When Heels Feel Like Home

Blouse:  Silk Liz Claiborne, Thrifted, Skirt:  Zanelli, Thrifted  Heels:  Nine West via eBay


While I see soooo many beautiful outfits throughout the blogosphere, I've found myself returning again and again to what really feels like me.  This perfectly fitted pencil skirt and pink silk blouse are just so ME!  My plan is to hack off some of the sleeves of this top and make it short sleeved.

And with this all, I'm wearing possibly my all time favorite shoes!  When I'm in heels, I swear, it just feels like home!  I hope all you girlies have a fabulous week!  BTW, if you're interested, you can check out my store here.  Also, be sure to check out Visible Monday over at Not Dead Yet Style!

      To be honest, the hair was right at the beginning of the day...wasn't looking so swingy a couple of hours later! LOL

    Like Pam said, you look absolutely fabulous, and your hair is so, so pretty. I love a pencil skirt and a smoking heel! Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.

    There's something so lovely and lady like about an ice pink silk blouse - what a beauty Serene! I've just bought something similiar for Spring. And those Nine West shoes are so sexy!

    This classic outfit looks beautiful on you and yes I agree it fits your style to a T.
    I just read your previous post on body perception and I agree with most of what you said. I'm 53 and not quite ready to give up the ghost! In years past I could drop a few pounds for a special occasion without much effort. These days the effort is harder and results are smaller. I'll be on your wagon soon!

    Beautiful color here. If the truth were told, a pencil skirt and a blouse--crisp cotton, as well as silk sometimes, are the real me too. I don't do heels so well, but then I don't have a pair as nice as this. You look great, Serene.

    Hi Serene! Very nice outfit. I'm off to check your store for an aqua leather skirt. (Just kidding!) (About the skirt, that is - I am going to check your store.) I saw an aqua Ultra suede skirt last week and almost got it. But I'm waiting for one more like yours. Oh, and I had forgotten about how you shop off your sleeves. Love your style!

      Beryl! Blouses everywhere cringe when they see me coming! LOL I can't wait for you to find your skirt....I'll keep my eyes open for one during my treasure hunting! Surely between the two of us we can find you one!

    I like your pretty strappy heels. The pencil skirt looks so flattering, I like it with your pink shirt. Nice curls by the way, I like how your hair falls on your shoulders...so feminine chic!

      Thanks Jeannie! I can't picture a pencil skirt with flats...they just BEG for heels, no?
