Happy with my Scuba Skirt

We all have had no doubt something that we fell in love with right away, until the price ticket scared us off!
One of Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5th emails showed such a gem.
Of course I tried to wait till it got on sale but then it was SOLD OUT!
Wearing it here, with my sewing creation that I've shown you before.
It goes perfect with this Silk Quilted Vest that I paired with silk Escada blouse.
The Scuba Skirt is in a moss green and so are my Escada shoes.
Here is the J BRAND Kimberly Scuba Skirt that I've posted on Pinterest, just scroll down.
Also the back side with special zipper.
Just like a dream object...
One rainy day I thought, why not Google this J BRAND Kimberly Scuba Skirt?
Low and behold, at Poshmark.com I found it; new and half price and in a size S!
Laughing with this cast iron 'OWL', It can hold a votive candle for special light effect.
We got it long before I joined the Choir of the Knight Owls...
Love the length of this skirt so much and the freedom.
I had an A-line Escada skirt but our late Spooky boy did claw it while carrying him on my hip to the mail box. I got two holes from his hind legs where he dug in!
At that time he was still an indoor only cat and he got excited about some dog...
But finally, I found this replacement!
Blending in with nature...
This is taken on April 2.
Pleats in the back too and for the zipper you have to check out my Pinterest as it is not visible here.
Yes, we still had azaleas here!
Not much of a show this year, due to the late frost.
Spooky boy did approve of my skirt! They love to linger in our Gazebo.
So does Barty boy, our eldest 13-year old.
And above all, the photographer, husband Pieter who is holding here our HUGE Clematis Lanuginosa Candida blooms.

Thank you for your visit!

  12. Class all the way with the pretty vest and skirt. Such a pretty blouse. If I had legs like you do , I know I would be wearing shorter skirts than I do now. You look wonderful!
    Gorgeous Clematis, never have I seen blooms on one that large.

  13. You match nature and your house. :) I used to wear skirts all the time when I was a working girl in the 80s and 90s. Now, not at all. My husband wishes I'd wear a dress sometimes. Just not comfortable in them at all anymore.
