Look Book: Midi Length Skirts & Late Afternoons...

Sep 20, 2011

Hey guys! Well, the hot weather pretty much came & went since my last post. What was that I said about enjoying every last minute of summer?! We sadly had to cancel our camping trip due to the heavy rain we've been having. Sigh, but fingers crossed for an island getaway this fall. I'm dreaming of crunching leaves, roaring fires, yummy hot chocolate & multi-coloured marshmallows. Ah, I absolutely love fall -it's perfection!

Martin (hubs) & I took these outfit photos over the weekend, and I was SO excited to style my brand new Jeffrey Campbell's -love, love them!! Side note: you may be seeing them a lot over the next few weeks; haha, consider yourselves warned! Also, I thrifted several midi length skirts for fall, including this one. I immediately fell in love with the soft pleats & petite polka dots, and at only $4?! Way too perfect to leave behind!

The fabulous folks at Sproos sent me this adorable headband. I just adore it! I love that it's made of 100% silk, super comfortable and really well made. Also, they are kindly offering all "Girl & Closet" readers a 15% discount ...just use the code "Veronika" at checkout! I'm currently lusting after one of their feather headbands, which would be so fun for a night out. Alright guys, wishing you a fabulous day. I'm off to walk the pooch. Haha, he's giving me those eyes. xo

    Your whole outfit is amazing. Unfortunately I'm too short to rock a midi length skirt/dress :-/ It just doesn't work for me!

  4. I love this outfit - but then again I can't think of any outfits of yours that I didn't like. :) It's so nice to see a longer skirt that's not a maxi - and in such a pretty, classic print too! Can't wait to see the other skirts you thrifted too. From the sounds and looks of it, you're a pro!

  34. That's too bad about your camping trip! Stinking rain. Hopefully you will get some fun getaways this fall. You look lovely, the bow in your hair is precious!

    ReplyDelete
  35. No apologies necessary for the shoes--they look like the kind of thing I'd wear too much if I owned 'em, too. Hehe. I love the look and I am glad I recently figured out how awesome longer skirts can be. I'll have to keep this look in mind when I consider other ways to style mine. (:

  47. Oh Veronika, I just love this look! Midi-length skirts are my absolute favourite (in case I hadn't already made that obvious, I thought I should say it outright) and this one looks like it was made for you. The addition of the adorable bow headband from Sproos just takes this look to a whole new level. I especially love the frun print on it, it's so whimsical and girly; the perfect way to bring some fun and light to the chilly early fall days :)

  85. once again, i need to thank you for making it so the comment box pops out. i really like to read, look and write while i'm here, taking it all in is the most wonderful way to be. sooooo, rock steady Veronika, wearing your most faved shoes EVER....you shaBING my shaBANG....not sure what that really means by definition but it feels right here all the same ; ) baha!

    okay, gimme a clothes-up on this lovely ensemble. zooooom in on (looks effortless enough) dressing at it's best! i'm loving the mid-length skirt, happy it's come back this season, and your added hair bow. sorry bout the camping call-off but it was nasty out there so i'm glad to know you two weren't washed away, tent and all, in the current.

    is the skirt from the same place as your marvelous dress from the get-together? 4 bucks really??? a steal with mass appeal! can't wait to see the many remixes you apply on your new JC's! xoox ♥
