It’s been an idea in the back of my head for weeks and weeks to winterize this skirt, and I finally got around to it! I know a pink eyelet midi skirt seems decidedly summery, but I’m nothing if not determined. At first I tried it with a white mock turtleneck, but with black tights and boots it just didn’t look right. Like I was at some kind of Goth Easter service or something. I’ve found that when I’m wearing black tights and black shoes with a skirt/dress that’s not black, the best way to tie it all together is to add at least a little touch of black up top somewhere. It could be a shirt with black polka dots, a black necklace or scarf, or even this sweater with the tiniest bit of black piping on the collar. It lets the world know that yes, this is a real outfit and no, I do not celebrate Goth Easter.

You know how sometimes women in movies or commercials are inexplicably walking around their houses in just an oversized button-up shirt and pumps? This is my version of that “outfit.” Except I decided to do a little something different. It’s a little unorthodox…but just hear me out…

I added pants. I know. Crazy, right? I just had this gut instinct that my version would be possibly more appropriate for work and for February. And my gut tends to have very good instincts, like the instinct to dip cinnamon cereal in whipped peanut butter for a late-night snack. Which I might be doing right now. Whether I’m doing it while wearing pants will remain a mystery to you.
