On top of going for a motorcycling ride we had a nice lazy lunch in the neighborhood. It was hot, hot, hot out but there was a nice breeze. I went for something simple and tried my hand at not trying to match too much for this long weekend outfit.
Here is the results:
I bought this skirt before I started blogging and before I paid close attention to fit. As a result, this skirt is too big on me. If I pull it down to my hips the shape and length just look all wrong. Oh well, lesson learned.
Normally I would’ve paired this skirt with a solid colour, maybe cream or white since there is a pattern in the fabric. But as I mentioned I tried to be a little more creative.
Here is a close up of the top and skirt:
And a couple more shots!
Pockets!
So…did I succeed??

ooh love the skirt with the belt. To answer your question I used a burlap type fabric so that the ends would kind of stick out.
Skirts with pockets = love! The skirts is nice and swingy, so I really like how you paired it with a slim-fit top. Also, thanks for the heads up on the giveaway, a girl can’t have too much makeup…
i like the color of the skirt and the blouse combo. cute colors together!
i don’t think that has happened to me, but i don’t buy too many skirts either!
Pretty outfit! The details are a nice touch, and the belt pulls everything together.
Pretty top! And I have a couple skirts that sat too low on the hips which made them too long. I brought them to the tailor and instead of a hem, she ran a wide elastic through the waist for $10 and now they sit perfect! Sort of like a self-belt I suppose?
