Skirting Around


I have owned this skirt for years.  It's one of those pieces that goes with just about everything, is flattering & a perfect way to stay cool while still looking pulled-together & feminine.  I love how the fullness is balanced by the high, fitted waistline ~ and the pockets only increase the comfortability. 

{These photos were shot at a historical building in the town where we live.  It was actually the first high school in the village & was built in 1911.}




What I'm wearing:
Dorothy Perkins top, Zara skirt, Merona belt, BCBG sandals, Vintage necklace, Bracelets: Banana Republic & Forever 21

Looks really pretty, love that orange top, is it new season DP? x

Thanks Sarah - actually, it is from last season, but they have some new scalloped options here: http://tinyurl.com/4xru835

There is something very comforting about bringing out that favourite and much loved item, again and again, of wearing. I think this skirt is one of those items that will never "go out of fashion" but simply because you love to wear it. This is a very pretty look indeed :)

I'm in love with the scallop detail on the sleeve of this top and its such a pretty color. Great look!

Love the scalloped sleeves on the top!

The skirt is pretty, I like the waist. What type of fabric is it?

love that top!

Tracy, the skirt is a linen blend (which is why it wrinkles so easily) and has a chambray look to it.

Kimberly, you look great and I love your blog. Bravo! I am excited to check back often and maybe even try to revitalize my own homemaker style! :)

this outfit is just fabulous - love the scalloped sleeves and the peach with the chambray-look skirt and the accessories!! looking so chic!
