It seems like the nastier the weather gets, the brighter my outfits become.  The last time I wore this skirt, it was a downright balmy 60s degrees.  This time around it’s about 30 degrees cooler and there’s a layer of gray slush on the ground.  I know I threaten to move to Florida every year around this time, but it’s starting to sound more and more attractive.

Back when over-the-knee boots were all the rage, I was intrigued but not really sure if they were practical for me.  So I scooped up a cheap-y pair at Forever 21 (for under $30, thank you very much) just to test the waters.  My instincts were correct, in that I’ve only worn them a handful of times.  I decided to give them another go yesterday, and I really like the way they work with this midi-length skirt.

I scored this vintage DVF blouse on eBay months ago, and it arrived in the mail with a nice little bonus… HUMONGOUS 80s-style shoulder pads!  You guys know how I just love looking like a linebacker…

Yeah… not so much!

Fortunately, it wasn’t anything a seam ripper and two minutes of spare time couldn’t fix.  Once my quick alterations brought my new blouse forward a decade or two, I deemed it ready for primetime and paired it with one of my favorite earrings + necklace combos.

I wore this outfit during an unseasonably warm day.  But sadly, I don’t think my bare legs will be seeing the light of day again until spring… unless I move to Florida.

Black and white is my typical fallback when I’m in a rush and feel like I have nothing to wear, but I was in a mood for something more neutral this time around.  I picked up this skirt at Forever 21 a while back, and I decided to pair it with a crisp white blouse to emulate the look and feel of a 1950s shirtwaist dress.  Now all I need are bobby socks and a pair of saddle shoes… oh and a crinoline slip!
