Sometimes I find myself buying things and never end up wearing it. This poor little skirt for example has been sitting in the bottom of my shopping bag for half a year and I almost felt guilty when I saw her laying there looking a little pissed off (yes clothes has feelings too). The funny thing is I stalked it for months on ASOS for it to come back in stock.
In my most convincing Carrie Bradshaw voice, sometimes I can’t help but wonder, do we shop just to shop? Do we really wear everything we buy and how much money do we actually waste on clothes and accessories that we don’t wear?
Anyway, happy Wednesday loves! I’m heading off to New York today when all the NYFW craze is dying down even though NY is still the city that never sleeps, NYFW or not. I’ll be there to celebrate my friend’s last days as a single woman, attend Couture Fashion Week, visit old friends, meet new ones and you guess it, shop! :)
This skirt is HOT! I love it!
Just wanted to say that I love the quotes that you post. They are so on point. Thank you for sharing those on your blog. Oh. And I also wanted to say that I LOVE YOUR SENSE OF FASHION!!! I mean, you’re bold and not afraid to purchase that daring skirt in the store that most people would pass by. Not only that, you take it and pair it up with the perfect top and accessories and BAM! You’re an artist!!! I love it!!! I love your color sense as well.
I’m definitely guilty of shopping because I love it-not because I am gonna wear everything that I buy. There’s no way in the world that will ever happen. It’s a good thing that I shop sale/clearance racks otherwise I would have wasted millions of dollars by now.
BTW-I can’t believe you left this lovely skirt in the bag for so long. She would have been worn immediately if she were mine.

I Love this print with the chambray, I wouldn’t have thought to add pearls but it totally works! Thanks for teaching me something new again! Xoxo
You always get it right Chica!

Gosh, I’m sure happy you pulled this skirt out of your closet, it’s gorgeous and fits you like a glove! I love how you paired it with a casual chambray top, and the more I look at your Marc Jacobs bag, the more convinced I am that it suits you more than the Celine :)

Sounds like fun! With you there, it’ll still be fashion month! Hehe. I love the skirt, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I remember seeing this on Asos. I think they had a dress verion, too. Love that you wore chambray / denim with it. Such a great combination. Enjoy your NY holiday! :)
Love your style honey!
Love this outfit! You’re so inspirational!
Cute! I have that pattern in a dress, I’ll have to consider putting a button up over it.

All it too was reading the title to know what you were rickin’ today, lol. Not because I had seen it before (fairly new subscriber here) but because I have the same skirt. And imagine my surprise that you wore the same H&M top I paired with it! Good call on the pearls, though; I kept it simple with my signature necklace and some lobster earrings I treated to some black paint and black cowboy boots. Love your fashion diary, when mine is [finally] up I invite you to check it out!
Yeah…auto text much? Lol I’m sure you understood.
Yessss, I’ve always loved this skirt on you! And I’ve been eyeing that H&M denim shirt for awhile because my life has been devoid of the perfect chambray/denim shirt. ;) Love this adorable mix of casual meets unique chic! I’ve already said this, but have lots and lots and lots of fun in NYC, living it up, seeing the sights, shopping, and food!
In my most convincing Carrie Bradshaw voice, sometimes I can help but wonder, do we shop just to shop? Do we really wear everything we buy and how much money do we actually waste on clothes and accessories that we don’t wear? Oh, I’m afraid I don’t really have an answer to this sage question… because you know me too well, whoops! Then again, I do show restraint SOMETIMES, which I’m somewhat proud of, haha. …Yet I say this as several shopping sites are open (H&M, ASOS, and HauteLook). Oh well!

I love the chambray top, it really goes with everything! Don’t worry you’re not the only who who does that. I am totally guilty of it! Have fun in NY and can’t wait to see the pics!
oOoOo safe trip over to NYC! Be prepared – it’s so much cooler than it was a week ago! (I left for cancun for 4 days – when I left it was still hot enough that you’d break a sweat after walking 4 blocks, but when I came back it was suddenly fall and I had to dig out my sweaters! So weird.)
Cute skirt!!!!
