In other news, I thrifted this skirt on Good Friday. I was pleased to find that the self belt (featuring an adorable bow!) still accompanied the garment. Adorable bow belts aside, I wasn’t sure if I was going to purchase it until I discovered the skirt also had pockets…still sewn shut from the factory! The skirt might be second-hand, but these pockets are virgin. (And have I mentioned that the bow at the waist is a-dor-able?)
*I’ve received no end of youtube comments claiming my description of this bun as “messy” is deceptive. I suppose “messy” is a relative term. To a neat freak accustomed to ballet-tight buns, this is sloppy. To a teen in the habit of wearing pajama pants and flip flops out to dinner, it’s probably uptight.
This skirt is fantastic and I love that you paired it with the darker blouse rather than a more seasonal lighter color...it looks wonderful! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is very pretty. I'm a sucker for floral prints. It looks like it will work well year round. What a great find.
ReplyDeleteHowever you describe it, that bun is cute. It's so nice to have the option of wearing your hair up.
Great skirt!
ReplyDeleteLike it paired up with the dark green vs. bright springy go-to's!
I also LOVE a fresh pocket ;)

Your makeup is so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the pinks of the skirt and earrings and great how the olive shirt toughens the look up. What are your cats looking at?
ReplyDeleteCJ - wow, I think that's the first makeup compliment I've ever gotten! I'm a cosmetics dunce, but I'm trying to improve!

You look great with ur hair up like that. I, too, am growing mine out and can just now get all my layers up like that. Can you next time take a back pic to show the full effect?
ReplyDeleteAlso, LOVE ur lipstick shade! What is it???
Anon - I'll take a shot from the back next time. I'm wearing Revlon Moon Drops lipstick in Hot Coral, with gold Benefit gloss on top.
ReplyDeletedamn, that skirt is fantastic! the vibrance of the pink is genius with the olive green top. virgin pockets, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI was all set to chime in and say that skirt was beautiful, but it looks like that's nearly all you're getting today. But I'll say it anyway. :) Lovely! There can never be enough floral prints in the world, I think.
ReplyDeleteWait a hot minute - did I miss something? Youtube comments??
ReplyDeleteKim - I have a "messy bun" tutorial on YouTube. It wasn't well received. :(
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you second guessed this skirt... Chic!
