Maddie · Coach

I think Laura Bush would LOVE it.

littlepearl · BCBG

Please don't

Meow · Coach

OK .. I am not getting it. I knew it was bad. I just needed to see your responses in print.

Cali · Kenneth Cole

I like that purple color and black together..but the blouse thing is a little to much of an 80's mess..it looks like it has shoulder pads

deludelu · BCBG

I think my mom used to have that top in 80s.... NO!!!

Karina · Chanel

Kenneth Cole

Actually, it does look like something Princess Diana would have worn in the 80's. Maybe that is why I was attracted to it. I just loved to look at pictures of her clothing.

Before you feel too bad for liking this outfit, Meow: I think we were all a little blinded by the cut and material.

I think the idea behind the outfit is actually really cute. The tailoring and print of the particular clothes there is very matronly, but you can put together something in a similar idea but much cuter, i.e.:

vanderbilt a-line sateen scribble skirt

you can add your own ribbon belt...

Meow · Coach

Halleybird, you are good. I love those outfits. The second one with the black cardigan from ON, black and white BR skirt, and the blue shoes from Dillards just solved a problem I had been having. I have a black and white silk skirt that I have been racking my brain trying to put a top with other than a black top. Seeing that black top with that skirt and those blue shoes makes me want to wear a black top...but, now I have to get those blue shoes. Darn, I just hate having to buy another pair of shoes

I'm getting 80's flashbacks from those football-like shoulder pads. But if you got rid of them and wore a nice fitted cardi with a bow belt and a full skirt it would be nice.

Alegria · Kate Spade

who are you and what did you do with Meow?

bliss · Dooney & Bourke

Meow- I think halleybird's choices are great and fit the concept of what you were trying to do. I just think the ensemble you posted wasn't the best representation of that concept (though I like the colors). I think the 1st skirt halleybird posted is great and I like the last cardigan. Good luck.
