Floofy Friday

Happy Friday! I hope your day was as floofy and flowy as mine!
The floofiness (floofiacity?) is entirely due to this wondrous cotton skirt. It is nearly a full circle skirt, and the double layers give it extra movement. It's quite fun to swoosh around in it. I last wore it here in May (2nd outfit) as part of a casual weekend ensemble.
This is my first wearing of it to work, and I was quite pleased with it. Now I'm debating whether I should keep it in my autumn/winter wardrobe. Hmmm...not sure how well the cotton would work with tights, but I could always wear a slip under it. Thoughts?

The blouse is my flies silk Smoking Lily top, also last worn in May here, only with a suede skirt and yellow shoes. I never realized that the top dips down in the front and back, which gives it a nice shape over the full skirt.
I yanked everything in at the middle with my leather obi.

The stuff:
My wonderful Teapot Darjeeling Fluevogs, last seen here in June with velvet and ruffles.

Bling bits:
I went with a steampunk aesthetic: leather cuff, an old obsidian ring I've had since the mid-80s, skull earrings and my octo-necklace.

Blouse (Smoking Lily sample), skirt (Lapis, consignment), shoes (Teapot Darjeelings, Fluevog), obi (consignment), cuff (Guess, thrifted), obsidian ring (gift from Mom & Dad, mid-80s), spoon ring (About Tine), lapis lazuli ring/Fulvia ring (Wendy Brandes), earrings (local), necklace (Raven's Rest Studio).

I hope your weekend is fully floofy!

  1. The skull earrings and the leather obi!!!! Oh gosh, I love those. ^_^ Your whole outfit looks amazing. I would say try that skirt in the fall, if you can. It's really pretty and it looks so swishy.

  2. I think it's gorgeous. It'd look amazing with a chunky knit or slouchy sweater.

  3. Look at you, with your floofiness spread all over the stairs! Fun skirt, lots of movement. I think you could definitely add a slip to wear it with tights, but it will still be beige. That said, it's a very classy color combination with the dark teal and black.

    Happy Friday!

  4. That top is beautiful with the fuller skirt! :)


    What about a tall-ish pair of boots and a slip under the skirt to make it work for cooler weather? Would negate the need for tights :)

  5. Those shoes are soooo cute! I love floofy skirts and never part with them. You should keep this one. I could see this working in cooler weather with a chunky roll knit sweater and Stevie Nicks style knee high boots.

  8. The colour, shape, and hem of that top are so pretty, and the flies make it awesome. Hooray for serious floof - wonderful skirt! Though you could totally make it work out of season, I wonder if you will want to? Teeth-gnashing frustration shouldn't sully this perfect love!

  10. Floofalacious! Could you wear long boots under the skirt, with a slip, when it gets colder? The skirt may not get stuck on leather boots/ankle boots?
