This particular outfit also comes with a totally embarrassing (but hilarious in hindsight) story. My friend Emily and I were on one of our typical shopping trips when I dragged her into Club Monaco. I saw this exact blouse/skirt combination on one of the mannequins and since I love recreating the mannequin looks myself, I instantly snatched up both pieces and headed to the change room where, as luck would have it, I got STUCK. I somehow managed to zip the blouse into the skirt and couldn't get it off! I had all the employees in the store trying to get me out of the outfit and it just wouldn't budge. They ended up having to cut the blouse out! I felt so horrible I bought the outfit. Kind of an apology buy, if you will, but at least I really liked it!
haha so funny!!Hope you don't get the same problem at home! Nice outfit :)

Put your heels up
That is so funny. Something I could easily see myself doing... And I would have bought the outfit too.
ReplyDeleteLuckily it really looks amazing on you! So perfect for work and so beautiful that you can wear it any other time as well :)
I hope you're having an amazing weekend!

Oh my, what an ordeal! At least you're still able to wear the blouse so it wasn't too damaged when they cut it off you, right? Cute outfit though! The details on the skirt are amazing.

Actually this is a new blouse. The other one was left with a giant hole in it and unfortunately went the way of damaged goods :(
DeleteThat's my work ensemble, before I quit to stay home :O) Beautiful skirt. I'd totally wear it.

Love that outfit. That's so sucky you got stuck in it! I love the zipper detail on that skirt! Xx
ReplyDeleteFunny story! Luckily you loved the outfit! It does look good!

Oh no, I can't believe that happened! Awww, well at least you got a beautiful outfit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a story! I can see how that can happen though with silk tops - they can be an individuals best friend or worst nightmare. Hope you didn't end up buying the cut up blouse!
ReplyDeleteLoll....I've had a few of those moments, but luckily I was able to unzip after many attempts! Gorgeous outfit girl! Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I'm following you now:)!
ReplyDeleteHaha that's too funny! I would have been mortified! Cute outfit though :-)
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! I have gotten stuck a few times myself, but have managed to extricate myself without enlisting aid up to now*fingers crossed*. With me, it's usually because my shoulders are too big for the rest of me and I struggle to get things without buttons or zips off.
ReplyDeleteI will ask Emily to describe this to me when I see her next.
Emily tried to get it off me too. When she failed we had to call in the sales associates, haha!
DeleteOh my gosh, what a crazy story! I love this skirt though - especially the leather detail - and I guess fate was telling you that you really REALLY needed the outfit. You look amazing in it, and now I am totally going to watch for that skirt to go on sale! =)

In the end, my friend had to pull the whole thing (blouse + skirt) off me so they could cut the blouse out of the skirt, haha!
DeleteWhat, what a story! So is the fabric ruined now?
ReplyDeletehahahaha you're kidding!!! this is my nightmare. it almost happened to me once, i stayed in there for like 30 minutes until i got it off. but i love the fact that you're telling us about this and hey: the outfit looks gorgeous on you :) so i guess it was worth it. //dariadaria

LOL What!? Did they tear the blouse while cutting you out of it? Did you buy the one that was torn? It is actually really, really cute...the skirt fits you well.
ReplyDeleteAre you on the steps of a courthouse, esquire? ;)

It does look very courthouse-y, doesn't it? It's actually a school, but the courthouse here in Calgary is super nice... it's all marble and high tech (major upgrade from the Vancouver courthouse which is old and concrete).
DeleteI love your skirt! The panels are super flattering are really cute. xx
ReplyDeleteYou look so classy!!

Coming to you by way of Pearls and Paws, and now following! I love this skirt! It is very sophisticated, business and edgy all in one. I also like the picture of the wrap bracelet and how you can see the zipper detail on the skirt in the background. Very cool. Looking forward to more posts!

What a funny story! I hope you didn't buy the exact outfit that saw the sharp end of the scissors though!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a lawyer and just stumbled on your blog, now following :)
The skirt is the same one that caused the problem in the first place but the SAs got me a new blouse :)
Deletefunny change room story! But if it were me, I would be totally embarrassed and sweating to death trying to solve the problem myself.
ReplyDeleteNew follower and you have an awesome blog here

OMG, that is one of my worst nightmares! I have gotten stuck in dresses before and panic and turn red and sweat. It's awful! Especially when you have no one with you to help! Why don't they just put zippers up the back to spare us the horror? Thank you for sharing your story...now I know I'm not the only one!
