Hi Ladies,
This is a new skirt that I came across "by accident" ;). It has a raw and asymmetric hem .. And simply had to come home with me.
This is an attempt at combining my style preferences with touches of structure (jacket) and classic (blouse) for a more formal work day.
Does it work?
Thanks for looking and your thoughts much appreciated.
xxx Deborah

Ooh- does it have panels Deborah?
I love pieces that are interesting from the back too- what is the material?

So pretty. Can we see it with more fluid top? I think the jacket here is taking some of the limelight of the skirt's cut.
Deborah replied 9 years ago
Lyn it's a faux leather with a back ponte panel. From Rivers of all places!!
Ornella, yes! I have worn with a fluid top but wanted to try a specifically work look.

Lots of angles here- love the way you have styled this skirt!!! This is so work appropriate and so you, Deborah!

Deborah - this is such a great piece and a fab outfit. The angular lines of your hair look wonderful with the angles of the jacket and skirt even the pleats on the blouse. Edgy and classic, refined but fashion forward, butt kicking ladylike. I don't think it can get better than that!! What did Master 11 say?

Absolutely a huge fan! This is just the very best career/work look. Whoever designed this skirt did so with you in mind. 10++

I loved it even before I saw the back panels and then I loved it even more. Great jacket and top (and hair!) too!

I love that skirt. It looks great on you.

Agree completely with Gryffin... the angles in your hair are repeated and link up with the skirt for literally a "head to toe" look.
Even the jacket repeats the angles - in a Kibbe Dramatic look.
It suits you - and BTW : Your hair color is fantastic !!... she did a wonderful job. This color is cooler and your skin looks very good in it. Be careful not to wash too much. I have found that toner is very temporary - tends to wash out easy - even easier than the semi's- my personal experience only.

The skirt is great on you and its structure is very work appropriate when paired with the jacket. Nicely styled and I love the shape of your hair! I assume it's getting chilly near you, so trying sheerer hose, perhaps with a bit of texture may be impractical, though I am curious to see how it would offer a different look.

I really do not know how you find these pieces in Rivers, I never can. Next shopping meet up must have Rivers on the menu, so that you can teach me how to shop.

So fab! It fits your style perfectly, has a fun asymetrical hem, faux leather, and I bet the ponte panel keeps it comfortable. Of course it had to come home with you!

LOVE this, Deborah!
You've managed to look business-like but still have some edginess. I love the way the skirt echoes the line of your hair, and the contrast of the white blouse with the black. Super look!
Lyn D. replied 9 years ago
A hidden gem for sure!
I have 2 shirts from Rivers coming up to their 3rd season- who knew?

Wow, Deborah, that skirt is fantastic! I love the avant-garde look that's going on here. Minimal color palette, various textures and angles. And your new hair cut works so well with this look!
Deborah, your new skirt looks super luxe! I love the cream blouse with your hair too.

That skirt is awesome Deb. You look super fab.
Aida replied 9 years ago
Well of course that lovely had to go home with you! It looks perfect for you. I adore all the interesting lines and angles in this outfit. Your whites and creams worked beautifully with your hair before but they work even more dramatically with the new hair!
Joy replied 9 years ago
Definitely works for your elegant style. The new skirt provides a wonderful contrasting texture that makes you look like a walking work of art.
