I decided to wear the quilted vest with black skirt and top. First reason was to practice wearing a column of color in this case black. Second reason I paired this vest with the black skirt and top is because I wanted to pair a flattering color up close to my face. I think black is very unflattering to my complextion. Do you like my wavy hair no flat iron today?
Third reason I decided to wear my quilted vest, because it is dreary today and cold. The gunmetal gray jewelery I am wearing reflects the mood of the
weather.
I love the modern look of these earrings. My daughter actually bought them and gave them to me. They are just funky enough to satisfy this part of my style estetic.
The bracelets are a collection of gray pearls, a bracelet from Nigeria made out of hemitite , and another cuff made out of clear plastic resin.
The fourth reason is I was trying to balance my proportions by wearing more skirts. This is a pencil skirt/A-line skirt somehow I think it works. Still experimenting with proportions.
I thought it would be fun to see what 'Lagenlook' outfits I could create out of my present closet. I am intrigued by the layering effects. In theory I need some volume to balance out my top heavy inverted triangle body shape. I am wondering if the Lagenlook style might do this for me. I like the vertical lines all of the draping creates. So I layered a sleeveless draped vest over a skirt over leggings. I needed a jacket and added a motocross-jacket but didn't like the look. The colors are all muted but not sure the style worked. It was too cold to go without a jacket today. I wore flat shoes in brown textured patent leather. I added a long necklace and some bangles.
I'm challenging myself to see how many 'looks' I can come up with before I make or buy anything new. I think a cross between classic and Lagenlook-style might work. Feel free to give me feedback good, bad or indifferent is all welcome.
