Happy Monday, all. Sometimes, when it is Monday, it is good to dress up a bit, I think. Makes the weekend-to-week transition a bit more pronounced. Or something.
Anyway, I am wearing a thrifted black and purple geometric Venezia (Lane Bryant) skirt. I like this skirt, and in fact have another thrifted skirt much like it, but I have a complaint about these types of skirts, with the translucent tops and attached underskirts. The underskirts get bunched up. Pisses me right off. With it, I'm wearing a silk and cotton blend short-sleeved faux wrap black sweater from New York & Company, purchased at the retail store (and yes, it's the same as this sweater--if I really like something, I am so not above buying it in two colors). Under that is a purple cotton camisole from Old Navy. My shoes are Ulu Mary Janes from Sierra Trading post. My necklace was handmade by my friend Turtle.
Also, I have to show you my new purse, which I am carrying today even though it matches nothing I have on. Love.

I do this exact thing, but in reverse. I only ever wear skirts on the weekend - dressing up makes me feel more fun on the weekend(until the summer hits, when it is far too hot in Korea not to wear skirts at all times.)

I have a few of the same type of skirts and I can't count the times I've struggled with them.
I am the queen of buying the same thing in lots of colors. I have two different Dansko shoe models that I have in 3 different colors.
Lastly, you got the Harvey's bag! I know it was on your wishlist. I've wanted one for ages, but never splurged on them.

I wouldn't ever have been able to justify buying it for myself, but I have to say I'm glad the not-ILs did, because it's FABULOUS. I got it in champagne, too, and I normally buy bags in black, so it's a big change-up for me. I'm loving it.

I love seeing your outfits every day!
I think you should strike a pose though, because then we could see how the clothes really look on you!
I'm also very jealous that your weather is warm enough to wear skirts.
