Drapey Skirts and High Buns

ByJen

Hey all-
I wore this outfit a few weeks ago when I attended the Red Sprinkle fundraising event at the Walish Gooshe boutique near Silver Spring. In case you have not heard of it yet, Red Sprinkle started a Fashion Camp to educate and spark the interest of young childre๏ปฟn in the fashion industry. I am even more geeked about this camp because my friend and fellow amazing blogger Naja of NajaDiamond has been asked to speak at it! How awesome is that?!!? Boy do I wish I had that growing up. I have always loved fashion but I never thought it was a “proper” major or career and I sure was wrong! Its all I strive for now (well that and a hubby, 2 kids, 1.5 dogs and a beautiful home in Columbia, MD)! I purchased this skirt at Zara last summer and its still one of my favorites! I love the draping in the front and how it accentuates my curves while hitting the perfect length right above my knees. Skirts are tricky for me because I do have very athletic calves and non demure ankles! With this body shape, I need skirts that are a few inches above my knee, right AT my knee or completely below my calves… anything in between cuts my calves in half and makes them appear to be wider that they really are. Regardless, here is my outfit. Its basic and that is what I love! I have decided in September for New York Fashion Week, I am going to stick to simple silhouettes with super accented accessories such as earrings from UniqueLee-Yours and Crux NY!

hope my mommy likes this one better ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Oh I love it! And…I bought a grey tee and statement necklace today inspired by Comme Coco! Literally it was you I had in mind when I purchased ๐Ÿ™‚ Bloggers have so influenced my life! The other outfit was also blogger inspired too, lol!

  10. Great look!  The skirt length is perfect.  Nice shoes! Try less jewelery. Less is better. You are not Opal in All my children Lol!

  11. I think that this is well put together…jewelry and all! It’s about how she wants to express herself not the way that anyone else expects it to look! *round of applause*

  12. Oh what a great night this was *sigh* memories! ๐Ÿ™‚ Lookin great lady and I adore those wedges and the high bun is super chic!!

  16. thank you VERY much Londondiva… I do agree. It is all about what we want to wear and how we want to rock it. We can all learn from others too and accept their feedback but in the end, its your life and your look and you must do what works for yourself ๐Ÿ™‚

  17. hahahahahhh thank you! The opal look is VERY in right now….. look up “arm party” and “statement necklace” hahaha. Times are so different. Thank you for the feedback manman!!!

  22. First off buns are my favorite hairstyle for women whether relaxed or natural. As far as feeling fashion wasn’t a proper major I know exactly what you mean. I chose to attend Florida State University for their Fashion Merchandising program but because of outside influencers I changed my major to Marketing. Now I teach high school math and blog in my spare time. Sighs. However, I’m only 25 and feel that it’s still not too late to achieve my original dreams.
