I just can't get enough of this skirt & in fact, this here is a prelude to the next "Bloggers Who Budget" post. I hope you gals adore a wardrobe item that really goes the extra mile, on a regular person budget, as much as I do. It's officially my jam.

This time around, my friend Shelby encouraged me to pair said adored skirt with another primary color & to do this shirt poof over the belt trick. Seriously, isn't getting dressed more fun with friends!?

We were driving back from Portland when the sweet smell of hops filled the car. I knew that my boyfriend used hops for brewing beer (which I love), but had never seen one of these cuties in the flesh. After coercing Ty to pull. over. the. car. I jumped out & breathed in the sweetest, funkiest scent.

Fresh hops. Little pinecones of joy.

frolicking ensued. le duh.

Happy Thursday!

Midi-Winter Blues (& a giveaway)

Admission - I don't have a "seasonal" wardrobe. All of my clothes hang in my closet year-round. My 975 sq. foot apartment doesn't afford me the luxury of any storage space to pack away out of season styles, so my tank tops & down coats live together in harmony 365 days a year.

{ What I Wore: UO plaid top // Oasap midi skirt // J.Crew belt }

{ Get the Look }

plaid shirt {$19.90} + pleated midi skirt {$35.00, exact one} + brown belt {$4.80} + riding boots {$39.80}

For me this is a good thing, because it makes me be more intentional about my purchases to make sure they fit into my "year-round" wardrobe style (**granted, I live in the South, & Winters here are typically mild, so mate it is easier for me). 

Tank tops have to be layerable & skirts have to be flexible enough for humid Summer days & chilly Winter nights (see how I wore this skirt in the Summer here)

My best skirt outfit maximization: thick tights & knee high boots. By minimizing the amount of skin exposed, your favorite warm weather skirts will be your cold weather saviors (I know I'm not the only one little worn down by the sweater + skinny jeans Winter routine with months to go until Spring rears her dainty head)

** my favorite Winter tights are the Spanx Reversible Tights (brown on one side, black on the other... genius!)

And guess what is WAY better than Winter-time skirts?
