In My Closet 58

Despite appearances, this is not a dress, but a top and skirt combination. I bought the skirt online and then when I went to the store to pick it up, found the obviously matching top.


Top and skirt ~
Manufacturer/line/store: Fashion Bug
Date: June 2010

Accessories are yellow bow, black-and-white jewelry, white belt, and yellow sling-back peep-toe pumps.


Both these portraits are so good, I couldn't decide which to post here:

Isn't this a terrific dress? I got it during a season when black-and-white animal prints seemed to be much in fashion. The belt it came with never seemed to fit me tight enough, so I use the one you see here...and doesn't it all do wonders for my figure?

Accessories are black rosette headband, red jewelry, and black patent pumps.

In My Closet 56

Here's an interesting outfit...the only time I bought a piece of clothing specifically to go with a pair of shoes. I saw these shoes in Payless and fell in love with them ~ then realized I didn't own a single piece of purple clothing. I searched for several months before finding this top. The skirt goes with a lot of things.

Another favorite dress...this "orange splash" is a lovely summer look.

Accessories are yellow bow, chunky and silver jewelry, and lynx-print mary-janes.

Is the hint of pink bra that shows in some of these too much?
