Statement Skirt

 

I can't believe it's August and I felt it necessary to "jacket" an outfit - I guess that's the difference between NC and TX! With that said I am quite pleased with the way the skirt turned out revisited. I changed the top and a fe accesories. Printed skirts like this are so easy to wear, and always ensure the compliments. I am snatching up all the statement skirts I can this season.

Which reminds me... Have you ever passed up a purchase and immediately regretted it? I found a great skirt for fall and didn't purchase it - even though it would have been a great addition to my wardrobe. So please keep in mind these

Vulnerable Purchasing Times:

1.Out of Town Shopping

2. During a Sale

3. In a Rush

 

I have found the best thing to do in these situations is to Know the Return Policy and take a deep breathe! I am a Store Wanderer - one who walks through stores with items until you decide.. to purchase or not to purchase- that is the question. I am a Dressing Room Junkie- gotta try it on!

Am I Falling for Fall?

I don't know about you ladies but I feel fall fast approaching whether we like it or not! My first instinct is oh yay Fall is possibly my favorite time of year to dress for... Because like a dear friend told me knce "I look good in all those ugly colors"

My second thought is to be a nonconformist and say it's still hot outside... What is Fall and what are all these long sleeves? By September I am usually ready for cooler weather and to dress along with the season. Which is one thing that is easier said than done in the South!

 

Are you ready for Fall yet?

One challenge I am facing is that all the summer items are on sale - which is where I shop! However, there are some pieces that are in the summer sale that appear more fall -esque (once again in the South). So the challenge is buying pieces that are "transitional"

One of my main area of concern are shoes... which is why I have to give a plug to the Steve Madden sale. Fall preview 30% off yes please - Summer clearance additional 50% off yes please ... but be warned stay away from cork bottomed shoes and overly strappy sandals THESE SCREAM SUMMER

 About the Outfit:

I was in LOVE with this skirt when I purchased it. I soon realized it was a challenge for me to  find something to pair it with. I would love to find add some leopard to the ensemble next time. I was please how the lace top complemented the girly skirt. super fun and flirty look!
