It has been a warm couple of days in the Bay Area (Hello Indian summer and WELCOME) so I decided to break out a new skirt that I have had for a few weeks but I have yet to wear. I got this skit on sale at Boden and while I really like the shape and color, its only borderline work appropriate. I actually often feel this way about things I wear to work, so I am constantly trying to balance my colorful, playful, and whimsical pieces with more traditional pieces to hit the right tone. Today to balance out the skirts vibrant color and patter I paired it with a simple black bow tee (sadly you can't see the bow) and nude flats. The skirt is on the shorter side, so the flats were a must. Also I like how then I didn't have to try to match or coordinate with the skirt. Overall I liked my outfit today and look forward to playing around with this skirt more in the future!
