Outfit of the Week:  The Hybrid

​So, this Mick Jagger/Lilly Pulitzer hybrid is one of those combos you would see first as separates, and some nut job would say “try ‘em together,” and you’d be like “WAHHHHH?”  But, guess what, it works!
 
I wore this for opening night of our drama production of BYE BYE BIRDIE, and I loved it.  This Chiquita mini skirt is definitely not for picking bananas, unless you wear a very opaque booty short to cover, well,  the booty.  It is waaaay shorter than it looks, and as much as I do love, For Love and Lemons, they have no give, support the zipper industry, and fabrics are very sheer.  (This skirt does have a decent liner).  My recommendation here is to go up a size.   I will stay this, with a few tugs after I got up from my seat, the skirt didn’t move, so that was a plus.   FLaL can be a little pricey, but they have staying power, and I have never had a repair issue with any of their stuff.   I love their rompers and summer clothes, but keep in mind they are more fitted than my beloved Free People, and when there is a zipper, I tend to cringe, but if you over-fit you should make it.  

THE SKIRT from REVOLVE.COM

Top this one…..with the Eagle Montain Tank from Project Social T.  If you still consider yourself a late seventies, early eighties burn out rocker, this season was named for you.  “Band Ts” or rocker tees are the IT item to pair with anything…skirts, shorts, denim and I am loving them with a glitzy choker.   Revolve paired the tank with the FLaL skirt above, and I thought the top was cropped….it’s not.  So, I knotted it to meet the band of the skirt, which made the top more fitted, and the outfit itself more streamlined.  I would even go a size smaller, (yes, smaller) to get a more fitted design.

The armholes on this t were wide, probably on purpose to don a “fun bra” or bralette with some lace or criss-cross.   This one, from South Moon Under has a fun front, visible above the t, or something tike this, peeking out of the back.  Either will cover your regular bra in a fun, show some skin way.
  
Hip Mom Hint:  Since the skirt was shorter than I imagined, I candy-coated with a long black cardigan for “pop” and coverage.   A great open toe spring bootie is the footwear here.   Stay neutral or nude.   There is so much going on with mega prints here, you don’t want to look like the NBC peacock.
