Today, we FINALLY had some real fall weather! I'm always excited when the seasons change.
So while I was standing in my closet this morning looking for something to wear, I grabbed this wool tweed skirt from way back. It seems I'm on a pencil skirt kick right now.
This skirt is Butterick 5249, that I made back in 2008. I'm sure it's out of print now. I made a few modifications to the pattern to achieve the look I was going for at the time. And I'm glad I did because I love the uniqueness of this skirt.
Make classics, have classics!
I love that belt that you are wearing with the skirt. You're whole outfit is very classy. I wish we were having more of a fall spell here in South Alabama. It is not hot, but it is not really what I would call cool either.
ReplyDeleteRachel, I was so excited about those low temps this morning. Thanks!
DeleteLovely skirt Erica! Nothing beats the classics!
ReplyDeleteLovely! The weather today is PERFECT.
ReplyDeleteThanks Adrienne... it sure was!
DeleteReally cute! I especially love the side ruching on this skirt. Great details!
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with pencil skirts also! Happy birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteFaye, I am too! Thanks!
DeleteIt is a very lovely, unique skirt. I love all the details, and the belt is really cool.
ReplyDeleteEverytime! Everytime you kills it, you are sick with it! Did I say how I love this lol...
ReplyDeleteThanks Candice!
DeleteLove this! I think I have a Vogue skirt pattern that's similiar to your skirt that I plan to make up soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Levone!
DeleteGREAT classic :)
ReplyDeleteVery classy, and yet smoking hot at the same time! Happy birthday for the weekend, Erica. I hope you had a wonderful day :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn!
DeleteYou look lovely Erica!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sassy T!
ReplyDeletegorgeous skirt! I clicked on the link to the original post for the skirt. I LOVE how it turned out. Yours looks ten times better than the one on the pattern. I was also surprised to see how different you looked with straight hair. I think your current hairstyle suits your personality more. You look fantastic! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteFabulous as usual, Erica. Love the skirt. I need to add a couple to my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteThanks M. Inez!
DeleteYes fall is certainly here. Love the tweed skirt and you always have fabulous belts! Did you make it or buy it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Joen. The belt is BCBG Spring 2011.
ReplyDeleteI love this skirt and the one from yesterday. That's it! I swear I am going to sit down and learn to really sew even if it takes me all Winter. Or at least until I can make a decent pencil skirt.
ReplyDeleteLord help me...LOL
Onefromphilly, you can do it! Thanks!
DeleteJust went on a quick search for this pattern and it is out of print =(
ReplyDeletebut hooray for a timeless skirt!
Unfortunately it is out of print.
