This skirt is a little big now, too, so I swapped the tie belt it came with for this heavier leather one and cinched the waist like a paper sack Sal-style to hold it up. The black belt also continued the menswear vibe of the grey jersey vest which I layered over a plain white boy tank - it was a nice contrast to the feminine skirt. So it served two purposes.
The whole silhouette came off sort of mid 80’s tent-like which made me feel very madonnaesque. If I hadn’t been SO HOT I might have added black bicycle shorts. I think that would have been really cute. Especially since I did bicycle to church.
The red gladiators simply appealed to my eye. I don’t carry much on Sunday morning so the white bag was perfect. It also brought a true vintage element into the retro themed outfit. My husband really liked this ensemble which surprised me.
