Finally, after having this amazing suit in my wardrobe for nearly 3 years unworn now, I decided that it should be worn and certainly shown, as it really is a favourite of mine.
I found this Issey Miyake 2 piece suit at the boot sale and tried to get it for £25, but the lady wanted £30-she won, I couldn't lose it over a £5!!
Its pure wool and I think its lately nineties. Very timeless and now maxi skirts are back in trend after a long absence, I thought I would shop my own wardrobe for this style and start wearing it.

The detailing and cut is typical Issey and I could also wear these pieces as separates. I also thought minimal accessories would suit the total outfit too.
What trend can you shop your wardrobe for this summer?

I totally love this outfit (not because it's black)... I love that it is a classic. I'm also shopping my closet for a maxi skirt. I finished shopping my closet for the khaki military pants and I found a lot.
Have a great day! xoxo
Wow! You look great on it Sharon. ;D Love the detail of this dress. And yes, minimal accessories on this outfit makes it show the gorgeousness of the it.

What a great outfit. Even at £30 it was a bargain and you were right not to lose it over a fiver as it would probably have fetched much more on ebay.
What an amazing find, well worth the £30 you paid. Looks fab on you and I agree, minimal accessories all the way.
I absolutely love the maxi length.

oooohohoh! What a great combo! Stunning!
Very classic! And it looks great on you.
Thanks for the note. Aw, thats sweet about the boys..yeah, my brother and I did that to my Dad, too.
I have found a black skirt full of ruffles. Just not sure what sort of top to wear with it. & on the look out for a summer scarf.
Add me to the list of fans of this suit! I think you're right - you COULD wear it as separates! The skirt REALLY intrigues me! Those "puckers"! Wow! You KNOW I like the length, too. Glad it's back in style. I'll just keep on wearing them.
Love the ruching effect. Well worth £30.
Wow, Sharon, what an amazing piece to have in your wardrobe!

The detail is fantastic Sharon!
hope you are having a good monday.

No, you certainly shouldn't have lost this gorgeous piece for a fiver! It looks great worn like this, but you can also wear it seperately. I think I can re-wear everything in my wardrobe this summer - flimsy dresses, denim shorts and dr.scholl shoes... Now all I need is some warmth!
I really want nice oversized shirts.
You look so glamorous in this ensemble, my love - I adore the classic sophistication of the color and the cut. The trend I love this summer is rompers - they're just so comfortable and adorable!! :)
hi dont wear black in summer,
black attracts sun,
Gorgeous outfit, I love the knot detail. I need to sort my wardrobe out pretty soon but I've got plenty of khaki so it'll probably be the military/utility trend.
Ha! You caved in on the price!!
What a great find - that's it I need to meet you for a car boot.
you look great in and I'm going to sort out my summer wardrobe very soon.
I love the pleating at the shoulders! xoxo
you look amazing! I love it. I am into the prairie trend at the moment
Great vintage clothes! You have a great sense of style lovely:)
I'm shopping my closet for nude shoes and animal prints.

just amazing!!! xx
Wow Sharon!!! You look amazing, cannot get over the fact you got this at a car boot sale!
That's gorgeous! I love the detailing!! Looks wonderful on you!
A very monochromatic look indeed. If the skirt was at knee length, it would look better.

Wow...you wanted it bad to spend that much! Great find. It would be a big hit in NYC!
