...still a fitted brown velvet jacket (with a belt) and a big pink(-ish beige) skirt, it's just a different big pink(-ish beige) skirt. Okay, so maybe we're using the term "remix" a little loosely today.

There's the original, and you can see what drew Mary to it. Other than the beautiful contrast between the heavy velvet and the light tulle, it's a separate jacket and skirt, so it's ripe for the remixing that Mary loves to do. The skirt's been
worn with a different outfit as well, although - much like the jacket, I think - it has yet to match the perfection of the original pairing.
The new skirt isn't new itself; Mary wore it in a Vogue Australia photoshoot. It's a ball skirt by Australian designer Rachel Gilbert. Can't ever have too many ball skirts, can you? Of course you can't.
Better one way, or the other? You tell me.
