Skirts



Borrowed from Lucy Laucht

I love skirts! Always have, even as a small child, mostly because I love to twirl but that is a totally different story. This is about the fact that I don't really have any in my wardrobe and that is because I never know what to wear them with. I have decided this is a problem I have to fix. After looking at many, many blogs and other blogger wearing skirts with ease I realized it can be that hard and I will be a skirt wearer again.


What I Wore

Step 1: Enlist the help of a friend, or style expert. My friend Jen and I went to Fashion School together and she is a full time skirt wearing, plus she is a professional wardrobe consultant. I have enlisted her to come to my place after I return from Mexico to help me look at the skirts I already have and make some outfits with shirts I already have. If you  are interested in her services, you can check her out at Your Everyday Stylist.

Step 2: Admit to myself that most of the problem is bigger than just skirts. Having just hit a milestone birthday I have notice a shift in my style. Not a huge one but just enough that a lot of the things I own I realize are not me and I will probably never wear again. I was packing for my trip away with my man and had tossed in a white denim skirt and a blue denim one and realized I don't even like them, so out they came and I now know I need a more swingy style of skirt. This has also happen with some shirts and dresses too. Oh no!

Step 3: Shop wisely! Think past the skirt when purchasing, do I have a shirt it will go with, how will I wear it, do I love it or am I just buying it to have a skirt. Question like this will stop me from making purchases I will regret or never wear. Also I might bring Jen along with me....

Step 4: Just wear one! Seems simple right? Ok well here goes nothing.........

LRD

I know that I have been saying that this is the year to fill in the "holes" in my closet but with Valentine's Day just around the corner and the prospect of a new love interest, my mind has turn to all things red. Yes, I am addicted to red. It is my favourite colour, I'm wearing it right now as I write this post. I wear Russian Red lipstick by MAC at least twice a week.

I just bought the most fabulous red shoes from Aldo. They scream pinup girl all the way. I can wait to wear them. But to where? And with what?

I have always want is a little red dress. Now I want one for Valentine's Day. And I think my friend Jen may have found me the perfect one.

I would wear this dress all the time. I love the longer sleeves and the cute doll waist line. It would totally flattering on my body type and I could wear it day or night, depending on how I styled it. It is from Zara, made of Viscose and Wool and only $115 bucks. Not bad at all for a dress I know I would wear at least once a week. Now I just have to go in and try it on.

Then after that it'll be back to filling those "holes". Right?

Hearts Desire

I am craving looking like a rockstar everyday this fall! I just want to be the most fabulous fashion diva on the bus on my way to work, rocking out to the tunes on my ipod! I can't wait, now I just have to get the pieces to make this happen. Here are two ideas I have.

Ashlee Simpson on Dancing with the Stars

Don't worry this is not a post about Ashlee Simpson, her engagement and supposed pregnancy. This is also not a post about Dancing with the Stars, which I have never watched till this season and now really enjoy. This is about the dress Ashlee wore when performing on the show last night. I LOVE IT! I want it so bad, it is so cute, and sexy and fun!

One problem I can not find out who it is by or any information on the dress. Please help! If anyone know or knows where I should look please let me know!
