spring fling!
Okay, it's still dark and dull outside, and yes, there may have been a brief snow squall the other day (complete white-out for about 30 minutes) but it's spring, ladies, finally! So today I've been pulling out all the wools and heavy fabrics and switching them out for my summer clothing. A plethora of all-season materials just stay where they are. Oh, it has been exciting to pull out those summery dresses and skirts, and steam some of the wrinkles out of my favourites (licorice lanes skirt: hello, unworn green 50's chevron dress: HELLO, I forgot about you!). This is going to be fun. someday soon, I swear.
So a couple weeks back, LDMOMMA left a comment noting that I'd purchased the Amhara skirt and was wondering how I was going to style it. Y'know, I hadn't really thought about it- I have a long-time addiction to pouffy patterned knee-length skirts that I just wear with simple t-shirts and tanks in the summer. I didn't even intend on wearing it to work. However I started thinking about it, and it's true that the styling in the catalogue shot is dressy enough to work for a multitude of places, and the floral waistband with the stripes opens up a lot of styling possibilities.
I played with a bunch of options on polyvore- I think this skirt might dress up nicely with any number of funky patterned blouses, from florals to lace to stripes (of course). I tend to prefer structured tops for my small frame, but I might be willing to try a wee bit of billowy this year...we'll see...
