The last time you guys saw this skirt, the grass was a little greener, and my shoes were neon - click here if you'd like a refresher. I'm sure this isn't the last time you will see it either - I'll need to do a winter outfit with it, too! Today's outfit doesn't really have one focal point like those neon heels were; I decided to just level the playing field and pull from the mint lining of the skirt. Initially, I planned to wear my suede oxfords with this, because I love the way oxfords look with bare legs.
Some of my inspiration:
Cute in theory, right? I was excited about my Polyvore and everything, but this morning, when it came time to turn my Pinspiration into reality, it was awful.
I do pride myself in saying that all the outfits you see on my blog are actual outfits I wear in real life. I've said it a couple of times already that I always feel lucky that I can truly wear whatever I want to work. That being said, knowing that I will be posting outfits for you guys does definitely influence my decision making process to a certain degree - I'd be lying if I said it didn't at all. Sometimes I will take risks, especially because of this blog, but I gotta cross the line somewhere.
The shoes were hideous with the outfit and I took them off even faster than I put them on. It actually only took one shoe on one foot, and a quick glance in the mirror to realize this was terrible. One day I'll try it with a fuller, flouncier skirt, but today, I went ahead and just reached for my trusty Kate Spade mint pumps and pretended the idea of the oxfords never came into existence.
Such a cute look, Carylee!

Love this!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen!
Deletehaha, sometimes the way an outfit looks in my head is much better than the way it looks in real life! But hey, experimenting is worth it, and if you don't like the way your outfit looks, you can always change things up based on your original idea, like you did!

These heels are always the cherry on the top of any outfit I wear! Thank you!
DeleteI totally know what you mean about something looking good in theory but not quite working out when you put it on. It's hard to pull of flats with a pencil skirt! It looks stunning with the heels though! This skirt is gorgeous and you look beautiful in this outfit!

Yes, I actually blogged before about how wearing flats with a skirt is hard, so I don't know why I thought this would work on the first try! It's all good though, glad I had my trusty backup shoes! Thank you for the comment!
DeleteYou busted out the Spades! Love it!
