Daily Outfit - Kate - 3/18/10

My love for today's outfit TOTALLY makes up for the mediocrity of the rest of this week.

Because dudes? <3. <3 HARD.



That skirt is one I picked up on my Sarasota thrifting adventure, and I love it so much. It's the longest and fullest skirt I own and all day I had so much fun - I felt so feminine and twirly and happy and WHEE! I wish I could feel like this all day every day :-)

The skirt is right between teal and blue, and I happen to love how that color looks with red so I paired it with a super old red long-sleeved tee (I kept the sleeves folded up all day so it's really 3/4 sleeve but whatever) and my favorite sad old cream-colored cardigan. And textured tights 'cause I can.

I also like how even though I'm only 5'2", the little bit of heel in my maryjanes and the proportions caused by the skirt's length and top's relative shortness combine to make me look tall(er) and thin(ner). Like magic!

So you know what I've gotta do when I'm wearing a twirly skirt, right?



It's practically the law.



Have I mentioned I love this skirt?
