Post and run off to the salt mines! But here is my other KC souvenir: this draped duster with zipper sleeves from the sale rack. I love how lightweight and airy it is. Plus, it hides the fact that my rear is currently a smidge too big for this dress. -_-
Worn with western booties, snake, and geodes for that mineshaft-in-the-desert effect. :-)

Love the shape of the duster and the sleeves are gorgeous but I gotta admit I find the front of it a bit long on you (slinking away...).

Lovely duster, and that bag has really become a workhorse for you!

So cute! How lovely of the wind to cooperate with your outfit photos ^^ Those long dusters are so hard to photograph well since their best look is when you're moving. I adore the geode necklace, what color stone is it?

Picture 1 is amazing, it really captures the breezy quality of the dress and duster. Effortlessly cool + a little girly + a little edgy = a unique look!

So fab! Photo 1 belongs in the Fashion Blogger Hall of Fame!
And I ran across some photos from an early YLF meetup, and may I just say your shorter hair has really been such a fab style upgrade for you!

Love, love, love the first photo too! I really am drawn to the colors and dusters are just amazing pieces of clothing! :) Although I don't see that your dress is even a bit too tight!

Gorgeous coat and colour combination, YLF :)

You make a very pretty caped crusader, with just the right mix of polish and down-to-earth diamond- in-the-roughness.

This Mineshaft Chic look is so gorgeous, and geodes are always in order. I love the colors, the cowgirl vibe, and you look so comfortable. The duster covers a lot when it's down, I want to see more of your shape as in #1. Can you take a breeze with you wherever you go? And a cloud of dust behind.

Rae: Love the high-desert fashion! Allso, as a midwesterner, appreciate your eye for fashion in any locale. Sometimes people from fashion-rich coastal cities aren't attuned to the fabness of other regions. You know how to appreciate great style everywhere you go!

That first photo is so cool with the wind blowing the duster. Love the look - esp with the yellow accents.

I love all the yellow in the photos - even how you match the yellow fence behind you. Another fantastic outfit!
Deborah replied 9 years ago
The duster is a little different for you but I do like it. They are fab for just throwing over things and adding a touch of drama. You look great.

Great outfit! I love the long cardi/duster! (Haven't heard that term before!)

Love the duster. Love the word duster. Your dress and bag are also fantastic!
I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
