One of my new favorite garments is an a-line skirt, like the one I’m wearing in today’s outfit. They can work on a variety of different shapes & sizes, and have such a beautiful, lady-like look to them. I love the mixture of femininity and faux leather in this particular skirt. It creates such a great feel to the skirt, and makes it so completely versatile. In this particular outfit, I went for a mixture of masculine and feminine. Mixing a plaid button down with a faux leather skirt and adding pops of pink really made this outfit so much fun to wear. I always associate plaid button downs with masculinity. That may seem odd, but when I was in college, I had to wear a plaid button down as part of my uniform for my welding class. At that time the only plaid button down I could find was in the men’s department, so I felt extremely masculine during that class. I’ve always been a bit of a tom boy, not wearing many skirts or dresses until I graduated college (aside from the random ball gown for homecoming, prom, and the play dress up days). There’s definitely fun in wearing men’s clothing as well. It’s fantastic to mix a men’s shirt with a skirt or skinny jeans and a pair of heels. There’s just that great funk it adds to any outfit, really (and I’m not a fan of the menswear trend).
On a side note – please bear with me this week…my laptop is having some issues, and is being repaired. I’m a sad, sad lady right now, but hopefully it will be fixed soon and everything will be happy again.
I love this outfit and the subtle mixed prints, the textures, and all the color! I’m also totally lusting over your jewelry storage, yowzas! But really, this outfit is fab
You look absolutely adorable in this outfit and I adore your necklace. Like, really adore it. I’m a huge fan of a-line skirts as well and you’re rocking it in this look! I’ll have to check out Target sometime!
Seriously…how fab do you look in this post?!!! I love it all…the skirt fits you perfectly, I personally love the plaid…reminds me of Indiana where I grew up…but you make it look much chicer and the tights & shoes are super fun!!

Oh, that skirt just won my heart! I think we all need a great leather (or faux leather) piece in our closet. Love it paired with the polka dot tights and bright shoes!
