As I mentioned earlier when I tip-toed into the territory, I’d like to start featuring special outfits from certain days of outings. I did this along with my 4th of July post, but this entry’s dedicated to just an ensemble from this past weekend.

First, I’d like to make a note that this top is very hard to put on, with its underlayer of a tank, it gets all contorted. It could actually be a better candidate for last week’s Carnivale. Que Será!

Ruched top with sequin trim: DKNY Jeans
Lace-top camisole: Arden B
Cropped tweed jacket: Parameter (from Bluefly.com)
Bias-striped black skirt: Gap
Black sandals: Easy Spirit
Metallic Croc-Embossed Pocket Bag: Liz Claiborne Leather (bought at outlet in FL)
Necklace: Old, from my mums. I always wear it with this top because they really go well.

I had a Dr.’s appointment on Friday and was going out after. I wanted to wear a ruched top to conceal any weight I’m still carrying from recent “mistakes.” Fighting weight is tough. My doctor thought I looked great, though!

I also thought if I wore an A-line skirt it would thin my waist, as well.

I wanted just a light jacket to cover up too, for indoor AC of course, but I didn’t think much about matching, I just had to get out the door. It worked out alright, I think.

The rest was all to match. The purse isn’t what I would really want to go out with as I was heading to an upscale sunglass boutique, and I do like to impress, but it worked out. It really matched best with it’s metallic sheen to go with both brown and black. I didn’t feel like my black satchel.

Here is a detail shot so you can see the necklace, although it didn’t capture well.
