Consignment skirt

So I got this skirt via the consignment shop that I frequent in Pittsburgh. There is nothing better than finding something both stylish and unique in the perfect size and better yet, for $12. I think I am a romantic at heart and finds like this floral print skirt are evidence of that. I just fell in love with the bright red pattern and neutral background. Although floral prints are in right now, I swear I made them popular 2nd through 3rd grade. My love affair clearly never ended.

Spring forward

I know it's not spring yet, but I have been waiting for the perfect day to break out this floral print dress with some layering action. I wore this dress for my friend's rehearsal dinner last summer. It actually poofs out a little at the waist but under this sweater it just looks like a skirt. There is no occasion for it other than the fact that it's finally March and the weather just has to get better, it just has to!

Brighten up

I know that you just set your clocks back and that when you drive home at say 5 or 5:30 it is practically pitch black outside already. So to brighten up your day, I suggest taking your floral pieces from this summer and making them winter and fall appropriate with tights, leggings, and cardigans. I am actually not wearing tights in this photo, but knee socks that I purchased at Marc's grocery store for about 50 cents. The dress is from Forever 21. This outfit worn with maybe some thicker leggings or tights and a heavy cardigan can be worn through winter. And maybe some boots too! Just make sure you have a warm coat.

Flower Power

I secretly love anything floral print. Even though I used to pretend that I hated it and that it looked outdated, I know I owned several dresses and jumpsuits with a floral print when I was younger. I rocked those floral prints then, and I'm going to rock them now!

So, you could understand my elation when floral print all of the sudden became stylish again. I just have to say that this dress was a no-name brand purchase from Gabriel Brothers for $20. I wore it to a wedding last weekend and people mistaked it for a dress from J.Crew (which was my plan all along).

As much as I love pairing a floral print with black tights to give it more of an edge, I can't help but admit that what compliments it best are this button down white blouse and a pair of mary janes, and I will soon be receiving my membership to the American Association of Librarians. Is anyone looking for a sexy librarian?
