Gingerbread & Merlot

I love this red high waisted maxi skirt so much. ^_^ Every time I wear it, I can't help but do swishy things with it. Haha. It looks so great on a windy day. The soft fabric ripples and looks beautifully fluid.
So, of course I feel terrible that it has taken me so long to get around to wearing it, again. >_<

Picture
 
Click here to see how I last wore the skirt back in July. You'll see a bunch of photos I took at our local farmer's market, too. :D I wore a mix blacks and greys, back then. This time, I stepped it up by using lots of Fall colors. In that regard, the open weave duster cardigan seemed like the perfect addition. Its golden color works really well with the skirt. Also, it's lightweight and perfect for cooler temperatures.

This mint zippered handbag is amazing and I also feel bad about rarely ever wearing it. It's one of those things that I just fell in love with at first sight and that I always love seeing in my closet, but I just can't for the life of me figure out how to wear it. For some reason, I didn't think I'd have a problem working it into my wardrobe when I was contemplating buying it, but now that I have it I've been having a lot of difficulty styling it. I dunno. Maybe I'm just over-thinking it. I believe it was the right choice for this look, though. I wanted to go for something a little more earthy, like a light brown bag, but the stark turquoise ends up elevating the entire look and making it stand out even more...or so I hope? Hehe.

Picture

You might recognize this beautiful pleated floral "top." It's actually a romper and prior to this I wore it underneath pants (successfully, I might add hehe). This time, I decided to pair it with a high waisted skirt and of course that worked out wonderfully. The bright white background and the floral scheme are perfect on top of the skirt and, unlike with tight pants, I didn't have to worry about any seams showing.

Picture

In keeping with my desire to include only earthy hues, I went for these light brown zipper boots.
I've mentioned this before, but I have them in two other colors: dark brown and black. I find that I wear both of those more often and of course this bothers the hell out of me, because I like to get as much wear as possible out of all of my clothing. The dark down ones would have looked just fine with this, actually, but I forced myself to dust these off and I'm glad because they look great. Dare I say, even better! :D

Skirt is gorgeous! Loving all the warm autumn-y colours - tan, red and green! LOVELY! :D I'm so totally jealous by the way - autumn colours are my fave. I hate spring colours (pastels make me want to barf)! :P

How are you not wearing those boots ALL THE TIME? I would be. Also, how do I not have a long cardi like that? Somewhere along the line I got into the habit of only wearing cropped cardigans and now I can't quite break out of it. :/

Wow this is so pretty! I LOVE the colours. Very unexpected. I can't believe that is a romper.

Just gotta ask...how long does it take for you to go to the bathroom? You'd have to take off your whole outfit, no?

Umm..haha. That's a REALLY good question. Yeah, I would have to pull down everything. I wore a tank top underneath so I wouldn't be too exposed in that situation. Luckily, I didn't need to use the restroom when we went out, but yeah, it would have been a little bit of a hassle if I needed to go. Hehe.

I think the bag compliments the more earthy tones of the outfit and draws the eye to the skirt's rich color.

You got some great shots of this skirt in action- I love the movement! Love the bright colors paired with the pieces/textures of fall!

That first shot belongs on a goddamn magazine cover. I missed your outfit posts during those seven weeks away, but you're sure as hell delivering. :)

I like this look! You look amazing beautiful here. I want a floral top just like that (i'm still amazed that this is a romper).

This is just gorgeous, Anna! I love the mint bag against the red. Also, your title is making me hungry/thirsty. Is it acceptable to leave work at 11 am to curl up with a plate of gingerbread cookies and a glass of merlot?? No? Phooey.

Heeeey! :D <3 I know, right? As soon as I came up with the title, I was like... a moist gingerbread cake with cream cheese frosting and a dry merlot would really hit the spot right about now.
