one skirt, two ways...

I have this habit of wearing skirts as dresses so I decided to do a quick post showing how I rocked one skirt as a skirt, and then the next day as a dress.

Above I'm wearing a thrifted vintage skirt, Kohls tank, old random studded belt, random bracelets, vintage ring and Target wedges.

Total cost of outfit: about $35

And for a totally different look with the same skirt...

And again, wearing thrifted vintage skirt (as a dress), vintage necklaces from tag*, F21 bag, and my awesome new shoe/boot/wedge hybrids. (My man makes fun of them and calls them my "ski boots" - but what does he know?! I heart them so much!)

Total cost of outfit: about $125

So,now I challenge you to wear a skirt as a dress, or to shop your closet and find different ways to wear pieces you love. Its budget-friendly and forces you to be a little creative. As far as I'm concerned, there are no rules when it comes to fashion and your personal style, so have some fun with it!

Happy Wednesday!

go figure

Sorry for my lack of posts yet again! I promise it won't continue this way forever, life this summer just happens to be insanely busy! Not that I'm complaining, because its been a seriously awesome past few months. A few of the things that have kept me busy....

-A trip to Chicago with my mom and Grandma in June to attend a wedding shower thrown for my brother's (then) fiance, Megan

-A few Cardinals games with my man (A St. Louis must for every summer!)

-Hosted a St. Louis shower at our house for Megan

-The U2 concert at Busch Stadium with my man (freakin' awesome!!)

-Another trip to Chicago at the beginning of August to see Paul McCartney at Wrigley Field with my brother (also freakin' awesome!) - plus I managed to see one of my very best friends, Mary, and squeeze in a little vintage shopping :)

-And one more trip to Chicago this past weekend for my brother's wedding! Ryan and I also went up a day early to see some of our favorite people, Lisa and Chris!

Needless to say, its been a bit hectic and I have sucked at taking outfit pictures as often as I should have. But I do have a few saved up on my camera, and am getting back into the swing of things so hopefully my posts won't be so few and far between.

Anyway...

Here I am wearing one of my favorite dresses. Go figure, right? Bright, bold, colorful, and crazy print...duh! Oh, and I forgot to take a picture of the back, but its a seriously cool razor-back. Like, I said, one of my favorites!

Wearing vintage dress and ring from tag*, old Marshalls wedges and Walmart hoop earrings
