I sniped this skirt on eBay months ago and was waiting for the perfect rainy day to wear it.  Well, I got my wish earlier this week.  In fact, it was so rainy that I had to take my outfit photos indoors. And just in case you’re wondering, I don’t typically don an umbrella indoors, but I put aside my superstitions to give you guys the full effect.

Signing off now to gather up my emergency supplies.  Haven’t you heard?  There’s a hurricane a-brewin’!

While I certainly enjoyed my previous black & white ensemble, I decided to take things in a completely different direction for the weekend.  I sniped this cheery, colorful frock on eBay this past winter, and was so excited that I finally got a chance to wear it.   I’d normally pair a dress this length with sky-high heels, but I wanted a more relaxed, bohemian vibe so I slid into a pair of suede gladiator sandals and my trusty jean jacket that I’ve had for yeeeaaaarrrsss. I’ve actually been looking for a slightly more cropped replacement for a couple of months now, but I haven’t come across one that’s tickled my fancy.

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.
