Ups & Downs

Well, I had typed a lot and then lost everything with an unfortunate swipe of my finger... Guess I am not the smartphone generation! Will add details at home, but just wanted to post and say hello on my lunch break. Happy Saturday, dressed up and down!

    HOLY CRAP Rae - you look AMAZEBALLS in pics #1-3. That ombre full skirt with a simple black sweater and boots is just WOW. I gotta go lay down now...
  • replied 11 years ago
    Wow, great skirt! You might convert me to skirt wearing yet if I could look as good as you!
  • Marigold replied 11 years ago
    Can you be in love with a skirt? The ombre skirt is amazing! Really love this whole outfit with black bag and sweater.
  • Debbie replied 11 years ago
    That skirt is awesome! You look fabulous!
  • rae replied 11 years ago
    Thanks, ladies! The sweater is actually charcoal gray, hope that does not change the favorable opinions. And the boots are my burgundy Timberlands. Shannon, your post makes me smile!

    A FULL SKIRT ON RAE!

    The sky is going to fall down. I LOVE IT! :)

    So frustrating when you lose your post! Glad you posted the pics - you look gorgeous in it Rae!
  • Jaime replied 11 years ago
    Wow I love the ombre skirt on you! The perfect full skirt for you style! The casual outfit looks great too, but the skirt is a whole new dimension!
  • Thistle replied 11 years ago
    I love that skirt, Rae.  So beautiful!   You look amazing.  I know I have said it before, but wow, your style has just been through the roof! 

    And look, you went and made Angie faint! 
  • TraceyLiz65 replied 11 years ago
    I can only echo the enthusiasm of previous commenters as that skirt combo is to die for and you look amazing!  
  • Sarah A replied 11 years ago
    The burgandy boot with the full ombre skirt is just fantastic! You look great :)
  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago
    I haven't seen this skirt before, but I love it.  Your style keeps it simple and grown up.  Wear again!
  • Liz A. replied 11 years ago
    Super cute boots!
  • Joy replied 11 years ago
    More love for that amazing skirt on you! 
  • Makrame replied 11 years ago
    Yes, that skirt is gorgeous (and so is the entire outfit in 1-3)!  Like the dressed-dwon version as well!
  • amiable replied 11 years ago
    Wow Wow Wow!  You look incredible!
  • rae replied 11 years ago
    Angie - whew! Good thing you got the helmet! ;)

    My coworker mistook my boots for Frye today, which was kind of fun. The Timberlands were amazingly comfy! Lots of shock absorption in the sole, and also lots of support. I hope my tall cognac ones are as comfy come Fall.

    Vicarious skirt pleasure - it looks amazing on you.
  • Scarlet replied 11 years ago
    What Shannon said, plus the second outfit is A++ too.
  • CocoLion replied 11 years ago
    Yes, yes, yes!  You are making me want to re-think skirts.
  • Irene replied 11 years ago
    I LOVE this!!
  • replied 11 years ago
    Fan me, I can't breathe! That skirt is so fab I can't stand it!
  • Mochi replied 11 years ago
    Love the bag. Love the skirt. You look mod and punk at the same time. Excellent, excellent. 
  • Tanya replied 11 years ago
    Love everything about this Rae!  I have a full ombre skirt myself, so I might copy you :)
  • Claudia replied 11 years ago

    Crazy love the skirt outfit, Rae. YLF! I am smitten by this skirt.

  • Deborah replied 11 years ago
    Different but still very "Rae".  The skirt is gorgeous.  InspiRaetional!
  • Suz replied 11 years ago
    LOVE this. That skirt is out of this world fantastic on you! Wow. 
  • replied 11 years ago
    Love your 'up' fab skirt; and love your 'down' casual ease. YLF
  • replied 11 years ago
    Love the skirt.  You look fab!
  • cheryl replied 11 years ago
    You look fantastic and that ombre skirt is too fab for words!
  • Kyle replied 11 years ago
    Fashion forward and youthful meets feminine yet edgy. Great look for you, Rae. I think we'll be seeing more of this skirt with your creative styling.
  • Kari replied 11 years ago
    WOW.  I love the ombre full skirt on you, Rae.  I think your sassy short cut also adds a punch of personality to outfits like this - more emphasis on the "urban" and less "princess", if that makes sense.
  • catgirl replied 11 years ago
    OMG, fantastic - a little bit femme and a whole lotta sass.  Those boots!   Did you post details somewhere in the thread?!
  • Robin M replied 11 years ago
    I seriously want to fly to LA and steal your skirt:-). You are lucky we aren't the same size!
  • Nicole D replied 11 years ago
    That looks wonderful.  Love the skirt and boots - what a cool colour.
  • rachylou replied 11 years ago
    This is a great skirt. Also a great topper in the second pic... is that the siamese cats?
  • unfrumped replied 11 years ago
    Totally cute with a tough edge!
    I think this outfit works with your new short hair better than it would've before. Have you noticed certain proportions are more appealing with new vs. old haircut? I had that experience when I went a lot shorter last year.
  • Aida replied 11 years ago
    Both versions are fab! I like the long sweater over the full skirt a lot, FUN proportions (especially with the semi-tonal burgundy boots).
  • sarah replied 11 years ago
    Wow, it's fun to see you in a new skirt silhouette! And you and Cocolion are making me think I should pull out my orphaned cardis, since you both look so super cool in yours.
