Crazy Wedsnesday Can End in Greatness






Hello everyone!

Today is a busy day for me, and by busy I mean I am sitting for long stretches of time. What better way to sit in comfort and style than a Good Will/Vintage Sarong made into a skirt.

As a tiny lady I try to make a lot of different clothes work for me, despite the shortness so this skirt, albiet WAY too long as a skirt works very well wrapped and belted as a dress. It is made into a halter dress and belted with an Urban Outfitters belt. Because the back is very exposed I used a blazer to workify the ensemble and cover myself up.

As for accessories and shoes I stayed bare up top - no necklaces or earrings. Instead I chose a HUGE plastic ring from H&M and tons of bangles that were all gifts from different friends. The shoes are borrowed wedges, that I love!!!!

Tip of the Day: Wear that skirt as a dress, but make sure it is long enough.

Outfit:
Dress/Skirt: The Good Will ($5)
Belt: Urban Outfitters ($10)
Shoes: Borrowed ($0)
Blazer: H&M ($20)
Bracelets: Gifts ($0)
Ring: H&M ($4.99 for 3)

Split Opinion Thursday!













































Today to spruce up my brown and black wrap dress I threw on my trusty purple cardigan. The interesting thing is it got a variety of responses from people on my floor at work. One person said that she wasn't feeling the bright cardigan with the dress, and I should have paired it with a black cardigan. Two other people said they really liked the contrast of the muted colors of the dress and brightness of the cardigan. I chose the cardigan because I wanted to add a splash of color to my outfit, but I had worn my red Marc flats yesterday and my orange cardigan the day before that. I did like how the purple and brown played off each other. I kept the shoes basic since I had pattern and color going on up top.

























Dress: H&M, gift from Miss AP
Cardigan: Halogen via Nordstrom, gift from my bro and his lady
Shoes: Jeffray Campbell via Ambience, $45



Happy almost the weekend all!
