Outfit Post : Once Upon a Weeknight

More AltaRoma posts including what I wore to come shortly but in the meantime here’s an outfit post shot on a weeknight – a day-to-night outfit.

I wore this outfit both to work, out shopping after work, and out to dinner later that evening.

If you recall, I had written this post that talked about what I recently bought, I mentioned this jacquard skater skirt and these Nero Giardini knee high boots – so here they are in the flesh.

I love skater skirts for when I plan to spend a whole day out, ok I love a-line and skater skirts every day, every time but for day-to-night outfits, I feel they can really transition, especially if you change shoes. Although the great thing about knee high boots with a chunky heel is that they work for both morning and evening, if they’re comfy like these ones – no changing required!

I don’t think I really need to get into the virtues of a good basic poloneck /turtleneck – honestly I’ve lost count as to how many I own now – quite a few in black and practically in every other colour. …I wear each of them to death – honestly, I think a black poloneck /turtleneck is to fashion what bread and butter is to food. If you actually don’t own one here’s a good option for a black basic poloneck and another one for a burgundy one.
