Weekend outfit: Kiernan, Cyan Blue and Flaming Red

skirt and boots

Here, paired with two pastels: cyan blue (an old H&M sweater) and flame (… I know, really).  Purchased the Collection floral brocade skirt from J.Crew on popback last winter, but available in factory version here (much shorter as well).

I was not too crazy about the shape of this skirt initially but it has grown on me (a fitted top balances out the wide bottom in my opinion). The colors of the skirt are gorgeous in real life, not sure if the factory version lives up to the retail colors, but if you own the factory version, please share your review!

Reviews: Tory Burch Kiernan Riding Boots in Almond

I seem to be on a TB roll…not for long, no worries 🙂 .  Ordered the Kiernan Riding boots during the Nordstrom sale (the Almond color is not available at Nordstrom anymore but you can purchase directly at Tory Burch (or full price as am posting this at Neiman Marcus)

Sissi’s Review:

Pros: high quality leather (why does it say veg leather…?), love the simple style, glamorous T logo, very comfortable, rich almond color, low heel, leather and fabric lining, leather and rubber sole

Cons: price (even with coupon and sales, still pricey…Aldo shoes offer similar alternatives at a fraction of the cost, though the quality is not the same), runs a little large so would advise to go half a size down if you prefer a true fit

Sissi’s verdict: A keeper if you have the money to spare; otherwise, get the look for less at Aldo (minus the prestigious logo).

You can take a look at very cute pairings of the gorgeous boots by SoutherCurlsAndPearls here and here (my favorite: HERE…the brown and the green match up beautifully!)
