter weight off now we have this lovely weather coming up!
