I just grabbed this skirt and these shades from Madewell a couple days ago (and when I say “grabbed,” I don’t mean I stole them – I literally did grab at these sunglasses as soon as I walked in the door and saw them because they’re so freaking awesome). I’m pretty excited about the skirt because I’ve been wanting a black and white striped skirt for awhile, but it’s hard to find one that doesn’t make my lower half look like a bloated upside-down pear. I like this one because it doesn’t taper into the knee, and I think the way the side panels break up the lines creates an optical illusion that’s a little more slimming.

In fact, I love this skirt so much that I’m making it my Take One, Pass it On item, so you’ll see it again tomorrow! (In case you forgot already, this cardigan is my repeat from yesterday.)

Please Ignore my Face

Going through the photos of this outfit was like one big blooper reel. I don’t know what was up with my face this day, you guys. I don’t remember being grumpy, but for some reason I look like someone just ran over my puppy. Even my hair looks depressed. And these are the good photos. In the ones I didn’t use, I look like I’m contemplating a murder-suicide.

Anyway, I just wanted to clear things up and let you know that everything is A-OK, despite what you might think by glancing at my face. Hopefully you’re looking at how awesomely flattering this pencil skirt is instead. I feel like I look very Mad Men. Which I guess is appropriate since I look so mad.
