I wore this outfit to work and then I wore it to the office holiday party.
the boden isabella tulle midi skirt
Boden is just one of those brands that I think most people who favor classic dressing and acid brights, sleep on. I bought several pieces from the British label for the holiday season, this skirt being one of them.
There are unfortunately no pockets on the skirt, but it does feature an elastic waist. There are several layers of tulle; it was the dark green dot layer is what ultimately made me add to cart.
I am wearing the Boden Isabella Tulle Midi Skirt in a size 12 tall. The elastic waist allows a more flexible fit; if in between sizes, size down.
the banana republic essential silk top
As always, Banana Republic delivers on tall size range holiday collection in natural / luxe fabrics. I jumped at this silk – silk, I say! not some poly amalgam! – shirt when I saw it was available in my size as I knew I would be able to wear it with anything from a dressy skirt, delivering on a cocktail party outfit, to a pair of denim, for something much more low-key.
(consults notes / order details) I ordered this shirt on sale for over fifty percent off, but it’s versatility makes it a good value even at its regular price of 120 dollars
I am wearing the Banana Republic Essential Silk Top in a size medium tall.
