Daily Outfit - 08/26/09

dailywear

I bought this skirt at the beginning of the summer and have thought about wearing it a couple of times, but never pulled the trigger. I wasn't sure what to pair with it maybe black - seemed too harsh, maybe red - nope, thoughts of Christmas flashed in my head!, maybe blue - I didn't really have the right blue. Then yesterday SheFinds (@shefinds) tweeted about Anna Wintour's style and I saw a picture of Anna wearing a simple white shirt with floral skirt. Coincidentally, today's Inspiration Calendar called for a Bold Skirt with a White Blouse - that sealed the deal aka this outfit!

That skirt is gorgeous. (I can't believe it's from K-Mart.)The white shirt is perfect with it. It doesn't detract at all like another color might!!

I love the white blouse with the skirt. And, as always, you have accessorized to perfection with the belt and necklace.

That skirt is very pretty! It looks like a water color painting or something. I think the white shirt is perfect with it.

I love that skirt! I'm not even a big skirt person, or a big floral person. But something about that skirt is wonderful.
