Thanks to Tara's pointers and my own realization of "Hey, some of my dresses have full skirts. Why don't I just style the skirts as if they were dresses?" I finally got to pull an old - but too oft shunned - favorite out of my (ridiculously overdue for a cleaning) closet: my Theory wrap skirt.
BEHOLD:
mystery ruffle shell, ann taylor loft'bling-button' cardigan, j.crew [x]
wrap skirt, theory (circa 2007)
'pindot' tights by eloise, anthropologie [x]
wide buckle belt, calvin klein
'allie' flats, bcbg
'pave heart' ring, coach [x]
I actually wore this outfit last weekend, but you get the drift. I'm working from home today because I'm feeling sneezy, cough-y, and all around infectious, so no one would want to see my real OOTD (pajamas) anyways. Ah-choo!
Unfortunately, this last minute decision to unearth the wrap skirt also meant that it was covered with wrinkles. Wrinkles that did not get ironed before I stepped out the door. HORRORS. I hate ironing things, but most of the time I get over this irrational hatred and do it anyway. But sometimes I just can't be bothered. And this was one of those days, especially since I had finally decided to wear this skirt 10 minutes after I was supposed to have left the house. Nice.
