Not much else to say in today’s post except that I love having a like-sized friend with awesome taste living close by. It’s even better that our styles are a bit different, as it allows me to experiment outside my comfort zone. I might not pay for this eye-catching skirt (and the alterations it required) myself, but it sure is fun to borrow!
As a piece that really shines on its own, this skirt doesn’t need much styling. I just wanted to instill some essence of spring while staying warm (very brisk in the mornings and evenings here!). This slouchy neon sweater and classic khaki trench – two of my favorite purchases from last year – did the job.
This outfit is nice for a dinner out, or, you can switch into the skirt for after-work cocktails with colleagues. I love how the demure longer length balances out the party aspect of all-over sequins.
love all of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Very classy and chic styling. Love the balance of sequins skirt with the neon top!

Hi Jenn! Glad you got to take advantage. I'm still looking for the right pair of brown strappy sandals, but I do love red heels. I last wore mine here https://www.extrapetite.com/2012/01/lookbook-sweater-dress-simples.html but I'm looking forward to bringing them back out again with brighter colors.
I hope Gap will come out with another version soon! I guess the time to buy it was before the neon craze hit : /
THank you so much for the wishes, Sandy & Lien (below) !
Hi there, I'm so sorry for my late reply, but here is the one I have plus another size I tried on: https://www.extrapetite.com/2011/07/oversized-watches-for-small-wrists.html
Hi there – Unfortunately, I can't offer any tangible advice as I don't have experience with dressing your body type. I definitely think pencil skirts can still work, but it may be harder to find ones that aren't too big on your waists, yet not too snug across the hips and butt. Have you tried A-line skirts? I have a curvier bottomed friend and that silhouette looks darling on her.
I have 2 sisters and if we all lived together we would probably swap clothes all the time. That skirt looks amazing on you!
Love that — so chic!
Sadly I've never been able to share clothes much with friends — I have one or two that I could borrow tops from, but that's pretty much it. Too much height difference, bust difference, etc. It's always sounded like fun, though!
Jean, you are so gorgeous, The these photos are breathtaking! The length of the skirt make you look really tall!
i love this look on you jean! i used to have friends nearby that i could borrow and share clothes with but not anymore :[

Just stumbled on your blog and loving it! I like how you dressed down the skirt by pairing it with the trench. Super cute! And I know what you mean about having friends you can borrow clothes from…it's pretty much the basis of our blog: http://themarcystop.blogspot.com/
