Mixing chunky knits with a white lace skirt for an afternoon out hanging with my boo. I love the contrast created using the bold teal blue knit over the light and delicate lace skirt (which also happens to be part of a two piece dress). The knit you see me wearing is actually an infinity scarf but it was too warm to have worn it bundled up. Seeing as how I couldn’t part with it (due to it’s perfect pairing with the clutch) I styled it like a poncho. Which created a pretty neat effect with the fringe detailing of the scarf.

Flamingos
Top, bebe (old). Skirt (here). Purse, Rebecca Minkoff. Sunnies, (here). Ring, Samantha Wills.
These poor flamingos have been cooped up in my closet for months now! I fell in love with this flamingo skirt the minute I saw it on the Chicwish website. However, when the skirt arrived I was quite surprised at just how long and pouffy the flamingo skirt turned out to be. While the skirt looked perfect on the model, on my short self the hem landed at pretty much my ankles. Not at all below the knees as most midis would. So of course I felt kinda silly when trying it on. The look on my boyfriend’s face when he saw it wasn’t comforting either. To be honest, that’s why it took me so long to wear it. I always envisioned pairing the flamingo skirt with cute flats but that wasn’t even an option in my case. Given the cut and pouff factor I was a bit nervous to wear it just anywhere. And so it waited for that perfect summer night out. I finally let the flamingos loose last week when we went out for Thai. Paired the skirt with a pair of caged heels and the skirt no longer looked as scary to me (as it did when it was on the hanger) after I wore it out. I think even my boyfriend was impressed after the fact.
Has this every happened to you? Where something you bought doesn’t look anything like you envisioned, but you found a way to make it work? Would love to hear your stories.
