Anyone else feel like this was the longest week ever? Even though it was technically a four day week, it's had this dragging feeling from the get go. I've been trying to stay motivated and keep up with my post-holiday schedule but it's nearly impossible! I decided to take this new Retrolicious skirt out for the first time, which happens to be a Christmas present from my husband. It's super versatile and perfect for the cooler weather we're finally having. Coming from someone who lives in perpetual summer, this is actually quite exciting!
Skirt- Retrolicious
Shoes- Chelsea Crew
Brooch- c/o Erstwilder
Petticoat- Malco Modes
Belt- From another dress
Lipstick- c/o Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Veronica
The Madison is a 100% cotton woven skirt and features delicate pleats, a thick waistband, hidden side pockets, and a back zippered closure. I'm usually a size small in Retrolicious but this skirt runs a little large. While I'm wearing a small, I have to belt it in order to fit my waist properly. I love the vibrant colors in this orange plaid and I think it's perfect for my winter wardrobe! The Madison also comes in a red plaid and some novelty prints, in case orange isn't your color. I have lots of different ideas on how to style this skirt, I'm hoping to do a post on it in the near future!
After a month of vet visits (I'm not even joking, 3 of my 4 dogs saw the vet last month) all my dogs are finally on the mend. There wasn't a tragedy of any kind, it just so happens that when one dog gets sick or injured, it seems like they all follow suit. While I'm happy to report that everyone is okay, I will have to update my closet Instagram to combat those vet bills. If you don't follow already, you can get your hands on my very gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories HERE. Happy shopping!

I got this skirt before Christmas and have been looking forward to styling it soon. I love the colors and totally didn't think of it as a skirt to pair with black but you're changing my mind here...
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely stunning and i love the skirt! I love that it has a wider waistbelt as well. So much easier to wear belts on.
