We had some lunatic weather here in MN overnight, so this is a weekend outfit. Husband Mike and I did a quasi-fancy dinner out, so I got quasi-fancied up.
As you can imagine, this skirt does not play well with my cats. Luckily, it was worn almost exclusively outside the house and away from their meddlesome claws. I have cat-related workarounds for certain delicate items, but actual, factual tulle? Forget it. No amount of careful placement, barrier methods, or vigilance will save tulle from the loving snags of lap-cat talons.
P.S. You all told me this skirt would work with burgundy, and you were right!

Oh, I just love this piece paired with the burgundy accents! Oooh la la, lady!
i love your outfit and am so jealous of that skirt 🙂 those colors look great on you!
Oh, I love this color combination. And that skirt is just fabulous.
Such a cute outfit!
Great color combination… that never would have occurred to me :).
Love this outfit – simple but romantic! You look great.
Oh, wow, I just love love LOVE this with burgundy! So pretty – I am now jonesing for a dusky pink floofy skirt.
I hear you about the cats – my little kitten is a beast for aglets, so I have to keep all shoelaces tucked inside all shoes or he will chew the ends right off. He’s also chewed (and, I suspect, eaten) fringe off my suede skirt.
I seriously love burgundy on you! 😀 Also, it really goes great with the skirt!
This outfit has so much awesome in it! I particularly adore that bracelet. You as always look lovely 🙂
Aw, that skirt is so adorable.
The skirt looks perfect with burgundy! I love tulle; I have a hard time not going too far into ballet-inspired outfits with it on…
You might like gray/gunmetal/pewter accents next time too, one of my favorite mixes with burgundy–maybe in a necklace and tights or boots?
Wow! LOVE this!
Ohwow! Love these colors together. Also I know what you mean about kitty claws. I only wear my most durable and “cat-safe” clothes to my Mom’s. I love the little fur-butts but their claws can destroy!
Fabulous! Love how the colors work together.
Yea with the weather today, I decided dressing down for work was acceptable and went with jeans and snowboots. Worked out ok since there wasn’t very many people there.
I love the skirt, you look gorgeous as always!!! I thrift all the time and haven’t found a tulle skirt like that yet!! I’ll keep looking though…love it!!
Who knew that there was a “Cat-Shunning” outfit category! You looked perfect for the task.
I think cat shunning should be a new Olympic sport.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Oh Sal,
That combo is just stunning.
Stunning.

Ooooh! Another outfit I would never be able to wear, but that looks beautiful on you! I love how the burgundy makes the tulle skirt look less girly, more sophisticated and grown up. A very nice look!
I once had a button chewed off a cardigan by a kitten while I wearing it! It was so cute I didn’t mind…
PS – love the outfit – yay matchy-matchy!
oooh! You look comfortable and fancy at the same time! Not to mention romantic. I love the color combo, too! What an outfit!!
That skirt is gorgeous!! You look lovely my dear!
That skirt is gorgeous! I think this is the closest I’ve seen your style meet my style (and I love that we have such different styles but I can still pick up such great bits of wisdom here!), and now I completely need that skirt. Well, first I need a gathering foot for my sewing machines, because there’s no way I’m hand-gathering tulle again in this lifetime, lol. Such a great outfit, well done!
FYI – that skirt was originally sold at Anthropologie years and years and years ago (I know b/c I have it). Thought you’d be interested… 🙂
