The Wedding Skirt Visits Clarendon

Clarendon Estate , a short drive from where I live , is one of our grand colonial properties, consisting of
a three storey Georgian house , many outbuildings , all surrounded by hectares of parklands.

The Sarah Paccini olive green skirt that I wore in February to my son’s wedding had been waiting in the wings for the perfect opportunity to make a reappearance.

 Today turned out to be a little cooler than was originally forecast , so the top I had planned to wear was
returned to the closet for another warmer day, and this long sleeved knit from Paule Ka from many seasons
ago filled the gap. I rather like the bow and peek-a-boo detail on the shoulder , it takes a rather plain knit
up a notch.I added my old favourite beads and dangley earrings,old Chanel sunnies and bronze wedges.

I knew when I bought this skirt it was perfect with the formal top I wore to the wedding but it would
also work with many more colours and styles. These days my clothing has to have many different guises
and be able to do double duty, formal or relaxed , day and night and stand the test of time .

    A good skirt plays many roles and adjusts to whatever is required. It's a beautiful piece, and you look so stylish.

    Jill, I love your style philosophy of multitasking! I feel that I now built my wardrobe and mainly will be wearing my pieces in different arrangements, and only purchase from time to time when I see something really special. It wasn't an easy task, but I have a feeling that I completed it in 3 years. Now on to multitasking!Your skirt is gorgeous, and I am glad it had such a fun outing! I always admire this necklace, and the peak-a-boo detail of your sweater is so sweet! You are right, such details make even a simple style something special!Thank you so much for joining Midlife Fun!!
