Outfits: My Favorite Skirts

March 9-

Favorite Skirt #1 also qualifies as my favorite thrift store find ever. Seriously, I love it. A lot. You can't really see it that well in the pictures, but it is pleated all the way around and has a great motion when I walk. So glad I found this guy.

This top was another Vera Wang item I picked up at Kohl's. It was on the clearance rack for a gazillion dollars off so I couldn't resist. I love how it ties at the neck.

Favorite Skirt #2 is one that I bought a long time ago and didn't wear it for months because I thought is was really unflattering. I eventually figured out that if I got it to sit at my waist instead of my hips, though, it looks much better. I just use the waist sash to tie keep it in place. And now it's my best friend and I wish I could wear it every day. 

Side note: this is one of my new ModCloth coats! I love the color, and the buttons are super killer. And don't even get me started on the pink lining... pure gorgeousness...

The other coat I got is pretty cool, too. Not quite as fabulous as this one, but still good. The skirt, on the other hand, was awful. On the ModCloth site is said that it ran large so I should order a size down. So I did. And it's too small. Thanks for nothing, ModCloth. At least it was only $15... I can't imagine who would have paid the original $50 for it. The darn thing wasn't even lined.

Style Inspiration: Florence Welch

I'm not quite sure that my humble little blog is capable of hosting such a large dose of stylishness without exploding. Despite my misgivings, though, I have still decided to put this post together. Ever since I discovered Florence + the Machine (I have Pandora to thank for this find) about 5 months ago, I've been obsessing over Florence Welch. She's been picking up media attention the past few weeks with being nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy, performing at the Grammy Awards, and most recently with performing at the Academy Awards only a few days ago, and I'm so happy for her that she's finally getting some proper recognition.

Wonderfully awesome voice aside, Florence has the most stellar sense of style that I've ever seen before (yup, I still use the word stellar. Made in the 90s, baby!). I wish I could say there is some sort of rhyme or reason to the following montage of pictures, but there isn't. Just go with it and enjoy!

It's official: if I could raid one celebrity's closet it would be hers. Have you ever seen so much fabulousness all in one place? I mean, just look at her! The shoes! The jackets! The dresses! The hair! The pale as death skin! Oh Florence, how do you do it?

Man, she is really making me want to get bangs. I'm so lazy about going to get my hair cut, though, and bangs need frequent maintenance, especially brow-grazers like those.
