This is not what I wore today. I wore this skirt instead but I was uncomfortable all throughout the day. It is because it is shorter than the last time I wore it. It must have shrunk in the dryer...or maybe because I am an inch taller now...which I am. So this skirt is what I wish I had picked out this morning instead.
Wearing secondhand two-tone choker necklace ($5), faux pearl necklace ($5), secondhand pink Zara shirt (from Meg), thrifted Anne Klein belt ($1), Shade Clothing skirt ($10), and Ros Hommerson oxfords ($25).

Love that choker necklace! Looks fabulous with that open collar.

I love this look! It's like a mix of preppy with jungle safari chic (or maybe I'm just saying the latter because of the appropriate background). I wish I can get a better look at those oxfords, though!

I love this outfit anyways -- the skirt really is beautiful.
I've been enjoying your trip updates...my mom and sis just got back from Manila, so it's been cool to see photos of the area.
Love the strips with the pattern of the skirt! Great post!!

Cute outfit! You look great in it! I can totaly relate to growing too tall for some skirts. :)
The Shade Clothing skirt has the prettiest vibrant yellow in the print. Totally gorgeous!
Love your outfit, great combination!
Beautiful outfit!

Ah, I hate it when the shrinkage happens :(
On the plus side, I absolutely love this look. So classic, but you manage to make it look modern, too.
CUTE
you grew an inch, really? haha i can't tell if it's a joke :) my friends feet grew when she was 26 which is random :) :)
I love this skirt!

I've seen too many unsuccessful attempts at mixing patterns this season, but you totally mastered it! I love the preppy stripes with that skirt and the shoes are perfect!

What a great skirt! So pretty!

I love how chic this look is! That floral skirt and striped blouse is lovely together!
lovely, preppy chic.
I love that you didn't post what you really wore... That's what I would do, if I were to actually remember to post pictures every day. Which I don't because that would require me to, well, remember something every day...
And those guys.. Are they YOUR brothers or just random brothers? Because if they're random then I'll say "cute legs! Turn around! Whoot whoot!" But if they're YOUR brothers and that would be gross, then I'll say to ignore the beginning of this sentence.
I wish I was still growing! Love the print of the skirt.

what's your address? we should be pen pals?? hahaha love this combo.
It's your world ;)
The stripes and flowers look very fresh and natural together. I have some pieces in my closet that I should try that with, even if I fail miserably.
Cute outfit!
aww what an lovely outfit.. love the skirt and that necklace. you look great!
I liked how you took a photo of Caucasian brothers in the Philippines! Lol. I like your shoes and necklace especially!
This is pattern mixing perfection!
I love this skirt! I think it looks great in this outfit even though you didn't really wear it, but hey :P
I love your pink shirt!
Maybe you could add another layer to the other skirt that was too short? Maybe with purple or white fabric? I think it would look cute with a solid bottom layer. :)
i love the skirt!!
I agree with Ava. Except I think lace would go better with the pattern. And I really like how you wrapped the pearls around the choker! So creative and fresh!
Looking lovely, Elaine! I miss your face. Maybe I'll have to come see you sometime soon!
I need to learn how to be classy like you. Your outfits are full of class!
oh oh, love the skirt!
i love the skirt! the print is so pretty! xxjess
Love the printed skirt and the choker.
Well, you look lovely!!! I adore this outfit with those shoes! And I admit, I cheat sometimes too. But I figure so long as you wear it some of the day, right?
I love the pattern mix here. PS Intramuros was one of my favorite Manila neighborhoods!
I have this skirt! AND I love this skirt. You look too cute.
