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!

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.
