When I was looking at these photos, I
realized that I’ve worn this maxi skirt a lot lately. And now that the weather
has finally decided to turn cold, I can transition it and style it in different
ways.
I wore this outfit last week to class.
After class I had to drop off my CV in some offices and I had expected the
ankle boots I was wearing to hurt my feet but to the contrary, I was just a
little tired from all the stairs I climbed. Which brings me to another point;
buildings in town don’t have functioning lifts!!! Is it just me or is this a
little odd!!! I had to climb stairs to the 7th and 8th
Floors and I was not amused. The cleanliness of the buildings is a whole other
topic.
So this time when I wore this, I wanted to
layer on clothes instead of wearing one warm sweater. I’m not one to freeze and
shine, so I had to learn how to layer without looking bulky and frumpy. I
paired my very versatile, black maxi skirt with a pink t-shirt, black sweater
and purple embellished sweater which was a gift from my mum.
To accessorize, I wore a pink slim belt to
add definition to my waist. When doing research on layering, I learnt that by
adding a belt you create a waistline and prevent looking
like you’ve extra bulk around your waist. For jewellery I wore silver earrings,
black and silver bangles, a black ring. Because of the embellishments on my
sweater I wanted to keep my jewellery to a minimum so I didn’t wear a necklace.
I carried a black handheld bag and wore black ankle boots.
Sorry about the poor quality of the photos. I was in a hurry on this day and only realized much later how bad the pics looked.
