Whenever I wear a skirt or dress, I always find it challenging to match the tights and the shoes. I did some research and here are the recommended guidelines.

  1. You should match your tights/socks to your shoes.
  2. Or, match your tights to your skirt/dress and keep the shoe neutral.

This outfit just missed St. Patrick’s Day. Not to worry though, as it still embodies the look of spring. This sweater is an oldie but a goodie and super warm. I bought it to compliment the multicolored palette of the skirt. The finishing touch is the bright yellow bubble necklace. If that necklaces doesn’t say spring then I don’t know what does.

Have a great weekend everyone. See you Tuesday!

Flippy Skirt

DSC_0037DSC_0114 DSC_0075Sweater: Ann Taylor (similar) | Skirt: J.Crew (On sale) | Booties: Dansko (similar) | Necklace: Madewell (old) | Bracelet: Stella & Dot (old) | Bag: Micheal Michael Kors (similar) |  Lipstick: Bobbi Brown (Warm Beige) | Lip Gloss: Smashbox Limitless Long Wear (Endless)

The last three outfit posts (including this one) have been monochromatic. This was not intentional – I like color. I don’t even own a  black sweater, unless you count this one with horizontal gold stripes.

On a recent shopping trip I picked up this tweed flippy skirt to add to my growing collection. This silhouette is different for me and I love it. I feel like it’s pretty versatile, and can be dressed up or down depending on the shoes/ top. Next time I’ll pair it with a chambray shirt.

On Sunday, I met my best friend for brunch at The Dish Cafe. It was our first time checking it out and the food was really good. We did a little shopping afterwards and went to see Fifty Shades of Grey. We both enjoyed the movie (and were a bit giggly).
