Outfit 54: Coral Skirt and Black Laced Pumps

Forgive my tired eyes... it's been a long week!

It's been a long time since I've loved an outfit so much I wanted to put it on the blog! It's sad when you lose passion for some of the smaller things in life. I've been so busy and distracted with life that I've stopped putting much energy into my outfits. I typically like what I wear these days (I think I have a better sense of what I like to wear and what looks good, thanks to this blog) but I just don't think about it much more. 

So, little by little, slowly but surely I'll finish up this blog! Anyway, I LOVE this outfit and it has such great stories behind it that I'm really looking forward to sharing it.

This is a better shot of the outfit with the heels, and I honestly can't decide which I love more - the skirt or the heels! I figured a good day to dress up is a day when you're out and about - and I had quite a few errands to run. The shirt has a black cami under it, and was a $3 thrift store find 2 summers ago. Thanks to my mom for that one! And the necklace was a gift, and in Outfit 11 and Outfit 42. 

Skirt - Chic Envy Consignment - $20

This skirt = perfection. Remember the blue gypsy skirt in Outfit 36? Well, this one is competing with that and I had no idea that was possible.
1. It's CORAL - which is probably my newest favorite color. My best friend, Bess and I went shopping this past weekend when I was in Fairfax visiting her, and she found this AMAZING consignment shop! And kept saying how much she associates the color coral with me - so after I found this skirt, and it fit (perfectly!!) I was sold. 
2. It has POCKETS!!! and HUGE pockets at that. Now I did try using them today and I thought they would rip, just because they go down to my knees. Weird. A skirt with deep pockets? That's definitely new. But so cool!
3. It TWIRLS! Almost like the blue gypsy skirt! It's long enough that it's got the length under it, and it has enough material to twirl! 

In other words, it's perfect. And the belt was a 50 cent find in the Target dollar bins at the front door... it might have been in another post but it's sparkly, and too long, so I had my dad put extra holes in it so I could wear it. It's awesome. I actually wore it yesterday too!





These SHOES! I love them so much. They are not only gorgeous and edgy, but they're actually comfortable! For heels, that is. It's a chunky heel so there's support, and the lace up front gives more support. At least, that's my justification!

Chic Envy - $42

So these shoes are also from Chic Envy, but they were definitely the most expensive part of the outfit! Totally worth it though. They were $42, which is an expensive pair of heels in my wardrobe, but I'm so incredibly happy to have them! And I wore them quite a bit in the store, and after I had them on for longer than 5 minutes I was sold. 

And there's another part of this outfit, which is my watch, but I think I'll save that for a later post. I think there are enough stories in this one! Anyway, I felt like a princess wearing this today and absolutely loved it!

Total Cost: $65.50
