Usually when I buy something new I immediately start imagining all the ways I’m going to wear it (it’s easier to justify the purchase that way). Then sometimes I have to admit that what I pictured in my head doesn’t quite work.
With this shirt, I pictured it tucked into some of my shorter skirts, but when I tried it out the other day it looked lumpy. Lumpy mashed potatoes? Delicious. Lumpy hips? Yucky. Mmmm…mashed potatoes sound good right now. Anywho.
I untucked the shirt, and that looked frumpy, which rhymes with lumpy and therefore is no good either. Finally I settled on this long skirt and belt and I felt rather tall and statuesque. That’s extra impressive when you’re 5’3″.
Happy Friday, and may your weekend be filled with laughter, friends, and mashed potatoes.

Absolutely LOVE this skirt and how you paired it with the shoes for a mix of patterns! Perfect outfit!
Thanks Emily! The shoes were a very random addition but I liked them.
beautiful skirt! really suits you 🙂 http://www.alysheasurani.com
Nothin’ wrong with the untuck. I actually kind of hate tucking things in, but it’s a necessary evil sometimes, I guess. Untuck works well for this look.
What a cute outfit – I like that the shirt is untucked. Sometimes it just looks better, don’t you think?

Ok, I know this sounds crazy… but I put on my shirt, put a slip over it and then the skirt on top of it all. Solves that mash potatoes look 😉 But I love the way you styled this look too… made you get creative didn’t it!

Love the side slit. It adds a bit of sexy to your look!
The prints on the skirt are heavenly!! I loved the pale pink outfit the best of them all..very pretty.

Wait, you’re 5’3″?!?!?! Your wife does a great job at pictures then because I would have guessed you’re around 5’5″ or 5’6″ if it were a Final Jeopardy question!
