For this week’s Two-fer Tuesday, I’m focused on another skirt: my favorite “vegan leather” blue beauty. Of course, it’s a little tricky to make a light blue, studded leather skirt look too different – no matter what you do to it, it’s pretty noticeable. But I do think I was able to achieve a new feel with the second outfit, and the overall impact of the two looks was very different.
In option 1, I was trying to go casual – as casual as you can be in a flouncy leather skirt. So, I paired it with a gilded sweater/sweatshirt and some flat oxfords. (And, of course, my favorite necklace from Rahab’s Rope.)
I’m not sure why this picture turned out so dark; I even lightened it in my photo editor/collage app. Ugh, photography… You get the point.
In option 2, I took my old lady floral Peter Pan collar blouse that I really love, added my over-the-knee boots, and took this picture at the end of the day so I would look as tired and disheveled as possible. Every once in a while, I wear an outfit that looks much better in real life than on camera. This is one of those times. I promise it was cute – lots of people said so. But despite how it photographed, I couldn’t skip posting the picture because then it would just be a one-fer Tuesday, and that is not nearly as catchy. Focus on the earrings.
What do you think? Different looks, or basically the same thing, disguised as creativity? What would you wear with this skirt? Let’s talk!
