Daily Wear: Another New Skirt


Today is the last day of nice weather as per our local weathermen.
Tomorrow is RAIN, RAIN for 4 DAYS STRAIGHT! Yuckie

Therefore, I jumped at the chance to incorporate a few more new spring items into the Daily Wear mix before the nasty weather comes this way.

One new item I'm fond of is yesterday's skirt purchase:
An Alberto Makali Spring 2010 skirt at that!
(My first purchase this year from work--not much I had my eye on to tell you the truth, just this skirt.
Maybe when Fall rolls around I'll find more to use my clothing credit on.)

-If it's not clear, the skirt fits like a paper bag skirt.
(Is that the name for this silhouette? I should probably know this.)

-It's made out of this wonderful stretchy luxe shimmery fabric.

-Being that it's a black and white plaid, it lends itself quite well to adding a pop of color.
(hence the new yellow blouse I paired with it)

I've got big plans for this skirt:

-To work as I styled it today

-Casual weekends w/tucked in vintage concert tee

-maybe even my strappy FLAT sandals and no tights come this summer
(yes, I said FLAT--Me in flats? On occasion, if you look fast, you'll catch me in them)

I think it was a purchase well made!

Wearing:
*Black blazer-Zara
*Yellow blouse-Target
*Silver skirt-Alberto Makali
*Black tights-HUE
*Black boots-Jessica Simpson
*Silver vintage owl necklace-Thrift Store

PS- R.I.P my 3rd grade crush!

All the BOP and BigBopper mags I spent my money on were well worth it just to see your dreamy face alongside your best friend of the same name.
And even though you turned into a total douche of a man in your recent years, I'll stick to remembering only your teenage hotness of the late '80s , way back when.

Excuse me, I have to go add "Liscence to Drive" and "Dream a Little Dream" to my Netflix.
I miss you Corey Haim!

Fab outfit. I especially love your vintage owl necklace. So pretty and perfect against the yellow shirt.

And yes, so sad about Corey Haim...sigh. Mostly sad because it's not surprising. :(

You look awesome! The skirt is really fabulous. Oh and Corey Haim's death was so sad to me. He had a lot of promise when he was child. Too much access to drugs makes it difficult to quit, I guess.
