Yesterday, I planned to wear an outfit to work based on a J. Crew skirt that I bought a while ago, but never wore. It was the statement piece for the outfit.
I recently bought their camo tee shirt and thought I'd put a jacket or sweater over it. All afternoon I tried different combinations of tops, sweaters, jackets, stockings, socks, shoes, boots, jewelry, etc.
It was time to get dressed and as I slipped the skirt on and zipped it up - oops! It's too big. Okay, I'll pin it. Nope too much material, it bunched up. Move the button? No, same problem. I'm not much of a seamstress so the idea of actually adjusting the waistband was not an option.
So all the time and attention and nothing, zip, nada. So there I am at the last minute, changing into an outfit that is just okay. On a day when I wanted to look WOW! Lesson learned: try the important piece on first!

the skirt which is difficult to capture on camera as it sparkles and crinkles... |

how it might have looked! I like mixing the cotton camo tee with the fancy fabric of the skirt. The colors are in sync, but there's the visual contrast of textures... |
