Yesterday's blog post made me want to wear my midis!
1-4: I'm going to a Chinese banquet event tonight, so took the opportunity to wear my red trumpet midi. I paired it with my old standby black shell, brocade print jacket, and flat booties. Accessorized with a long multi-strand necklace and my Kate Spade floral tote (because I am lugging around all my work stuff today as well).
To casualize this for work (photo #5), I was inspired by today's blog post to swap out the dressy jacket for my old black maxi cardigan. I really like the effect over the trumpet skirt.
Photo #6 is with the shell tucked into the skirt. I kind of like the effect/proportions (and I think it's more in keeping with current trends) but I don't like it at all without the jacket (I realize this is mostly psychological but it is what it is) and I expect that it will get hot enough at the banquet to remove the jacket at some point.
7-9: Yesterday's outfit, featuring another gored trumpet midi skirt (yes this is a favorite silhouette!)- this blue one is jersey and a lot more casual than the red one. I paired this one with oxfords, a blue and white floral blouse and a new handknit linen lace cardigan. This was supposed to be my summer cardigan but of course I didn't get it finished until October. Luckily it's been warm enough this week to actually wear it!
10-11 are photos of the 2 outfits with outerwear, since I know some people were asking about coats with midis. Both feature my knee-length black trench coat, which I think is perfect for a midi. Both of the scarves are handknit as well.
