i had a co-worker tell me that i looked like a princess in my outfit. i laughed in response because i don't think i thought "princess" as i got dressed but, hey, i can roll with it! :) that is how i was dubbed "purple princess". it might have been this long, flow-y skirt that got her feeling a royal vibe (not to mention the royal color), but i was inspired by comfort, as usual, and this outfit did the trick! don't be fooled by the maxi skirt or the tulle bow, this princess has edge! under my trusty Northface is my leather motorcycle jacket that i added for this exact reason - for edge as well as office warmth. i completed the look with a Wheels & Dollbaby tank, my bamboo hoops and studded cuff (not shown) and this princess was ready to go! :)
btw -if you remember, i believe it's absolutely mandatory that every skirt and dress get the twirl test (refresh on the twirl test here). i also had fun doing the can-can ( my boots and skirt made me feel straight out of the saloon lol). though i've had this skirt for ages (it's a vintage find from long ago), i'm not sure if i was aware that it had such great spinnage (i think i've coined a new word lol)! actually, i've had it for so long that it's more likely that i forgot just how well it passed the test!
