I am soo happy! My DPs I got last week from Macy's went on sale this week
for 40% off, PLUS another 20% off today for the "Friends and Family" sale.
I
just happened to be in Macy's where I bought them last week and the SA
told
me to go home and get them and he would adjust the price. So I ended up
getting them for 60% off!! Wooo hooo!
I got "Belica" in black calf leather. These are them in case you did not
see
my earlier post.

The outfit I am trying to put together with these is a skirt, opaque
tights,
sweater, scarf, and my black Andrew Marc lambskin bomber jacket. Can
anyone
suggest some skirts for this look?
BTW, I also stopped in the DP store on Camden in BH today and boy that is
a
beautiful store. They have leather jackets right now that are so beautiful
you might start crying. Be ready to cough up $1,200+ though. However, some
of their shoe and boot inventory is on sale right now at a great savings.
I don't like to wear tight skirts, but I would aim for a very simply cut
skirt that reveals a good bit of leg if you are comfortable with that. How
does the jacket fit? If it is cropped and wellfitted, the skirt can be
fuller. If the jacket is sort of loose or bulky, you probably want the
skirt to have a smaller silhouette. (I like a short, aline or, in a
whimsical mood, short pleated skirt, but I'm notoriously immature.) The
slight chunkiness of the boots shouldn't compete with oversized jacket *and*
skirt unless you are going for a flowy prairie look. (That's cute, too, if
you are tall enough to pull it off. I, sadly, am not.)

p.s. Trying to finance my purchases by selling purses and Wolford tights on
ebay: www.tinyurl.com/68g26 . I love to do ebaybiz with other a.f.ers. If
you bid and win, please let me know so I can throw in some extras.
