LOVE this skirt...so does my cat.

Scored this Zac Posen for Target skirt at GW 3 years ago- such a pity that I've only worn it once. If my cat Russell keeps eating it, I may never have the opportunity to wear it on my fantasy date. He's such a hater.




Dress (very tight worn under skirt): Tahari GW, $7.99
Skirt (purposely very sheer): Zac Posen for Target, GW $5.99
Necklace: Dominique Cohen for Target, target.com $14.99
Tights: Exhilaration, Target $4.49
Hat: Merona, Target $14.99

I've been so busy with other projects that I've deserted the Challenge. I'm sorry. But, in my humble opinion, the projects I've been working on are so much more interesting!  If you noticed, I've added new pages to this here blog- Check it out for the out come of those projects!

This Challenge was a bit hard due to lack of a photographer added to the fact that I spend a lot of my time working from home- that negates dressing in photo appropriate clothing. Although, I must say that my vintage and vintage inspired lounge wear is worth a photograph.

BUT! We are in luck! My awesome friend and client Michelle and her professional photographer husband Philip took me and my project on for a couple of outfits!!! So, below are the pro photos and the best I could do with this Challenge.....

60 Day Wardrobe Challenge- Day 5

  

Feeling very 1920's! I'm not one for long dresses since I'm only 5 feet, but this Nicole Miller spoke a vintage sonnet to my heart. The soft floral print and cascading hem is pure romance. Since the top of the dress is cut very low, I paired it with a cashmere wrap sweater I've had for over 7 years. 

I did a video series showcasing this lovely dress... take a look for the full effect! 





Dress: Nicole Miller, Resale Shop- Gratis
Sweater: Banana Republic $39 (Waay before I was frugal.)
Fishnets: Hot Topic $8 (these require a garter!)
Shoes: You've seen these Banana Republic  favorites many times...
