I don’t have a lot of check pieces in my closet. But when I saw this ruffled pencil skirt on Gail of Is This Mutton? I knew it had to be mine. I actually ordered it retail! (similar here).

It’s yet another beautiful sunny Florida day, so all I needed to be comfortable was my new, fabulous skirt, and a silk tank top (sim). I love wearing my funky leather heels (sim), although I am careful to hold on to guard rails and grab bars while I walk. There will be no reruns of broken bones 🙂
And of course, the doggie print cast cover is the charming finishing piece. By the way, only two more weeks till I get my hardware removed, oh happy day!
In the rare event temperatures drop below 90, I am ready with my Trina Turk check jacket (sim). I love how all these black-and-white pieces play together: Skirt, doggie cast-cover, jacket. I’m wearing a gorgeous black bead necklace, created for me by Suzanne Carrillo. The massive vintage cuff is from the Citizen Rosebud shop.

I LOVE this skirt, Patti – so flirty and chic! Have a great week 🙂

That really is a fabulous skirt, I can see why you had to have it. The jacket works so well with it, as does your doggie cast. I bought my daughter a black and white check top with ruffle sleeves today and now I want one so we can match!

Cha cha cha! That’s such a fun and flirty skirt, Patti! You look fabulous. x
This is ladyllike because of the lenghth and the jacket, the shoes. Its edgy because of the style mix and so cool because of the pattern and it suits you really well Patti. Love!!!! Wishing you a wonderful week. A bit busy at the moment and offline a lot. Visited my father at the weekend. That was wonderful but did not get a lot of work done 🙂 xxxx Sabina
That’s a fabulous skirt, Patti! I see why you had to get it retail! And I love black and white pieces, too, and how easy it is to do a bit of pattern mixing with them…
Thanks for the link up & have a great week!
That is a pretty fabulous skirt…and the shoes aren’t too bad either! Yep, I’m a big fan of handrails! 🙂

That is a really darling skirt and I think when an item has so much pizzazz it’s good to pair it with a more understated complimentary piece like the silk tank. However, when you popped on the pattern play with that great little jacket I was even more impressed!
I’m glad to hear that the cast has only two more weeks to do its job. Hope you’ve mended good as new!
thank you, Jude, you’re so kind. xo
What a gorgeous classy outfit, and yet playful with the funky shoes and doggy print “accessory”! Your trademark, Patti! Lovely hair too, you look utterly fabulous!
I love it!!
Love your pattern mixing Patti, and what a beautiful necklace Suzanne made you. Thank you for the link up!

You are tempting me with your skirt Patti! Love the style and how you accessorized with the pretty yet bold cuff and those fun shoes. I like chunky shoes too…
Glad you soon will be getting your cast off.
Have a great week!

Oh, this skirt! Patti, it is so darling! I need to go check out how Gail styled it, too. And I love the mix of checks with the jacket (and of course the mix of prints with your doggy print cast cover!) Just perfect!

Thanks for the mention Patti – I’ve been looking forward to seeing you in the ruffled gingham skirt! It was probably my best purchase this summer.
Looking good in your check combination, love that skirt on you.Glad to hear only two weeks to go until the cast comes off. Many thanks for hosting Visible Monday.
Thanks for sharing and hosting the link-up. Love this outfit and I works so well together.
I’m a bit tame when matching patterns up, but I love this. x Jacqui

Love the shape of the skirt, it fits perfectly, Patti and I like the mix of patterns. You look very elegant and the even the doggie print cast looks cool. Not too long now until it comes off

Hello Patti! I am a new participant to the party, and it’s nice to meet you! I love your sprightly checks–the ruffles and curved lines are so pretty, and you wear the outfit with style.
I’m glad you’re ready if the temperature drops – I love that jacket/skirt combo. But I love your outfit without the jacket too. Plus all the added love from Suzanne and Bella. Only two more weeks? That’s awesome! I thought it might take months, gulp. So this is great news.
This is a great skirt for you, Patti! It looks amazing. Thanks for the link up…have a great week.
I’m loving all your pattern play in black and white.
That skirt looks fabulous on you!
I guess they were all out of the cat print cast covers ; P
Love to see you wearing that necklace again and I appreciate the shout-out.
bisous

Love, love, love. I, too, have been admiring similar skirts on others but I was never able to find one that I thought suited me. It’s good to see you still flying even with the mangled wing. Soon you’ll be soaring again. Thanks for the inspiration to stay visible no matter the circumstances.

That is perfect-I love the skirt too. And I love how the doggie casts add another pattern, but, from experience, I know you are counting the days that you don’t have to have that extra pattern addition!
