The Scary Skirt


Shirt: H&M
Skirt: Forever 21
Shoes: Dexter, Payless

Here it is, the infamous "scary" skirt in all of its 1950's taffeta glory. Let me just say that I LOVE this skirt. However, it is a statement piece. If you want to wear a skirt such as this you kinda have to pair it with simpler pieces to make sure that you don't come off as costumey. I chose this skirt in a neutral color to make it wearable for everyday and I paired with a simple shirt and some casual cute wedges.

An Education

People often think that I put a TON of time into my appearance, waking up hours before I need to be at class or work to get "dressed up." Well let me tell you here, THAT'S NOT TRUE. I usually spend an hour TOPS getting ready for work or class and that includes breakfast, hygiene, hair, make-up and fashion selection. And I will also tell you this, you can do this too! All it takes are a few go to basics to cut your morning routine in half.


1. Cardigans–The perfect top off to any Plain Jane outfit. These cute, simple cardigans from Old Navy can take you from zero to chic in 60 seconds.
2. Full Skirts–Always cute and always comfortable, these 50's inspired skirts from Forever 21 are all excellent go to pieces.
3. Sundresses–These feminine frocks, from Urban Outfitters and Forever 21, can create an entire outfit in just one piece. Surprisingly, they are also insanely comfortable!
4. Cute, Comfy Shoes–A pair of playful wedges, like these Dexter ones from Payless, some ladylike flats, like these from Salvatore Ferragamo, and a pair of easy, strapy sandals are essential to creating an easy-chic wardrobe.
5. Slacks–These professional, polished pants from Charlotte Russe also play well as a casual staple.

Little Bow on the Prairie



Shirt: Twelve by Twelve, Forever 21
Skirt: Monteau, Forever 21
Shoes: Dexter, Payless

No, no, this isn't the scary skirt. It is just another of my wonderful purchases from Forever 21 yesterday. This skirt is so wonderfully high waisted, it makes me feel super vintage. Today at Justine, we laid out a few of the fashion stories, and let me say that my outfit must have made me feel especially girly today, because they layouts are vintage-chic and super feminine. I can't wait for you all to see them!
