True story: I absolutely hate wearing suits to work.  They just always seem so blah, and I feel like I get lost in a sea of pinstriped commuters whenever I wear them.  I threw one on this morning (with a plain white blouse, no less) and was ready to walk out the door when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.  On the inside, my heart longed for pastels and florals.  On the outside, I looked like I was headed to a funeral… ok, maybe it wasn’t that bad. Anyway, I came up with a happy medium and was pretty darn pleased with myself.

I picked up this amazing skirt at No Relation Vintage for just $8 a few months ago, and I  was waiting for the perfect sunny spring day to wear it.  This outfit pretty much put itself together.  Since I wanted the skirt to be the focus, I just added a plain white t-shirt (although I think it would look equally smashing with a halter top once things really start to heat up), and the outfit pretty much required me to wear a pair of sky high platforms.  I find that the right shoe is key to preventing below-knee length skirts from looking matronly.

There’s nothing like a huge dose of color to get me energized and ready for the weekend!  I purchased this dress more than 4 years ago for less than $30, and it’s still going strong.  Don’t you just love it when that happens?
