a perfect failure: hideous polyester skirt

As you can see from previous posts, I have no problem with maxi skirts. I do have problems with polyester hideousness. Whatever you do, don't buy this ugly, ugly skirt. It will cut your legs off at a funny place. It is made of double-knit polyester.

I'd argue it was a good buy for a trip to a conservative culture because the artificial fiber will make sure it never creases, only you'd want ankle-length for that. This skirt has no redeeming value.

That's an affiliate link. If you were foolish enough to buy the skirt, I'd make money. I don't need the money that badly. Do not buy this skirt.

PS: if you do need a skirt for your trip to Jerusalem, this maxi skirt would be a nice choice.

a perfect beachy tunic

I think this tunic is very Jackie O in the beach in Nantucket. It has a lovely drape and the neck would frame the fame just right.

a perfect strong-shoulder dress

This zip front dress would look fantastic on a woman who likes a strong shoulder. I love the nipped waist and the exposed zipper.

a perfect bohemian dress - maybe

I just can't decide about this one. I've been stalking it on Etsy for at least two years and I just can't decide. What if the seller screws up when making it plus size? What if it looks hideous-wacky when on instead of charming-wacky?

But the picture, it draws me in. I wants, I wants. I know, for $76 I should just buy it already and find out. Maybe if you click enough affiliate links I will?

Anyone have an opinion?

This one is not an affiliate link, so clicking will not help me buy that dress!

a perfect print skirt

This is a knockout from Not Your Daughter's Jeans.I love the subtle animal print, the sturdy denim fabric, and the just tight enough fit. It makes me want to convert to pencil skirts. You could wear this with anything.

Ahoy! Affiliate link above!

a perfect handbag

I love the combination of python print and bright red in this Danier bag, although bronze or pewter would also be lovely. The red one, though, could go from jeans to a suit to a party dress without blinking.

a perfect laid back blazer

I am so in love with this perfect casual blazer. I can picture wearing it everywhere. I especially love the funky tiered back.

This one's an affiliate link. You click, I profit. A teeny tiny amount.

a perfect sequined dress

Another piece from Nordstrom's, which I want so very much. The sequins, the length (which should be right at the knee on a non-model) the open shoulder and the perfect v-neck.

a perfect metallic sweater

Wouldn't this sweater look fantastic with skinny jeans. Ooh, or tone-matched corduroys?

a perfect messenger bag

I own this in black, and I get asked at least once a week where I got it. It's big - much bigger than it looks in the picture. Big enough for a laptop and several books and a cardigan sweater and piles of odds and ends. I use the big front pocket alone to carry diapers and baby wipes. The strap is long enough to be cross-body for even the plussest of plus size girls. I adore this bag.

a perfect wide-shaft wide-width boot

OMG this boot. Wide shaft, flat heel, designer look and quality. Available in wide width sizes. I want. So very much. It's not a cheap pair of boots, but they are on sale this week for $179 instead of the normal $250.

This one's not an affiliate link. I get nothing if you click.

a perfect drape-neck shirt

This shirt is lovely when on. Fitted a bit through the bottom, drape low enough to be pretty but not low enough to get difficult to wear. Nice in photographs, and you can dress it down with jeans or up with an a-line shirt. I am going to buy it in every color.

That Amazon link was an affiliate link, so I'll make a bit of money if you click.
