EB, recently you posted a picture of a sheer tulle skirt-over-leggings look item you'd purchased (I think it was Bruno Cucinelli?). My question: How (i.e., with what tops and shoes) and where will you wear this? I just bought a ridiculously cheap but really cute tiered black tulle skirt that has a similar (though more floofy and less sophisticated) vibe as your piece and I need encouragement. It will require either something fitted or cropped as the top and that fitted or cropped thing will need to be very simple and probably edgy/tough to balance the floofiness. I'm thinking cropped leather jacket sort of thing.
This skirt both is me (I am a sartorial freak and love eclectic--okay, weird--items) and isn't me (I am very cowardly about actually letting my sartorial freak flag fly in public).
All are welcome to chime in! But please, nobody tell me that this look is too young for me. It definitely IS too young for me. And I. Don't. Care. :no::blah:
Okay, I'm trying not to care. :hrmm:

Fitted long or short sleeved tees in white or black! With a leather jacket for sure! Love tulle skirts!

LOL, gk! More than a year ago I did do a teal blue chunk on the back underside of my hair. I really liked it, and so did DH. But goofy hair color has moved on since then to, like, unicorn rainbow sparkles. I'm not quite up for THAT. But I'd do a blue bit again!

Mindi, I must prefix this that I can never pull of the tulle skirt as I don't have anywhere to wear it to. However, I agree with others, a fitted top I think it's a must, e.g. body suit from Wolford. And I love the idea of adding leather jacket and biker boots, statement jeweller definitely! I think an IG / fashion blog photo is in the making! A disused barn or a desert scene like Joshua Tree National Park would be the ideal setting! You go girl!

Mine is tea-length, gk--I don't have the legs for anything shorter. It is lined with opaque fabric to the knee and sheer below that.
And xiangxiang, I don't have anywhere to wear it, either. If it hadn't been cheap I couldn't have let myself buy it. I think I have to convince DH to take me out for dinner somewhere super-funky, have a drink while getting ready (:p), and wear it then. If DH will be seen with me in public!
Everyone, thank you SO MUCH for the ideas and encouragement! You guys are the best! :flowers:

Good advice, Chanel. Do you poke holes in the paper for the plants?
We have pots and raised beds for the tomatoes and peppers and not much in the way of weeds. It's my flower beds that get weeds. And my ground cover. I can make myself crazy and have to remind myself that it is outdoors and not to be so OCD. I ate tomatoes every day all summer until I finally said no mas and DD took the last bowl into work.

I planted the plants first then did the apaper, etc. it really worked well and the weeds that did I grow were so easy to pull. I don't like the weeds in the flowers either. It's almost a relief when the cold weather comes and the plants are done.

I know exactly what you mean about being relieved when the yard is "closed" for winter. When all the furniture, toys, plants, etc. are put away/done, there is a sigh of relief. Even though I love it all spring and summer.
