I can't drink wine, so I'll wear it.

I can't stop buying maxi skirts for the following reasons:

1. I don't have to shave if I wear them.

2. They're not pants.

3. The waistline forgives.

4. I can dress them up...or down.

5. I can sleep in them (tested that one out on Saturday--pure, comfortable success).

Jeff agreed to take my picture because I posed with the deck steps he recently rebuilt. 

Yes, we still have to stain the whole deck and one random board is brown, but they sure are beautiful. 

Clothing Homes:

Skirt: American Eagle Outlet (closest I could find at AE)

Sandals: Pink & Pepper via Marshall's (cute Steve Madden option)

Bag: It's Kenneth Cole Reaction via Boscov's for $35! (nice from Amazon)

Top: Old Navy (close, inexpensive option from Old Navy)

Belt: Express (I believe)

Occasion: Cousin's birthday party

When: 4:30-?

Where: Indoors

Comfort Rating: 10/10 (despite the belt)

Comments: I tried the shirt tied in a knot, but that didn't work for this skirt. It landed at an odd spot above the skirt. I tried leaving the shirt loose, but it made it me look too boxy.  

I tucked it in, but it didn't look pulled together until I added the belt.

Restyling Options: For work, I'd throw on my khaki and white polka dot cardigan or my plaid blazer. 

If it were a little bit chillier, I'd throw on a jean jacket.

If it were winter time, I'd replace the sandals with flats and throw on a leather jacket.
