currently obsessing over...short, frilly skirts

Inspired by a couple of my favorite bloggers…

my latest obsession has become

short, frilly skirts.

Formerly…I had a career in banking…

so I was accustomed to wearing skirts.

Typically…knee-length accompanied by a matching blazer.

 (Yawn…)

Don’t doubt that I tried to mix it up as often as possible

 with a brightly-colored cardigan and camisole…

much to my boss’ dismay.

Til now…I had not found a suitable, comfortable option

that would work within my new lifestyle…

until now!!

Along with the denim mini seen (here)…

My latest purchases have been short, frilly, floral skirts…

(even though it’s almost winter?!)

That I pair with layered tights (for extra warmth)…

wooly sweaters…comfy (snow-friendly) boots…

and I feel at ease…warm…yet chic!

Sweater vest…Forever 21

Turtleneck sweater…Kohls

Belt…The Limited

Skirt…Charlotte Russe

Tights…Apt.9 (Kohls)

Boots…Curations (HSN)

Bag…Kathy Van Zeeland

Jewelry…XOXO watch, Modcloth earrings,

Daisy Fuentes? (Kohls) bracelet, Target ring

(these earrings from Modcloth are an OCD moment as well)

sunday...casual sunday...

Every Sunday...my husband takes me to breakfast
 before beginning his day on the farm.

Prior to beginning this blog...I made a smaller attempt
to make myself "presentable" to the breakfast crowd...
well...for the most part...

casual for me...still entails big hair...

too-much eyeliner...and full-on jewelry.

But...now that I have you to dress for...
I thought I should take it up a notch...
so I returned to the part of my closet that I had
abandoned since moving out here...skirts!

I want to thank those of you that do check in on me and my blog…

leaving such nice comments…
and to those that inspire me through your own blogs...

you don’t know how much it means to me…
(and to my closet)

THANKS SO MUCH!!
