You probably can't tell by some of my ensembles, but I am typically a pretty laidback person when it comes to going out. I'm not really into the whole-changing-my-outfit deal between work and play and usually will go straight from the office to drinks (or whatever) just as I'm dressed.
I got this skirt and it seemed like a fun flippy piece but I didn't want to make a hassle of changing at work for date night (like I needed to lug even more stuff to work). Plus I wasn't entirely too sure it was office-appropriate. So I did what I usually don't do, and bought some extra accessories along so I could make sure I looked office-ready and then switch it up a bit for after-hours. Shoes, bag and piling on some extra jewelry was my ticket. And it all fit into my tote, so I felt like I tried but didn't, you know?
What you ladies don't see is my winter which kept me snuggly warm. And the bare legs, while perfectly fine for the warm-ish GA day, was c-c-cold after the sun set.

Happy Valentine's Day, ladies! I hope your sweeties spoil you appropriately, regardless of whether or not you're still stuck at home in winter weather purgatory. Have a good weekend.
Your skirt may be the cutest thing ever, I love it! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that skirt so much! Now I'm sold on the flippy skirt :)
ReplyDeleteThis skirt is so cute! Happy Valentine's to you too :)
ReplyDeleteLove this skirt! And the way you styled it for work is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI saw your pic in my Bloglovin' feed, and my first thought was, "I love that skirt!" The print and silhouette are so fun. I also like how you paired it with classic stripes. Happy Valentine's Day :-)
ReplyDeleteCute! I love all of your looks, 'cuz you know you got it together, but this may be one of my all time favorites. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like two totally different outfits! I really like the striped top with your floral skirt.

Wintery purgatory would be our situation, so we're staying in and cooking! That skirt is amazing. Totally office appropriate skit. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove these little tweaks to go from day to night! And that skirt is just so fun! Hope you had a great Valentine's Day also!!

This is a great skirt! I love the mixed prints. I'm with you, I don't like to bring too many things with me from day to night either.
ReplyDeleteLove how you've styled this!

That floral skirt is beautiful! I like how you've dressed it up for the office with the blazer, it's great with and without it :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely Valentine's day :)

That skirt is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read your post, I was thinking "day to night....?" Then I remembered, oh yeah, a lot of people go out after work instead of going straight home and crashing on the couch like me! Haha.
Oh no, I go straight home most nights, change into jammies and def crash onto the couch. Nothing like walking my pup at 7pm in my jam pants!
DeleteNormally I don't care for this type of skirt but now you have me rethinking that. It looks great on you. Great switcheroo for the day to night look too.

This silhouette is a hit-or-miss sometimes. It's too easy to look too cutesy!
DeleteOMGosh, lady! Just when I told everyone I was doing a moratorium on spending because I overspent my budget this month, you come out with the cutest outfit and make me want everything on you! ARGH!!! Especially that skirt! In fact, I just bought it. Double ARGH!!! I'm half-hoping it arrives and doesn't fit so I can return it. ;p
ReplyDeleteBtw, come check out today’s post on my blog. I nominated you for an award. Please don't feel obligated to do much with it except bask in the fact that you're super cool. I really just wanted to recognize my peeps, and I am honored to consider you one of them.
I think you'll dig the skirt - especially since it's like $20 right now!
DeleteFor some reason I don't understand I can't see the photos you added to the post...I will try it later! ( but I am sure you are very cute, as ever!)
ReplyDeleteOh no, I hope that's been resolved (I am not tech-savvy person, so unfortunately I can't help at all) - but I did not do anything differently when I loaded my pics. Sorry!
DeleteI love how you changed this up! Cute skirt! Flippy and Springy!

What a beautiful skirt! I would never have thought of pairing it with pink - colour is not my strong point in general - but the pairing looks absolutely beautiful together, not to mention perfect for day or night :)
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
I love the look on the left w/the pumps. The color -- killin' it! I think I need some 2014 Pantone. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this skirt! Jaquard is so fabulous. I love how you paired it with chambray.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute skirt! And I think you dressed it really well for the office!

That skirt is fabulous. I'm obsessed with it. Love it paired with the pink handbag.

I love this skirt, and how you paired it with a button down shirt!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and cleverly done. A pair of tights (or hold-ups) would not have made much difference in weight. You just didn't think about bringing them along too, did you haha?
