I get excited about my clothes. Clothes are my hobby and like any hobby too much of it can be a burden rather than a release, but I'm working on it. I think we all need that thing in our lives we can look forward to at the end of the workday or work week to help keep up sane. For me it's my clothes.
The other day I was feeling down. I can't remember what it was that caused my dark mood, but all of a sudden I remembered I had this beautiful skirt waiting for me at home and I had set aside an hour to look at it and pull things from my wardrobe to create outfits to go along with it. Pop! Like magic, my dark mood had disappeared and I had something to look forward to.
I wanted to buy this skirt months ago and it sold out the very day I had intended to purchase it. So, the sporadic search for it has been a nice way to unwind on stressful days, but then I found it--only one--back in stock and me with a birthday check burning a hole in my pocket. So I bought it and have hung it up to admire it like a work of art on my wall for weeks while I think up ways to wear it.
This is the first outfit I've come up with and I do have a slight confession about these pics. I didn't realize until I got home that the skirt was on sideways, so with a little Photoshop magic I've smoothed out the seam. I loved the pics otherwise and didn't want to re-shoot. So, please pardon my mistake, but also know that anyway you look at this skirt it's stunning.
