Frost and a Borrowed Skirt

I did it! I got up early enough to take outfit pictures before work! Okay, so it only happened once, but  at least it happened!  It wasn't exactly a warm evening either. It's hard to tell from these pictures, but there's frost on the grass! 




Outfit: Skirt- Kiyonna via GB; Shirt- H&M; Cardigan- Old Navy; Belt- Steve Madden; Boots- Madden Girl; Tights- Hue 
This skirt is my first item from Gwynnie Bee. I decided to take advantage of their first month free  promotion and sign up. After getting my first few pieces, and seeing the items they'll be adding to the collection in December, I'll definitely be continuing my subscription for at least a few months. Wondering what Gwynnie Bee is? Think rent a swag.




This skirt fit me perfectly except for the length. I like my pencil skirts to hit me at the knee and this one hit a little below my knees. I don't think styling it with boots was the best choice, but it was a chilly day. I think it would look better with platform sandals and bare legs, so maybe I'll borrow it again in the summer.

    1. It's hard. I'm not a morning person, and not having a backyard or indoor space where I can take photos means getting up an extra 20ish minutes.

  2. It's always a mad dash when I have to take outfit photos before work. And I love Parks and Rec.

    1. I think it will save me money in the long run. It's nice to have new pieces that don't take up closet space!

    1. Right?! And I'm 5'7"... I can only imagine what it'd look like on someone shorter.

  8. Can I just say that I love the color scheme here? The white, teal and black is so sharp by very feminine at the same time. (And wow, that lace top is so pretty! It's been so fun seeing all of the different way that your remix it.) That necklace is stunning as well, it looks like aquamarine beads!
    Length is always tricky for me and pencils skirts, I'm short so I can't really pull of the below the knee look, but you're tall enough that with heels this length doesn't look awkward on you.
    I commend you for taking pictures before work! I need to start pictures in the morning, I just don't have enough time in the afternoon before the sun goes down. :P

    1. That lace tank is honestly one of the best $12 I've ever spent. I wish they'd had it in black too!
