Many ways to wear Portia

I had a very busy week at the end of April. I had lots of different meetings during the week and I had two kika shows on the weekend. I challenged myself to only wear 3-4 pieces during the week so I didn't have a lot of kika laundry to do before my weekend shows. I like how different you can look by just having a few pieces. Imagine if you mixed it up with a pair of jeans or leggings or something else in your closet? I didn't have time to document all my different combos during this week but I am pretty sure I wore my Bootcut Pants in Black with Charlotte. 

First up was a maxi dress style where I "cheated" and used two pieces to make it look like one. 
Daphne in Ocean (custom color) ~ $85
Charlotte in Meadow (signature color) ~ $64
Portia in Meadow (signature color) ~ $95

Here I just changed the look by swapping out the Daphne with a different color. It is also one size smaller (can you tell?) than the Ocean.

Again, I changed the jacket for a new style and it changes the look again. 
Leslie in White (custom color) ~ $68
Charlotte in Meadow (signature color) ~ $64
Portia in Meadow (signature color) ~ $95
Here I am without any jacket so you can see the Charlotte and Portia as a long skirt combo.

I pulled up Charlotte so you can see how these are indeed two pieces and how I folded over the top of the dress (Portia) to make it a long skirt on me. That is my nude shaper you see between the garments not my skin!

I also figured out a day or two later that I actually liked it better when I tucked in Charlotte and ruched up Portia so it gave me more of a defined waistline. Both work but now I want to try this combo in a solid color. I am curious if the two pieces will blend together as nicely as the print. Now ... What color should I pick?

  1. I love your combo as well Monica. So cool to see how the black jacket makes it more dressy and formal and the ocean jacket makes it very spring.
    Daphne.
