Sweater:  J.Crew (adorable as well) // Skirt:  Loft (similar; also similar) // Necklace:  J.Crew (factory version) // Pumps:  Nine West //

I love jeans…more than anyone should.  However, at times, jeans become so very boring.  I have decided to start, no matter what, switching up pants for a skirt or dress at least once a week (at least while the weather is gorgeous)!  Skirts create such a different vibe to your look and often elevate your style to a point that is oh so very fancy without really trying.

Tip:  While this outfit has different patterns in it, it works because the patterns don't compete with one another.  Print mixing is easy as long as one pattern is stronger than the other.  The small dots and large stripes also complement one another because they carry colors from the same color family (blue).

.:Bows for Days:.

 //Sweater:  J.Crew // Necklaces:  Mindy Mae's Market & J.Crew (similar) // Skirt:  Kate Spade (similar)(this full skirt and this skirt are next on my wish list) // Heels:  Nine West//

This is probably my favorite type of outfit.  Nothing feels as feminine and wonderful as a nice full skirt.  Every time I wear one I remember why I love them and vow to not only add more to my collection on future shopping trips, but wear them more often as well.  Is there an item in your wardrobe that does that to you?

xoxo,

Abbie
