I love my Fluted Skirt in Black (worn twice already!) that I purchased the Ivory too. I thought I would change up the review and make an outfit with it. Of course, Ivory goes with everything but I love it with Navy best.

Since we are still in Summer weather this is a good office look for me that will keep me warm in the cold A/C building and cool outside. I layered the Silk Gingham Top (on sale now for $79.99) under the Jeweled Collar Short-Sleeve Shirt in Navy. If I happen to go to an event, happy hour or dinner after work I can take off the s/s shirt and still look put together. Of course, when cooler temps arrive I’ll be throwing my Schoolboy Blazer in Navy over all of this. Lastly, I added the Janey Flats in the Vanilla Multi/Mai Tai Print.

I invaded Gus’s nap area. He’s so tired he doesn’t really care. 
I did want to show this skirt with heels. Don’t my legs look a touch longer in the Bead-Stitch Etta’s? 

Other sleeveless options for layering…
Ruffled Rhinestone Top or Tilda   (check stores for this one)
Silk Keyhole Top  (on promo as of 9/4)
Silk Draped Collar Top  (Where did this come from???) (on promo as of 9/4)


I am pretty sure I’ll get plenty of wear from this skirt. I was surprised at how versatile the Black skirt has been. Both skirts are currently on Back-Order. It is a bit short for someone taller than me (5’2″) but would probably look cute with leggings.

I hope you enjoyed this review of the Fluted Skirt in Ivory. I’ll post a Que Bella as soon as I wear it.

Buying multiples can sometimes be a curse, especially when the item is $100+ (or $50+ for that matter). I hesitated for the longest time (in JC terms) on buying a pair of Etta pumps. I couldn’t trust the CWFS who said this shoe was “all-day, all-night comfortable”. Really? A magic shoe? A magic HIGH-HEELED shoe? I think not. But, I finally bit and purchased my first pair of Etta’s, the Collection Snakeskin.

Ok, so I confess…I have not worn them yet. I just haven’t had the opportunity. They are special. But I will. I really see myself this Fall in Cafe’ Capri’s or jeans with lovely blouses and beautiful heels or flats. Not shorts, tees, jersey skirts, and TB Thora’s. That’s my goal anyway, or so I tell myself. Anyway, I can’t comment on the comfort of the Etta’s yet but when I want something and it’s a great deal, well, the Shoe-Goggles come on.
When those puppies are on, apparently I can’t see color (I’m looking at you “Poppy” Janey Flats that are red on the website but really orange IRL. Really ORANGE.) and don’t fully read descriptions from the CWFS (Crafted in Italy of a woven fabric that has the look of intricate beading). The Etta Bead-Stitch Pumps DO NOT have actual beading AudreyBella!
So the “intricate beading” is actually woven fabric made to look like beading. But, it really does look like beading, from far away, which is where everyone will be when I wear these. 

See…no beading…but pretty none-the-less.

Confess! How many times have you fell for the CWFS description only to be shocked/disappointed/happy that it was not what you thought?
