SILVER, IVORY, AND BLACK MAKE A GREAT COMBINATION
Today, I’m styling one item, the buffalo plaid skirt, in several different ways. Normally, I don’t wear a lot of skirts or dresses, but I must have been in the mood one week since I’ve had several to photograph and put on the blog. I’m also going to be sharing some of the results on the survey, so be sure to read the entire blog for those statistics.
Like yesterday’s blog post, I’m not going to talk in between every photo since there are a LOT of photos. Too many pictures were one of the “would like to see change” comments that several people mentioned. I actually figured that people liked to see more photos instead of fewer, but I guess that I was wrong. I do like to show the outfit from as many angles as possible, so maybe if I’m not as chatty, you’ll like it better.
Before we start, I am 5’6″ tall, and I wear a med/large in tops, a 10-12 in dresses, and an 8-10 in jeans. I’ll tell you the size of the item that I’m wearing in the links. Anything that is in BOLD and a different color than black is a link Click on that and it will take you to the item that I’m wearing.
Certain items are from my closet, and they are no longer available for purchase. When possible, I’ll try to find you some similar items and link them below the original link. Now, let’s get started, and I hope you enjoy this post!!!

This is totally my style!! I love boots with skirts!! This classic style is fabulous!!
I’ve always loved the look of a short skirt with opaque tights and boots! There’s something about it that makes you feel sassy! Love the look on you; particularly the outfit with the silver vest. So pretty!
I’m mulling over the skirt. Being only 5’2″ and a little wider than you are around the hips, I don’t know if the horizontal plain would do me any favors. May have to stop into a Talbot’s store and try it on!
Great post!
Of course, trying to please everyone is impossible, but, for the record, I like all of the pictures and all of the writing. I love seeing outfits from different angles, and I really find it helpful when you discuss the features you like about each item. I also really enjoy your playful, funny writing style.
You are looking great and such an encouragement to me. I will turn 62 in June and need to lose a few pounds, but you have done it . . . . and so can I! Thank you
I LOVED these outfits today. Oh My . . . You looked so good in them!! Nice job! 🙂
You look FABULOUS! My favorite is the skirt with black tights and boots! Youthful, classy, classic, stylish! Sharp outfit!
I love the plaid skirt! I would probably wear the black sweater, but I love the ivory sweater on you.
Hi You have slender hips and look so nice in slim skirts and pants. What do you recommend for those of us that are more pear shaped with wider hips? It would be nice to have some options displayed that are recommended for those of us in this category. Thanks.
This has to be one of my favorites. I love these colors.
I really like your look today. I like the skirt and the tights and the black boots with the white sweater or black turtle neck. Great on you. I shop at Talbots…….can you get credit even if it is not something you have put in a link but a totally different item?
