... into trying something new. My skirt is a Michael Kors from several seasons ago that my husband surprised me with (he got it off eBay). It's got an elastic/drawstring waist that sort of does a paperbag kind of thing at the top. It actually sits right below my knees if I wear it properly, but this day (Fourth of July, if you couldn't tell by the color scheme) I pulled it up to my natural waist. The tank came from WalMart, I don't remember where the cardigan came from, the wedges are Nine West via a discount store. And I got my tiny top hat, which is actually a headband, at a boutique in one of the quirky neighborhoods downtown. The belt was made by my grandmother back in the day - so the 60's maybe? It's legit vintage :o)
The reason I consider this trying something new is because I never would have thought to belt a skirt with a drawstring waist. But I've been seeing it all over the style blogs and thought I'd try it. I got an awful lot of compliments on my outfit that day so I'm glad I took a small risk and played with the outfit. It paid off.
