Skirting the Issue

Tuesday, May 15, 2012



* Cardigan (worn backwards) - Nordstrom Rack * Skirt - Forever 21 * T-strap sandals - Steve Madden *
* Ring - Forever 21 * Bracelets - Local store *

I just realized something while editing my pictures this morning, I hardly ever wear pants anymore.  I got rid of all my work pants last year except a few pairs and said I would start over fresh.  Well since then I have purchased maybe three pairs and two of them I have only worn once! I don't like shopping for pants, I guess that's why I don't really have any.  I have yet to come across the perfect fitting dress pant.  I am tired of always having to get my pants altered because they are always too big in the waist.  Why do all that when I can find a beautiful skirt or dress that fits me perfectly.  Summer is approaching anyway I am going to leave the pants for winter and show off these legs! 

With all that being said I LOVE the skirt I am wearing today, the length is perfect it has an exposed zipper in the back, it is fully lined and the front pleating is just right.  Oh and it polka dot!

your skirt is lovely! wearing your cardigan in reverse was a good idea! the style really compliments the skirt and gives it a retro feel x

AHH! I love the skirt.  I keep saying i'll never shop at forever 21 again but I may have to give in for some polka dots!  I'd love to get my hands on this skirt.

I hardly ever wear pants either.  I much prefer skirts and dresses.  This polka dot skirt is soooooo pretty.  And your hair looks great today!  Very ladylike look m'dear!

You look really cute!! I'm so into skirts this spring and summer season. I've been constantly going to the thrift store to see if I can find some midi and long skirts to wear. Now I just need some shoes.  Can you recommend some staples that I should have for the spring and the summer as far as shoes?

This skirt is cute on you. You have such a small waist. I love polka dots! Cute!
Oh and thanks for participating in my 1st link up...I sooooo appreciate it!

So ladylike chic. I swear we like several of the same silhouettes.  I agree, I noticed that I rarely wear pants. I have trouble finding pants in women's stores that fit my waist without alterations.
