Blouse, borrowed. Skirt, USMC service uniform (embellished with lace trim). Bag Vieta. Shoes, BCBGeneration. Earrings, Epcot Mexico. Tassel, Epcot Morocco. Arrowhead pendants, thrifted. Sunglasses, Xhilaration.
I also came home to many, many unread posts in my Google Reader. Among the news I missed: today was Everybody Everywear Do It Yourself day. I was happy to realize that I had serendipitously worn something I “did myself.” This olive skirt was once a part of my USMC service uniform. I added some lace trim at the waist and hem and pressed it into civilian service.

I really dig the skirt and how you made it work for your everyday wardrobe, and it looks great with that blouse.

Love this whole look!
I didn't realize you were in the military. Was it difficult for you to dress the same as everyone else during your service? I can't imagine you in a uniform looking so similar to your comrades!
That blouse is INCREDIBLE! I love that you re-purposed your military skirt for civilian life. That's both thrifty and awesome.
I wish Fall would fall on California. :)

Gorgeous mixing of red and olive! I love seeing that skirt every time you wear it.
I am in love with this outfit!
Hard to believe that skirt was ever part of a uniform! It looks fantastic with the lace detailing. Really, really chic.
