I used to be a fashion shopper that would pay full price for anything I really wanted- so shopping for fall and winter during the heat of summer, was a rarity.
Now I like bargains- and lately I have been looking through online
fashion catalogs. That's why when I found this Betsey Johnson black
wool-blend belted faux fur collar capelet, I put it in my wish list.
I have several [wool/leather] pencil skirts and full pleated wool skirts in black and charcoal shades- that will work with this capelet.
I am showing a sweater I own with a detachable faux fur collar-- that is similar in "look" to the capelet. The sweater a T.J. Maxx find several years ago.
Here I am showing the sweater with the collar attached and a pencil skirt.
Paired with sheer stockings or opaque black tights, black suede pumps and long black gloves -- and you will have a sophisticated look.
In the meantime-- I have been pulling out cargo pants, capri pants and other summer causal items to see what works with my latest sandal purchases. More later...
How to negate the background as shown in the photos with the pleated skirt and sweater? The outfit was haning on a white door when i took the photos. After loading into Mac OSX iPhoto, edit the photo using the "Exposure" slide feature. It negates the white background and shadows.
