I swear I just need to share closets with Rachelle because this is another purchase inspired by something I saw on her. This time it was her skirt worn here. I wasn't sure which color I wanted - I was debating between black and grey. I leaned more towards black only because I feel like I have lots of grey in my closet already and not enough black. I know, life choices are SO HARD, right? So hard that I was texting Gina trying to make my decision and she told me I wasn't allowed to buy it in either color unless I went to my closet room and sent her a pic of 2 things I would wear with at least one color. (Seriously, she made me do this. And of course, I obliged.)
I was thinking a graphic tee, a sweatshirt (with tights and boots in the winter), and one of my portofinos (probably worn knotted.) Based on these selections, I decided to go with the black.
I should have saved this outfit for last this week because it's my favorite. What's not to like? Stripes - good! Drapey skirt - good! Peep toe booties - goooooood! (Yes, that's a Friends reference.) I feel like this outfit is the epitome of my style - nothing over the top, simply a handful of classics with a twist, and a pop of color and funk. And the fact that everything is ridiculously comfortable, down to these cork heels, is just a cherry on the top!

Even tho it's not fully fall here, adding booties to skirts makes me feel like it is! Thanks for showing me this skirt! Absolutely so comfy and easy but beautiful!
DeleteI have wanted this skirt since seeing it on Rachelle. I like both colors. It looks comfy too. You have such an extensive closet that I'm sure you could come up with 10+ outfit possibilities for both.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, you are probably definitely right about that! I def lack in the skirt collection most of all though!
DeleteWell, it's not like I made you three custom polyvore outfits or anything but I'm glad I could help you decide. :) And I love this outfit. And I am starting to think of ways I could wear this skirt myself. Aaaahhhhh!!! I might be slipping to the dark side!!

It really is a great skirt! I feel like it's up there for me with the boucle mini. And seriously. Soooo comfy.
DeleteLove the look! Everything looks incredibly comfy, even down to the shoes! :-) That's a skirt you will get a ton of use out of...good choice on the black!

Yes! It will be the next best thing to leggings come winter- tights and booties/boots plus anything will equal an outfit! I love it!! Thank you!!
DeleteLove this look! So chic and sexy! I want that skirt.

You need the skirt! It's so perfect!
DeleteI love this whole outfit. The simple necklace against the stripe top, and the detail of your skirt. Lovely pairing all around :). I was looking at the stripe shirt at express, but they ran out of my size (getting teary eye now) so I had to leave it behind :(.
ReplyDeleteKreyola Jounerys
Booooo!!!!! I hope you cross paths with it one day! At least get the skirt in the meantime! :)
DeleteReally love that skirt!! It's a great basic but the wrap detail makes it so fun too. You look so pretty in this outfit.

That's my plan for sure!!
DeleteSuper cute look! I love the drapey skirt and the detail on that top. What an awesome friend to make you find stuff you can wear something with before buying! I need someone like that, I have WAY too many things in my closet that I never wear, because I don't have anything to put them with.

I do really try to buy things that I know I can pair with several pieces! The impulse purchases are the worst! I know I ail wear the heck out of this skirt though!
DeleteFirst of all, your Friends reference is AWESOME. I love fellow Friends fanatics!! "First a layer of lady fingers, then a layer of cream, then beef sauteed with peasand onions, then another layer of lady fingers..." Anyway.. This outfit is so cute. And I love that you had to take picture for what you would wear it with if you bought it. Perhaps I should practice that for self restraint...
