I got this leather pencil skirt a couple months ago during one of Ann Taylor’s many extra zillion percent off super flash self-destruct-in-5-minutes sales. (They’re probably having one right now.) I finally had a chance to wear it this week. Once again, this semester’s internship gives me an excuse to wear some things that are too dressy for class.

I was inspired by a post on M Loves M this week to wear leopard print with this skirt. I was worried it might be – in Tim Gunn’s words – “a lotta look,” but I think this cream blazer kinda tempers it. For a conservative office environment, I try to stick with one statement at a time and then disguise it. Pretty tricksy, huh?

Have a good weekend, everyone!

As you may recall, the last time I wore this fun leather number was to an 80s cabaret. What’s the only occasion that would be even more perfect for a leather mini? We’re all thinking it. Let’s just say it together:

Flashdance the Musical.

The show is on tour, and right now it’s in Indianapolis. Don’t have to ask me twice. Dance movies: good. Musicals: good. Musicals based on a dance movies: Double good. I’ve been dancing my whole life, so I’m super critical, and I was really really impressed. The lead was amazingly talented, and the choreography was really cool. Sure, the show’s a little cheesy, but what do you expect? The point is: you should see it. Check here to see if it’s coming to your area.

I really had to control myself around the merch counter though…There was a cutoff sweatshirt with the Flashdance logo! That’s something that’s been missing from my wardrobe for a long time. But it was $50. And some people have told me I already have a lot of clothes. Say whaaat? If I have so many clothes, why am I wearing the same skirt to TWO 80-related events in a row?!
