First for the last

 

This will be my very first outfit post, and it is the outfit I wore for my last day at the Children’s Hospital, which happened to be on a Thursday which also happened to be Girls Night Out.

Red happens to be one of my most favorite colors. And this skirt is one of my many loves, and an absolute favorite. I get several complements from complete strangers, every time I wear it, which makes me want to wear it out all the time.

 

The shoes are my latest purchase, the JS by Jessica Ediths.

• Skirt – Forever21 about 3 years ago. I believe I paid something like $14.99 for it.
• Shirt – Papaya, also about 2 or 3 years old.
• Shoes – DSW (JS by Jessica)
• Necklace – The Limited or Express on sale about a year ago

Let’s talk skirts

 

I love skirts. The fact that they are easy to put on, all you have to do is lift them up to pee, and the fact that husbands hands always find my thigh, makes life a lot easier and happier.

As I dump clothing out of my closet to organize, refresh and so on, I realize that I don’t have as many skirts as I use to, and the ones I do have seem to be a little funny on my larger then usual thighs and hips. So I am now on a mission to find skirts. Specifically, knee length, flowy, feminine and at the same time sexy skirts.

I literally created this outfit around the amazing yellow skirt! Beautiful isn’t she?! And of course the rest of the items that go in this outfit. I think if I could located all of these within the boarders of Colorado I would spend the obnoxious amount just to own it.

BUT I had a brighter idea. I use to sew skirts for myself. So guess what I’m going to do?! … Yes you are correct, I am going to try and recreate this skirt. I think I will head to JoAnns tomorrow to find some yellow fabric, a zipper and some thread. And maybe, just maybe… by the end of the week I will have this beauty hanging in my closet.

 

These are some of the others that I am loving!
