The challenge, "Heat Wave Appropriate," is
"to create an outfit that accounts for the various environmental factors that plague us in the summer...[to show] how you dress when it's 90 degrees outside and 65 degrees inside."Here is my quick post:
To shorten this skirt or not? That is my question. :)

| Top: Kohls reversible tank (option of high crew neck or this lower square neck) Skirt: Carolina Herrera (Similar here and here) Shoes: Christian Dior (See here) Bag: Classic Black Chanel flap w/ GHW Belt: Vintage Versace If it is cold in the office or I have to run to court I swap the belt for a necklace and throw on a blazer. This look would be really cute with a fun colored top. With the black on black, a necklace is needed to add some interest. |

My outfit in motion
Below is a photo taken the (hot) day I wore this outfit. Due to the humidity, my hair was a little como si dice frizzy?

I notice that my skirt may actually benefit from being shortened further. I already had it hemmed 5+ inches from the original length. My tailor wanted to take it up more but I kind of like having different length options... Any suggestions?
The skirt fits your curves nicely! I agree with the tailor, that hemming it up a bit more...maybe right under the knee cap for better proportion in lengthening those legs :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestion Olyvia. I guess my hesitation is because I already cut off so much (it originally completely covered my calves) that I felt that maybe it was meant to be longer?
ReplyDeleteIdk... I have a love/hate relationship with this length.
Welcome to the PFC group! I agree with Olivia-- the skirt would be even more stunning on you if it came up just a wee bit more. It is gorgeous and seems like it will be a very versatile piece in your wardrobe. :) Kiki
ReplyDeleteI agree with Olyvia and Kiki, it would make it look just a bit more polished. what a beautiful outfit though! So flattering! Great job on the PFC!
ReplyDeleteElaine, Kiki, and Olyvia, thank you all for commenting on my post and especially for offering advice. I've thought it over and we shall use this picture as a "before" shot. I am going to have it taken up approximately 2 inches!!
ReplyDeleteI think the skirt is still a bit too long. Maybe you can hem it all up for one or two inches?
