Gloomy Gray with Bright Cobalt

Ann Taylor Ponte Skirt sz 00P, Perfect Patent Pumps sz 5, Theory Top & Blazer (similar splurge)

Burberry Trench sz US 2 (now available in sz US 0? gasp!)

Oh, Boston. 35 ranges and rain/flurry blend at the same time as i am simply looking to snap some pics - why? To liven up my outfit, I wore this striking cobalt skirt with the same old bloodless climate black/grays. i was immediately offered on vibrant blue from Ann Taylor's winter ads, or even ordered the a laugh contemporary shift get dressed (overview coming soon). In man or woman, this skirt is more of a deep cobalt blue, and much less electric like on the AT internet site.



Fit: It looks like a snug miniskirt on the version, so I knew the fit would be "everyday" on me. It sits low on my waist, and is a bit roomy in the hips (if you look closely at the image above, you may see a bit pooch of fabric in the the front, proper at my lower tummy, where it ought to be lying flat). I want the waist sat higher and the period changed into longer like a pencil skirt.

Measurements: 13" across the waist, 16.5" throughout the hips, 17" duration. Rayon/nylon/spandex mixture.

Quality:  Skirt is absolutely unlined (surprising! Even my stretchy knit skirt became covered, but I think that fee me $10 greater), and the elastic waistband is seen from the inner. The ponte fabric is of medium thickness. Thick sufficient so that my tucked-in top did not show thru, but now not a robust, thick ponte.

Verdict: maintaining on the charge I paid ($33 using this cut price - 30% off code still works!). I decided to preserve this skirt entirely for the colourful color, plus the in shape was applicable without alterations. it's a welcome addition to my wintry weather paintings wardrobe, and i will see the coloration being just as lovely in softer Spring pairings and ambitious summer clothing.

I were given several compliments today even as sporting this outfit at work, whereas had I selected a black/gray skirt, this outfit would've been absolutely non-wonderful.

Readers - Are you a fan of bright blue for winter? Did you buy any AT cobalt?
