Played dress-up today... I found this chiffon skirt a while back, but I never really attempted to wear it because it's a little too much for coffee runs and things like that.
First I tried it as a dress...
Wore it with a vintage shaggy fur coat and crystal brooches, American Apparel floppy hat, Karen Walker sunglasses, and Nina Ricci python pumps.
I am in love with these sparkly pins I picked up at one of my favorite vintage boutiques. The owner of the shop has quite the personality, but she has the greatest collection of antique brooches!!
Such a fun and girly skirt! Wearing it again with my all-time favorite motorcycle jacket, a Zara striped top, and Alaia pumps.
Random shot from today, wearing a silk 50's dress... It has little lips all over it, so cute!!

The last dress is very feminine and so retro ;) I love the touch of charm in it. When I think about the first dress/skirt i think it looks better as a skirt. More feminine and glamurous.
i love the last dress! really cute
That is one heck of a chiffon dress/skirt! Beautiful!!

i love the dress. It's pale pink right? I have found something like that from a thrift store too not long ago.

LOVE THIS!!! That skirt is lovely so flowing and feminine. Also I love that 50's print dress, it looks fun and flirty but classy too. :)
i really liked your style back in the day when you used to wear awesome things, not grandmotherish vintage things that i would look at in a store and think who the hell would ever put that on.
you're such a pretty girl, don't Aunt Millie yourself so young. when you're in the Aunt Millie age, then dress yourself accordingly :(
Gorgeous! I love the long skirt leather jacket combo.
Love the last dress!!

I love the piece worn as a skirt! But I have to admit that my favorite part of this post is your last outfit!
so chic! you look great karla, love your style!
xx
The skirt/leather jacket combination is great and the last picture looks so beautiful :) Thanks for sharing.
Love the skirt as a dress, too. But I think the outfit needs a leather belt or something to add a little more structure hence you're not that tall and the colors look quite similar.
Soooo cute...Love all the style..So cute...
AND YOUR SHOES !
god god god !

Curtain Dress?
Translation: Shamu in a tent dress!
And your knee scarf thing is barf like you said.
I see the haters wake up early in the morning to look at you blog...lol. Just keep going harder.
You look gorg Karla. I like the fur jacket but not really teamed up like that, its kinda old lady for me, but the colour of the dress/skirt is to die for!. I Love love that pic with the stripped top and the the fonz inspired jacket. to cool. I'm still searching vintage/thrift stores for the perfect jacket like that. the last pic is stunning, i love that dress and shoe combo. The backgrounds are so pretty in your pictures Karla, you live in the most beautiful area, town! i will never get tired of this blog, it's to inspirational, can you link me? http://anypostforme.blogspot.com x
I love it as a dress and a skirt. I also like your dress in the last photo. Great outfits. The brooches were a nice addition. xo

My favorite vintage shop has an interesting owner as well! She's very loud, you can hear her talking no matter what part of the shop you're in! But her place has great stuff.
In Class, En Vogue
You have such a great vintage collection.
Ahhh the brooches are s o o o fun. I've been on a hunt to place one on most if not every one of my future outfits. And I think it's a prerequisite to own a vintage shop: eccentrics may only apply : )
The silk dress is amazing!! You have the best dress collection I've ever seen.
And I love both of the ways you styled the skirt, especially the one with the coat.
-Shoeless Simone
I love it, both ways!
Love the last picture too:D

I am absolutely enthralled by every outfit you put together here. I don't think I would have ever guessed to pair a biker jacket with such a long feminine skirt - you are a genius, Karla.
You look beautiful as always.

That last vintage dress is gorgeous, I wish they were close ups. I love the chiffon dress as a skirt paired with the jacket, beautiful!
Hi Karla,
I'm always looking forward to viewing your awesome blog and how creatively you dress up..you are a true inspiration!
I'm loving the last two pictures. I love the way you paired the blush pink skirt with the leather jacket; its entirely delicate yet not without edge. The pattern on the silk dress couldn't be more adorable. You have such a fun style, Karla.
I really love the jacket!
So cute!

love how you wore it as a skirt but i think you should belt the skirt if you're going to wear it as a dress.
this outfit is fantastic. love it.
i think it looks better as a skirt but you wear both looks well, karla!
all outfits are incredible, As usual! :)
love the last photo. I'm really digging your hair lately. it's very relaxed looking. I adore those alaia pumps too.
i've been reading your blog, daily, since late 2008 and this is my second comment ever. (i think) I feel like thats cheating.... :) You inspire me to be bold with fashion. Thank you.

I'm a huge fan of yours in general (as someone else posted--you've inspired me to be bolder with my wardrobe) but I have to admit--not crazy about the first look--though I see the idea behind it. Like many others, love the 2nd way you paired the delicate skirt with the edgy moto jacket. And LURVE the vintage dress.
Also wanted to 2nd another commenter's post: your style and talent are true because you can take "old lady"-like pieces and make them fresh and amazing, and crazily enough, even sexy.
Don't ever give up your personal style.
Gorgeous pale pink, love it with the motorcycle jacket! And that 50's dress is amazing!

The first look with that furry monster, I do not love -- it makes you look incredibly heavy and you have such a darling figure. The second and third looks, especially with the addition of those Alaia shoes, lo-lo-lo-love.
A girl can do no wrong in Alaia's.
I gave you the Sunshine Award.. check out my blog for the details!
