Hats and Scarves and Coats, Oh My!

Ok, coming across the Marc by Marc Jacobs Babylon Fit-and-Flare Jacket (below), I wanted to see more of what was out there for fall.  Not that I'm in need of a coat or scarf. And of course it's getting warmer out, when I officially get in the mood for fall.

All it Takes is a Belt and a Pair of Shoes

Clearly I'm already struggling with this challenge seeing as I did not wear the Miss Sixty floral skirt last week.  Instead what did I do?  Reached for my new clothes of course! Thursday I was meeting friends for lunch and wanted to wear one of my new dresses. Fridays are "Jean Day" in my office so I reached for my new Marciano skinnies. Today I took a vacation day and have been spending the day in either my pjs or a bikini (ahh!). But, at last, I will be wearing the Miss Sixty skirt tomorrow!  I found a red top that picked up the red in the skirt (a combination I never would have thought of before) but it has sleeves and it's deathly hot out so that outfit will have to be saved for a cooler day. (Progress = already have an outfit in mind using this skirt again!)  I decided to focus on the belt and the shoes.  I found a pair of pink heels that pick up the pink in the skirt, a pair that have not been worn for a long time.  (Double points!)      

Skirt: Miss Sixty; Top: H&M

Shoes: BCBGirls; Sunglasses: Juicy Couture

Floral Skirts

So it's Wednesday and I have yet to wear my Miss Sixty floral skirt.  Well, Monday is always a rushing-around-in-the-morning kind of day.  Tuesday I wanted to wear my new blazer and today I wanted to wear my new James Perse gray sweater (both bought before the challenge!)  Also, it's freezing in our office!  I also wanted to look around for some ideas on how to make a 2005 skirt feel fresh.  I knew I would have no issues because florals are huge this season.  Sure enough, I came across a couple of amazing outfit ideas.  I love how they paired this floral skirt with a denim top.  And I love how the shoes pick up the yellow in the skirt.  Hmm now if only I owned a denim top...

Here is another gorgeous floral print skirt by MARC by Marc Jacobs.  I love how it's paired with a mustard yellow blouse, again picking up the yellow in the skirt.

Let me dig through my closet and see what I can come up with...

Wear Me Already: Miss Sixty floral print full skirt

I bought this skirt 6 years ago at Miss Sixty in L.A. on Melrose.  I remember being in heaven trying on clothes at that store.  First time in L.A., first time on Melrose, first time shopping at Miss Sixty.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  I went back to L.A. last year only to find out the store was no longer there!  But I wanted to relive the memory! Thankfully, there is a Marc by Marc Jacobs (warning: this will not be the last time you've heard this name on here) on Melrose.  Anyway, I wore this skirt quite a few times if I remember correctly, although I don't believe I've worn it for at least 3-4 years.  I think I wore it out for the first couple of summers.  It's time to put this skirt back on and reminisce about my first time on Melrose.
