I wish the words for today’s post would come together as effortlessly as this outfit. But I guess a girl can’t have everything, right? I actually picked this skirt out because it screamed outfit potential {plus it’s the color of my alma mater}. As I was at the register, I was already making lots of little mental notes for all the different outfit possibilities. Funny that the two times I’ve worn this skirt neither outfit was from the potential outfit pool. Being as Type A as I am, I’m kinda surprised I rebelled against the list. I love lists! But true to my Type-A form, the rebellion didn’t last too long. I’m already onto my next list. A packing list!


I’ll be heading up to Michigan this weekend to visit Suze/participate in the blogger meet up she is organizing in Ann Arbor. I’m secretly hoping for some cool fall weather so I can breakout my newest fall purchase. If my weather wish comes true, hopefully you'll see the outfit on here next week.

Pin It!

  5. Another awesome pencil skirt.  I finally got up the nerve to try a wool one on at J.Crew over the weekend and it didn't work at all.  Do they stretch a bit over time and get more comfortable or not?

  6. I own the same skirt, and I absolutely love it.  I have to plan out my outfits, too, but I had about four different things I could wear the skirt with, and this outfit is inspiration for one more!
