I had a funeral to attend today, so I have yet to finish my Sleeves On Saturday post. I wore the skirt that I posted yesterday to the funeral today, so I thought I would share a few views of the skirt.
The skirt as you saw it yesterday.
The pictures were taken after I had sat in it for most of the afternoon, but all in all, the skirt withstood all the sitting.Even the back stood up to all the sitting.
The sweater is a vintage sweater that I've had for quite a long time. It's almost impossible to acquire wonderful vintage pieces at a reasonable price. I tried to bid on a top that I found on Ebay and in the final moments it went for $180.00. Incredible. Makes me cherish what I have all the more.
A nod to Shams of http://www.communingwithfabric.blogspot.com/ . She usually throws in a movement shot. The skirt wiggles quite nicely when I move.
My shoes are vintage as well. Quite a few years ago a shop here in Chicago had found a shop in southern Illinois that had been left as though time stood still. I was able to pick up 3 pairs of brand new, never been worn, vintage shoes. This pair is from the 1940's. One of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own.
A close up of the velvet applique on my sweater. I think she is so sweet.
So there you have it, a few boring pictures of me in what I wore today.
Hope your weekend is going well!
Rhonda
