Purple skirt

Hanging out with Charles.  That boy is always staring me down.

This outfit felt extra fun and wintery while still pretty unexpected. I wore it for a casual day at work.  The coolest thing about it is these leggings which are sparkly.  It's hard to tell in the pictures, they look almost more like leather.  Leather leggings would be pretty cool too.  These could work as pants but not quite for daytime.  I paired them with a skirt to make the whole thing more work appropriate.

Patriotic prepster

Jeans go to work today with stripes and a red headband for a preppy, semi-patriotic look. 

Messy hair keeps it from looking too stuffy.  I've been really into messing up my hair lately so I don't feel too prim and proper.

Knotted striped shirt

Another winter work outfit. Had a few meetings today.  I love this green dress-to-skirt combo. Makes me wish it was just a skirt sometimes.  Seriously,  a high-waisted, brightly colored, swishy skirt would go great in my wardrobe.  Till then, this dress can do the trick.

Hair was in a side ponytail, played up the messy-ness of second day hair.

Blue skirt

I wore this to work on an event day.  It was for a sad occasion where the client requested the guests to not wear black, so this was my professional-looking-but-not-black-or-too-serious ensemble.

This skirt is actually a maxi dress, and has been so much more versatile than I expected.  I bought it second hand.  It originally had pleats, which I washed out.  Oops.  But, it works great as a long and voluminous skirt with the right sort of top + belt.

Hair is milkmaid braids.  Takes a long time but always looks more complicated than it actually is!
