Cutwork felt maxi skirt

Hello stylish ladies! In today's outfit I'm featuring my new cutwork maxi skirt. This is definitely a skirt for colder days because it consists of two layers, where the first outer layer is made of fine felt with 50% wool in its composition. The second, inner layer of the skirt that can be seen through the cutwork is in mulberry color and that's why I chose to pair the skirt with a magenta-colored sweater. The cut of the skirt is very elegant and feminine and these are just the two qualities that I really appreciate.

Did you know? First forms of cut works appeared in Europe between the thirteenths and sixteenth centuries. During this period of history the craft was confined principally to the nunneries, being used to adorn priests' sacramental robes and for other ecclesiastical purposes. And only after the fifteenth century the art of cutwork flourished in the homes of the nobility as well as the peasantry.

The sweater is quite old but of good quality, it has some wool and mohair in its composition as well as metal thread. Besides, it's simply beautiful with all that patterning in its design and with metal thread being incorporated into its knitting material.

I wore a big beady pendant in contrasting cobalt green color with the look. I really wanted that contrast.

Of course, as it is still cold enough I had my navy blue leather jacket with me. It goes perfectly well with the skirt.
