Printed Full Skirt

My star of the show today is this printed full skirt.  I used to be all about the full skirt which seems to work well for hip-happenin' girls.  Like every other skirt I owned had a full flair and covered my knees.  Very old-school modest I think.  But they didn't a ton for my silhouette which at my age I've just become actually more aware and definitely more accepting of. So, out went all the full skirts. Except this one; this lovely one which is from Target of all places.  I have my hinged chain cuff and gothic black ring and a dangley long necklace for accessories.  And my hair in this dry almost-spring but winterish today instead is just not cooperating. I think it's time for a drastic cut.  Also, on the almost-spring front, my lovely tall and slim 3-sprout office plant had a casualty. See that little stump?  Now it's down to a 2-sprouter and I'm trying to keep it alive.

Military Jacket-esque

I'm sporting a striped sleeveless dress with Pockets; these are all important details.  But my favorite new detail is my military jacket-esque cropped top I've layered over the cute dress.  It's a Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl's from ages ago, that has been chillin' in my closet just waiting for a moment to shine. His pieces (runway and dept. store) seem to always have a structure a chicness to them. Some days I'm so bored of cardigans and this baby had just enough of a different shape than I'm used to that convinced me to go for it.  I was also wavering on no tights, but chickened out because: Midwest weather is nuts. I have a window propped open, but the cooler breeze is a bit harsher than I originally planned for. I thrifted another off the rack beaded necklace for only $1 #FTW, and matches my new assortment of bangles from a make-up swap.
