Scalloped Skirt.

The first time I saw a photo of this scalloped button-front skirt I knew I had to have it.
The most difficult decision then became "should I get it in navy or in camel?"
As shown below, I decided to go with the camel color; if only because I already own a navy skirt in a similar length and I wanted to change things up a bit. Well, friends, let me be the first to tell you that this skirt did not disappoint!  It is ridiculously soft and the color is even more beautiful in person. Because of the rich hue of the skirt, I decided to pair it with a striped sweater in a contrasting color to break things up and add depth to the look. Finally, I added a chunky cardigan, navy ankle boots, and a blinged out necklace.

Scalloped skirt, you had me at "hello". <3

10 brownie points for anyone who recognizes the song I referenced in the title of this post!

Other than my loving the song that this title is taken from, I have been absolutely LOVING jackets lately.  I'm talking real, deep, commitment here people!  I swear I've only worn one outfit without a jacket in the past week.  It does also help that the weather has significantly cooled down and has been perfect for jacket-wear.  Anyway, enough about my jacket-overdose.  This post is to show-case what I've been wearing the past week.  

Oh, and before I forget, prepare yourselves for an incredible upcoming giveaway from the one and only Flourish Boutique!  I don't think any of us are ready for this jelly. ;)

last week.

Hi, friends!  How was your week?  Mine was pretty good-- except that I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday.  So, I'm spending the weekend hanging out with the couch, lots of trashy magazine (thanks, Love!), and mostly the E! and STYLE networks. :)

But, enough about that.  Here's what I wore last week:

because i like skirts.

My #1 fashion go-to for work is, and probably always will be,  skirts.  And when paired with a great jacket, voila!  You look put-together in less than a minute.

Oh, and you know what takes the skirt/jacket combo over the top?  A fabulous pump!  

You've got to check out the ones I'm wearing below.  They're both from Target, and they're absolutely divine!
