Daily Outfit: The Vintage Wrap Skirt

Everyone has at least one wardrobe piece that you've never worn, yet for some reason you can't let it go. You struggle with putting together an outfit that makes use of it, and end up pushing it to the back of your closet. Maybe you hold on to hope because it was such a good sale price, or it has sentimental value, or it was an on-trend impulse purchase that cost you a pretty penny. 

This vintage wrap skirt falls under the sentimental value category...it was once my grandmother's. I loved the pattern but wasn't sure about the fit and the style of it. So this simple little number kept getting taken out...and put back. I almost listed it in eBay a few times before talking myself out of it. Finally, I took the time to play around with a few different options that I already owned and poof- it was meant to be. The skirt needed a thick belt to define the waist and complement the colors within the print. Wooden wedges added to the ethnic vintage vibe of the skirt, and the most difficult choice was the most basic option- a fitted tank that offset the fullness of the skirt. My casual afternoon of leisure had me grabbing a denim jacket and hitting the road, looking laid-back and boho-chic!

Daily Outfit: Pearls and Clouds

though usually i live on the edge of sweet and punk, this outfit is pure sweet.  from the colors down to the accessories, i kept this look simple.  the thing i love best about this outfit is that it is a mix of old and new old.   what do i mean by new old? well, my tunic dress was a sweet (pun intended) find at a thrift store so though it's new to me, it is a thrifted item so... technically it's old.  my footless tights have also been around forever too; they were the perfect addition so that i could have subtle coverage and not worry about exposure from my mini-dress.  i finished off the look with my wedges and pearls.  i rarely want to wear pearls but they just seemed right.   i definitely didn't have to miss the edge because the rough surroundings for our photo shoot made a great contrast for my sweet look.  maybe i should have called it pearls and pebbles lol xo sesheta
