I thrifted this cream and black striped loose turtleneck sweater a month or so ago and have worn it quite often with jeans, but thought today to pair it with a pencil skirt, not only to act as a debombshelling item, but also to bring in the stripe trend. I tried it first with a plain black pencil skirt and I liked it but it was lacking a wee something. Then I tried it with this black skirt with the cobalt blue wide stripe at the bottom and loved it! Just something a little unexpected, you know?
With the sweater and skirt, I'm wearing black microfishnets (it's quite warm here today - at least by Winnipeg standards!), and my Blondo knee high boots. Anna had started a thread about choosing short boots over long boots and I thought I'd give my knee high boots some love today. To further play up the cream and black in the sweater, I've chosen my cream and black leather handbag. Jewelry is a black/purple/gold bangle.
What do you think? Does this sweater and skirt combination work? What about with the taller boots? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.
