I recently read Clinton Kelly's book Oh No She Didn't: The Top 100 Style Mistakes Women Make and How to Avoid Them
. Some of his advice is good, like that which focuses on finding a good fit. A lot of the advice is just bitchy. I certainly know that a little judgmental cattiness can be fun, but ultimately you don't become a happier person by criticizing others. I maintain that women (and men) should dress in a way that makes them happy. Clinton would probably not approve of this outfit. Probably for a lot of reasons, but especially because of all the lobsters.
Cardigan, thrifted; camisole, Sam's Club; skirt, thrifted; tights, Walmart; shoes, Payless Shoes, earrings, Claire's; necklace, thrifted.
Of course I paired a lobster print skirt with a lobster necklace and lobster purse. One piece would be a novelty, two might be an error in judgement, but combining all three is obviously intentional. I'm allergic to real lobsters, so I have to make do with sartorial ones.
I've met a couple of women lately who routinely pair footless tights with dresses, and they tend to look lovely. I am trying footless tights with this skirt because it is short and I'm volunteering this afternoon. I want to make sure I'm covered for whatever I end up doing.
Full disclosure: I didn't carry this bag as my purse today. I had my knitting in it.
