And I am learning so much from you about cutting and fitting when you (me) have a sway back.<br /><br />They may not be quite the colour you'd like for this ensemble, however your shoes are just gorgeous! Heel height, heel finish and the leather finish are wonderful.<br /><br /><br />With care and love, and sending many huggles to you and the houndies,<br /><br />Michelle xxxxxxxx and a sleeping Zebby Cat (he's warming up my side of "our" queen sized bed, bless himMickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-63514996753154388082011-04-30T06:06:30.832-04:002011-04-30T06:06:30.832-04:00I like the skirt!

I ...I really like the skirt, and the whole outfit. I agree that you need darker shoes, to match the skirt, but I agree with Claire that the skirt looks nice. Maybe you didn't like it because the fabric stretches a wee bit during the course of the day, and so alters the fit? I hate when that happens. As for the bow, my grandmother, who had fabulous style, always said that the bow should have big, floppy loops to make it feminine, not looking like a retarded bow tie.<br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend!Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-21337135523986670682011-04-29T12:13:57.135-04:002011-04-29T12:13:57.135-04:00It's all fab.

I know skirt fitting is giving you fits, but I think this looks good. Being in the midst of pants fitting myself, anyone trying to fit ANYTHING has my full empaty. :-)<br /><br />Like the burnt orange cardigan possibility.Claire S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11825049555257941107noreply@blogger.com
