No Slouch

I got this skirt to wear for a special occasion (New Years Eve).  Since then, I've had to be a little creative with figuring out ways to wear it in my everyday life - it's not exactly my usual style!

I opted for a longer sweater - both for warmth and to offer a bit of extra coverage.

I kept things more on the casual side with a slouchy grey tee.

I loved how the grey and gold looked next to each other.

I also made sure the tee was long enough to offer a bit more coverage as well incase I had to ditch the sweater.

I'm looking forward to wearing these sandals throughout the summer.  The navy color is a bit unexpected - I haven't come across many navy shoes - and I love it!

Now, if only the sun would come out and warm things back up!

Generally I shy away from skirts like this (uber-fitted), but I decided to take a step outside of my comfort zone and take a chance on it.  Aside from it majorly shortening my stride, it is actually quite comfortable.  I ended up wearing it with my gold sequin tee (seen here) for New Year's Eve.

Framing the colorful skirt and shirt with grey helped pull the whole look together.  I kept accessories to a minimum - aside from the broach.

Let's face it, the stars of the show (aside from the skirt) were the shoes.  Who doesn't love a bit of sparkle in the afternoon.

I ended up cutting off the second strap of these shoes - it fell right where my ankle bends and made them uncomfortable.

Sniping off the strap made them a bit more wearable.  And with there being two straps, I had no trouble keeping them on my feet.  I've been eyeing them for ages and finally purchased them on sale, I'm happy I could make them work.

 The vintage sunglasses are hand-me-downs from my dad.  And the top provides a nice bright pop.
