Perspective

 To quote one of my all-time favorite Friends episodes, "It's all relative!". In my day-to-day life, it's completely impractical to wear heels. I felt like such a lady in this outfit that I wanted to show how I would ideally wear it, not how I actually wore it. While they're cute and all, I'm not going to pretend for one minute that I wore these pumps outside of the photoshoot.

Since I bought it in the winter, I've always worn this skirt with dark, heavy tops. All summer I've been meaning to style it for warm weather so I paired it with a cream embroidered tank. The sheer lady-likeness of it all inspired me to do a casual bangles version of the WASPy strand of pearls. I tied a pearl necklace around twice and added a silver pearl bracelet. I attempted a jewelry DIY to add a silver chain to the mix, but it didn't look right. Finally, a thin black belt was perfect to pull it all together.

Paradox

Hey guys! So I'm having trouble deciding if this is a "spring" skirt. It doesn't really matter because I would wear it any season anyway, I'm definitely the person that never puts away their summer clothes and just piles on sweaters. But that would give me an excuse for why it doesn't match many of my winter clothes. I'm sitting here in my coat (yes, inside), yearning for the days when I can wear this with just a tank and my little pink sandals. Ahhh summer.

I found that a nice way to winterize the skirt was to pair it with dark neutrals and lots of cozy textures. I'm in love with these knitted tights from Hue. They match everything, just like regular tights, but they're like a coat for my legs. I'm tempted to say they're warmer than jeans...This black cardigan is one of the only black tops I own, so I hit up a sale at The Loft today and bought a black sweater. Check back tomorrow for a special jewelry post!
