Ankle boots + skirts...

[Curious]

Thanks ladies!

 

[softgrey]

softgrey looking great in that outfit. I adore that skirt and bid for it on sale on ebay today....I lost it. The boots look good. what would opaque tights be like?

good question helena...

...i'm going to find out soon enough because it's going to get cold might quick...
but i think the whole outfit will have to change if i add tights...
the colour balance will be thrown off completely...no?...

what do you think?...
blk or grey tights?...
maybe grey ribbed?...
i'm VERY open to suggestions...

 

[helena]

hmmm yes I suppose you are right. I think grey would be nice but maybe those thicker ones ...llike the prada tights...slightly marled. I know Falke do some nce ones. Black would be lovely I think but without the pinkish top and just with plain black and a black coat?and maybe a grey scarf? I adoer the skirt so much though

 

[softgrey]

i have some armani marled wool tights...i'll try those then...
but they itch a bit......
the ribbed ones are pretty thick too though...

*that skirt really needs something longer over top of it though...
told you about the funny waistline, no?...

 

[helena]

no funny waist how?

 

[Tinetush]

Soft, Curious looking gorgeous!
you guys can really pull it off!

So, I'm loving the look.

Edit - Ohh and Chanel, those boots sure is dreamy.
Trying to find a place where I can buy them...

 

[softgrey]

no funny waist how?

hard to explain...
maybe i just bought the wrong size...
but the waist is thick...
(the fabric is very thick and it's dbl at the wst...w/piping)
and i can't tell where it is supposed to sit, low or high...
plus it just pulls in a funny way across the tummy...
**you know marni.....
...gorgeous but hard to wear...

can i ask how much it went for on ebay out of curiosity?...


B)...thanks tine...

 

[MizBlue]

soft i like !
sort of mod . . .

ME TOO

 

[helena]

softgrey I dunno I stopped bidding at $185. I dunno how much it went for.

I think I know what you mean about the waist. I think I have a skirt like that.....do you have a grey coat? a grey coat would be nice....

 

[SpookyGirl]

Hmmm...thank you for the pics!

Softgrey, I really like the shape of the skirt. If I decide to give this look a try, I will try with a skirt like the one you posted.

 

[softgrey]

very cool spookygirl...

helena...
i actually have a pic with a coat too......
i tried with a grey jil sander jkt-but it was too matchy...
and i tried the brn suede vintage-but it just wasn't sexy...
the best one was this faux fur peacoat style (agnes b)...
grey mohair marled scarf made for me by my mom...

-edit-just realized the boots are different here...but you get the idea...

*sounds like a damn good price for that skirt actually....

 

[helena]

softgrey that looks good too...the scarf works really well I think...seems to pull it all together. Now that with grey marl tights & the ankle boots would be excellent I think.

 

[softgrey]

ok good...
then i have ONE outfit for fall...lordy...!!

[i_<3_chanel]

soft !
i adore this look too !
& i see the boots too in the backgrnd . . . w/the lil bows

 

[helena]

^^^ oh you are too modest...I am sure you have more than one.

 

[kimair]

i did the ankle boot/skirt thing last winter a la gucci:

for me, it worked better with a pencil skirt and ankle boots that didn't stray too far above my ankle bone (since my legs are skinny...higher boots look funny)

 

[TheSweetest]

i adore these

Akris f/w 05

 

[softgrey]

i love that sweetest...
and that blue coat is AMAZING!!!...




thx chanel...*i know...the bows really are ...
i love them so much...
i want to wear them as much as possible...

helena...
i don't know...i'm still working on it...

 

[urd]

thanks for all the pics. I never wear my ankle boots and I need some serious inspiration

I have always regarded this look as a no-go,but recently I've realised that short boots with skirts can look very stylish.

The rules seem to be...

*(Ok nice legs)
*Interesting short boots...doesn't work if it's just a higher shoe or a taller boot suddenly cropped off...I love the Moschino suede boots with the bows,those MJ boots and the Chloe calf length ones...
* Very careful attention to the length of both the skirt and the boots...it's important which "segment" of leg shows,if anyone understands what I mean.

I think this look works very well if you're otherwise playing with volume too...fitted jacket and full skirt,for example.
