Totally Pink

Today I wanted to wear something a little less business-like since we were going for a nice lunch at work.  We have another retiree and a bunch of us went out to celebrate.

The weather is still holding up, so I hauled out my tiered Ann Taylor Loft skirt.  I've been wanting to wear it all summer and thought I had better do it now before it rains.

I wore it without tights and so it felt a bit cold; it also felt a little too unconfined for work - I'm accustomed to slightly tighter clothing for work.

We went to Black + Blue which is a steak house, but trying to be healthier, I had the Hunter Pasta, a yummy concoction of shaved pork, pinenuts, mushrooms, tomato and garlic on a bed of fettucini.  There was a big bunch of what I think was arugula on top as a giant-sized edible garnish.  Not sure why it was called Hunter since it is more of a Gatherer dish.

today i wore:

fuschia t-shirt ... gap

peachy-pink cardigan ... george

sparkly scarf ... ? 

tiered skirt ... ann taylor loft

red slip-ons ... bare traps

Today, I'm linking to:

• Ruby Tuesday

Ruffled Denim Skirt

I'd completely forgotten about this skirt until today.  I found it while rummaging around in the closet for something to wear.  It's an Ann Taylor Loft skirt that I found several years ago.  

I must admit that I love Ann Taylor clothing.  All the items I have fit very well, no gaping, bagging or sagging.

What caught my eye on this skirt were all the details:

• a ruffle - but not just any ruffle - this one has stitched down pleats
• peak-a-boo trim
• lace

It was hot enough to go tightless - so you see actual legs for once.

Originally I was going to go beltless like this:

But it felt very long-bodied so not having an appropriately coloured belt, I added the scarf.

Which one do you like better? I'm trying out a poll. Thanks for participating!
