Skirt: ThredUp (Down East)
Boots: JustFab LandryScarf: Walmart
Soo...This wasn't the outfit I had planned for today, but alas, I had a button crisis and not enough time (or coordination) to sew so this is what we have instead. When the going gets tough, the tough make lemonade (bonus points if you get the reference).
As you may have noticed, I love florals, and I'll be darned if I let a tiny thing like seasons determine when I wear them. It's helpful when you have florals that come in fall colors. I found this magnificent skirt on...I'll give you one guess (or you can cheat by looking above)...ThredUP of course!
I've been asked how I find such awesome stuff on there. My secret? Scan the app constantly on my phone. While most people are waiting in line playing Kwazy Kupcakes or whatever game is hip these days, I'm scrolling through skirts, Commercial break while watching Brooklyn 99 on Hulu? Checking out shoes. Taking a mental break at the office? Take a peek at the dresses. You get the drift. You'd be amazed what you can find. I've revamped my entire wardrobe and for a fraction of the cost. Wow, this is starting to sound like a sponsored post. Is it? Nope! I just seriously love ThredUp.
Another awesome find in this outfit? That scarf. I'd been eyeing one on ModCloth for awhile, and I was about to buy it, but I took a quick trip to Walmart with the mom and what do I find? This lovely dupe. It was marked $5 which was a steal so of course, I took it up to the register. How much did it ring up? $1.98!!!! I'm not kidding. I love when the stars align.
I was planning on wearing this outfit with heels, but since it was a tad chilly this morning, I opted for the boots (which is also why I threw on the cardigan). I think it gave the outfit just a touch of country styling without going full on "hay ride". I'm pretty particular about which outfits I wear boots with. There needs to be a little bit of space between the top of the boots and the bottom of the skirt for it to work. Otherwise, your legs end up looking stumpy. This skirt was the perfect length. Just a bit of my knobby knees peeking out and we're good.
I really liked how the outfit turned out. Although I like to at least try on an outfit the night before to make sure it'll work as imagined, I got lucky with this one.
