Hello, hello! Happy Monday! Here we are with yet another week. I really don't understand why it feels like time is flying so quickly! The end of my semester is in sight, although I still have a lot of work to do before it is over. Studio art classes can be difficult because everything requires so much time and there is project after project. Sometimes I wish I could just study for a test and move on! In the end, all the work I have been doing is really rewarding and I am learning so much. It just feels so good to be creating again! Hopefully at the end of the semester I will share what I have been up to :)
Things have definitely been cooling down here in CA and I can still get away with wearing dresses and skirts without tights, but I don't think that will last too much longer! I will soak it up for as long as I can though :)
Since this past summer, midi skirts have been on my radar. I always strayed away from skirts in general and never felt like I knew how to style them very well or that they were very flattering on me. That all changed after I found this skirt and I have been hooked ever since! I have added four new skirts to my wardrobe since then and am having a great time playing around with all the ways I can wear them.
This particular tulle ballerina-ish skirt is probably my favorite addition to my collection! I came across it on a shopping trip at Kohl's and just knew I had to have it. I love the neutral color of it, which makes me feel a little more grown up while wearing it, rather than feeling like I should be playing dress-up with my four-year-old little cousin.
I have only worn it a couple of times so far, but when I wore it for the first time while out and about shopping in Santa Monica with Dai, I got 5+ compliments on it! While waiting in line at Starbucks, a girl who works at Anthro told me she loved it and that they just got a $200 one in their store that looks just like it. I assure you that I definitely did not pay anywhere near that much for it, so I must be doing something right :)
I also recently purchased this necklace to wear to a wedding and I really love it! It is the most unique one I own due to the fun shapes and multicolors. This has been the year of statement necklaces for me and I plan on adding many more to my collection since they are such a nice touch to any outfit!
Just a last little note on this skirt: I really love how it can be dressed up or down. Add some heels and a fancy hairdo and you're ready for an elegant party! Or, dress it down with some flats and your favorite t-shirt to add a little flair to an otherwise ordinary day. Plus, in all honesty, I feel like a grown up princess (or maybe a punk rock princess... SoCo anyone?) when I wear this skirt and what's better than that? :)
Hope you all have a great week ahead and that you're able to add a little fancy to your day as well ;)
