Yep, I will admit it. This is my first denim skirt since I was a little tomboy. Back then, I refused to wear skirts of any sort. This time around I was excited to find a way to work it into my fall wardrobe.
I purchased this skirt at the Old Navy outlet several weeks ago just before I got sick. Since then there didn't seem to be the right time to wear it. Today, I WORE IT!
Note to self. Denim and tights... need a slip. The front of the skirt kept bunching up.
These shoes! I thrifted these shoes at Goodwill this summer with my one of my favorite shopping partners, Jess! I had to fight the 6 foot tall amazon girl for them but since she got my dress, I got the shoes!
We thought these would be Jess's wedding shoes but at 9.5 they were too big for her. I thought they would be too small and they are a bit on the tight side but with tights they actually slipped off. I swear I am missing a hook or a curve on the back of my foot that keeps heels on!
This outfit was layers built to keep me warm and business like. And it mostly did it's job. I am proud of myself for wearing more of the items in my closet and pushing myself more in my wardrobe. I just need to remember to dress for the position I want not the position I have and to dress old enough to be taken seriously. Sometimes I have a hard time being taken seriously because I like to be silly and people think that is me all the time. Grrrr!!!! I don't want to be boring and serious!
If only my hair would grow up and be fun and professional like me.

Love the necklace! I was having the same problem with my skirts once tights season rolled around but I finally got a slip and it definitely does the trick!
ReplyDeleteI like that whole look: the chunky short-sleeved sweater, the fringe hanging off the skirt, the tights...nice!
ReplyDeleteSlips are saving my dupa this fall.
This is a great outfit! The whole thing is so flattering and stylish. Nice find with those shoes!
ReplyDeletei like the lightness over the darkness (gray over black!) and your necklace is great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the denim skirt :) lol You look lovely in it!
ReplyDeleteI never have that problem with my denim skirt, but maybe because I've not been able to find a straight one I like yet. I do love those shoes, what a lucky find!
ReplyDeleteThose tights are really cute with those shoes.
ReplyDeleteStyle on a String ..because style has nothing to do with money.
