Having a lunch date at a french restaurant in New Haven is enough of a reason to swap the jeans for a curve hugging black skirt. Who cares if every other patron in the restaurant was in denim? It's a great way to start the week.

Ooo, love the shape of that skirt and it looks so pretty with your pink sweater! A lunch date at a French restaurant sounds like a very nice way to spend an afternoon :)
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to get dressed up and a lunch date is the perfect reason! You look so sophisticated in this!

You look amazing! This is such a great look on you, so classic and chic!
ReplyDeleteHi HOTTIE! I am totally whistling at you across the internet. The shape of that skirt is freaking AWESOME on you!
ReplyDeleteYou are so chic, girlie. I love that skirt. Best of luck as you continue job hunting. It'll happen!

Agreed! You look GREAT in this look Lydia! I am sure it is nice to break out of the denim once in a while. I have tried to stay out of my maternity slump I've been in. I REALLY miss my skirts. And my waist. This pale pink looks great with the leopard coat!
ReplyDeleteWoop woop! Bonus points to you for dressing up. I love the combo of that dusty pink and the black skirt. You are lookin' like a babe here, lady! I'm joining Alissa and whistling at you through the internet (in a respectful way, of course). GIRL THAT IS YOUR COLOR!
ReplyDeleteLove that shade of your pink sweater and the skirt is amazing. Kisses, sweetie.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right - it is so easy to slip into a daily denim (or worse, pajamas) routine when you're not going to an office on a daily basis. Good for you for getting dressed up just because! And you really did knock it out of the park with this outfit, I love the combination of feminine, romantic pieces from your sweater, skirt and necklace with the edginess of studded booties and a leopard coat.
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
This is the perfect outfit for a lunch date! Sometimes, it's so necessary to bust out the curve hugging skirt rather than jeans.
ReplyDeleteI love this sophisticated and chic look. That skirt is super cute.
ReplyDeleteThe tulip skirt adds a great fun factor (along with that fab coat)! This outfit is so flattering on you - really shows off your great figure!

Very Pretty!
ReplyDeleteWell i think that is the best part: not looking like everyone else :)
Bet you got a lot of stares.
So soft and pretty. Maybe the other patrons were looking at you thinking, "now there's some important and chic lady on a lunch break"
ReplyDeleteNice, Nice outfit, i love your skirt.
ReplyDeletePretty look.

There's always reason to dress up. You prove it in this post just lovely. I work a lot from home and it's easy slip in casual looks. But it's always much more fun to dress up even casual jeans.

You look great and ready for the world. Not going out to work can alter how you get dressed. I have been out of the work force for three years now and live in denim.

better to be overdressed than underdressed!

WOW you look Gorgeous, Lydia. Definitely one of your best Outfits this Spring. =)
ReplyDeleteI agree a great way to start the day and week, even if it is just a lunch. I too dressed up for a lunch date with my husband recently (that is the current outfit on the blog, from yesterday). I love that skirt and the color of your sweater. Pretty, dainty bracelets and your makeup looks flawless. Gotta give this a try with my Tulip Skirt from Bebe. =)
You're so fly.
ReplyDeleteCrushin' on those shoes lady!
ReplyDeleteLove the pairing of the skirt with those booties and leopard coat. Great picks
