Thank you for all your comments and suggestions! It seemed like there were two sides: (1) if you didn't like or feel good about your outfit, you didn't post it or (2) you posted it anyway as a learning experience. For me, I don't post it if I don't feel good about it when first putting the outfit on. A few of you have mentioned figuring out what is wrong with it first and then fixing it the next time you wear a similar outfit, which I think is a great idea.
The outfit from my last post made me feel frumpy and disheveled by the end of the day instead of feeling put together like I did in the morning. I felt great in my outfit from today but the picture didn't quite document that and that's okay. (I wish I had fixed my shirt first.)
Wearing Tulle coat ($44), J.Crew top (gift from my mom), Shade Clothing skirt ($10), F21 tights ($7), and Ros Hommerson oxfords ($25).

This is a great outfit!! That skirt is awesome! And it's totally not bad for you to wear it again tomorrow... haha. Rock it out! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this skirt! I've had a lot of fun with it, too. http://bit.ly/8iDepv

Well, the skirt looks wonderful and you'll be with different people tomorrow, so I don't think it would be weird!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about that bee ruining your fun on the swings! That was such bad luck to swing into a bee as it was flying. I've had that kind of luck too! I hope you haven't been stung very often since then. Have a great week! =)
what a sweet skirt!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I love your ruffled shirt and cute little oxfords.
ReplyDeleteI rarely post the learning experience but happened to this week! Love the tights and florals together!
ReplyDeletei really think i'm in love with your outfit and style. so gorgeous! the skirt and the pink top go perfectly well. love!
ReplyDeletequite possibly one of my FAVORITE outfits of yours! it looks so great, and did you cut more bangs or am I dumb? your hair looks awesome too. I always struggle with my hair in pictures so I'm always envious of those who have perfect hair :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful skirt! i totally support wearing things multiple days in a row.

Fab skirt! If I could wear floral something everyday, I would!
ReplyDeletei love this so much i am buying that skirt tonight (in black and gray).
ReplyDeleteLOVELY!
I think we might live in the same neighborhood! Have recently found your blog and love a fashion blogger in my own town! I'm a PhD student at the U and I love your on campus fashion photos!
ReplyDeletelove you skirt, i had my eye on it around christmas but i totally forgot about it! it looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteYou are the artist and stylist of your life. If you want to wear that skirt every day, it's OK. You are in charge of you!
ReplyDeleteWe're just along for the ride!
I love love LOVE this outfit. I'm slightly obsessed with pink and grey together and that floral skirt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeletepretty skirt! i would wear floral every other day if i could hehe

I think this outfit and the one you were previously questioning are cute - I'm a sucker for patterned tights and scarves. I like how the patterned tights you're wearing today add a modern look to the floral skirt without clashing against it.
ReplyDeleteOn the whole, as long as I have time to photograph my outfit, I post it even if I'm not crazy about it. I'm (obviously) not a high fashion role model - I'm just trying to figure out what works & doesn't work on my body, and the failures or simply not-so-great outfits are part of that too.
Plus, if I know I'm going to be uploading a picture of what I wear, it's additional accountability to make sure I feel polished before I head out the door.
I totally am in love with your entire look. You look chic, modern, pretty and casual all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally one of those folks who don't post my major fashion fails (heck, I've deleted whole posts are making them live when I regret an outfit choice) - but think it's important to be able to grow and learn from former fashion mishaps.
I love this outfit -- it's so cheerful! And I think it would be cute if you wore the skirt again soon -- it's pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have to say again how much I love your new header. You look like you're looking down at all your posts! :)

you're shoes are so gorgeous and i adore that skirt! the length is perfect as well as the floral print. it's definitely not weird to wear a skirt THIS gorgeous twice in a row. i probably would too :P
ReplyDeleteI like your skirt! I must say this outfit looks much lighter and fun, where your other one looked a little dreary. :) Looking good!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The ruffle top is such a lovely colour!
ReplyDeleteI really like the mix of colors. The gray, pink, and floral make me think of spring!
ReplyDeleteI'd say wear it again! :)

This outfit is so beautiful and girly, so you!! I love the color of your top and the ruffles, I can't get enough. And the skirt is adorable paired with tights and booties.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the new header is gorgeous!
I really like the feminine vibe of this outfit ;) the colors work so well together, I love that you picked the pink hue and didn't do what most people would and pair it with either a neutral or the dominant color in the skirt.
ReplyDeletegreat skirt
