ok all, remember when rachel bilson was on the cover of lucky and in the spread inside she wore a skirt as a dress and totally rocked it? well, i tried it w/ the green tulip skirt that's st's pick of the week w/ my new shoes and i think it works but i feel like now i need some type of accessory at the neckline. sigh, i need to get a digicam so i can show you guys a pic of me in it. maybe i can borrow one this weekend...stay tuned!
I think it would totally work. I think you need an accessory too. Either a belt or a longer necklace something like this. Or you could layer a couple of gold necklaces with some charms on them.
I think it will be cute, but you need something to keep it from looking maternity. When SJP wore that dress she was pregnant and definitely looked it in my opinion. I think either a belt/ribbon or a cardigan/shawl will help it not give you the pregnant look (which this dress/skirt might not do that to begin with).

yeah I have to agree with this..
I think it needs a belt of some sort...and I love the necklace mckenke posted
heatherlynn, you're totally right, she was pregnant back then. and the skirt/dress pretty much hides my figure as well, but i dunno maybe that's ok since i want the focal point to be the shoes?
mckenke, FABULOUS necklace, thank you. heatherlynn, you're totally right, she was pregnant back then. and the skirt/dress pretty much hides my figure as well, but i dunno maybe that's ok since i want the focal point to be the shoes? argh, i need a digicam!
Go with your gut on this one. I'm sure it looks fabulous!

are you serious? you could wear ANYTHING with those shoes & it would look great. I'd wear maybe a thin necklace if any - i wouldn't want to take attention away from those shoes.
I concur, with all of these statements.

You got the shoes!!!! How could you get the shoes and not tell us!!! Did I miss something? Those shoes are awesome - and I think the outfit is cute and should work -
great outfit. i would definitely put a belt with it. when i do the skirt as dress, i almost always wear a belt since the look (if worn incorrectly) can make you look frumpy & shapeless. my gut instinct would be to go with something on the thin side. like this
(it's actually drapery cord) and maybe wrap it around twice... i think it would give you shape, but not overpower the look.
what a cool idea for that skirt! it might even be cute over jeans like that too - I'll have to play with it when I get mine (I ordered the whole outfit!) I'm liking the idea of thin gold chains - they would complement the outfit, but not compete with it.
LOVE the shoes BTW - so glad you took the plunge and bought them!
