12.14.09 - Outfit double take

So we're not all lucky enough to live in Australia during December & therefore not able to strut around outside with bare arms and legs?  No problem at all!  Add a little warmth to this look by wearing a vintage high waisted wool skirt. Paired with a neutral ruffled chiffon blouse, your favorite (wool) tights, and a perfect pair of heels or boots.  I think this look is quite acheivable even in the middle of winter.  I don't care if you're "not supposed" to wear light, white, sheer fabrics or even lace in the middle of winter. In the right proportions, I think they can work quite well.  (Even if they're only seen indoors, or worn in milder California weather!)

Here are a couple 70s wool skirts, that I believe balance the chiffon blouse quite well.  Very similar to that lovely outfit on the Sartorialist, I would wear any of the three!  At any rate both skirts will be up in the boutique within the next couple days.  As for the chiffon blouse, I believe it is from Forever 21.  And the brown boots are made by Jessica Simpson in the "Yana" style. They're my absolute favs!
