The last time I remember wearing this outfit was to a company Christmas party in 2006. I thought the red was festive for Christmas back then, but now I think the shirt is a little bit too low cut and the outfit kind of makes me look like a witch. The Christmas party was during my first year at the company and the party was held at Maggiano's in The Grove. I got a little tipsy and fell out of my chair during the party. All my co-workers thought it was so funny and joked about it at every employee social gathering and party thereafter until I moved on to another job. The skirt was free. I got it out of a clothing donation bag. We went over to one of my co-worker's houses during our lunch break to go through clothes she was donating. The material is stretchy and form fitting. I used to wear it to work there. It's very comfortable. It's made by Express Tricot. 88% Tactel Nylon and 12% Lycra Spandex. Size S. Made in the USA.
I got the shirt right before I moved to LA from Boston from Filene's Basement. I don't remember how much it cost but it couldn't have been more than $20. I loved the color and the sleeves. I've actually worn the shirt a few times to more dressy events. I still like it but I think it's too low cut for me now and the waistline of the shirt is very loose fitting. It's made by Hot Tempered. The body is 46% polyester, 46% rayon and 8% spandex. The trim is 45% acetate and 55% rayon. Size M. Made in the USA.
I used to own a couple of long skirts with slits on the side. I always wore them with my knee high boots. I bought these boots specifically to wear with those skirts. I like them because the heel is very low (about 2 1/2 inches). I got the boots from zappos.com for between $30-$20. They're called Junipar Black Distress. Made by Annie.
