I was feeling feminine today and dressed accordingly.
I also took some inspiration from other bloggers when putting my outfit together.
Exhibit A: The skirt.
I have seen this skirt worn by many a fashion blogger in the blogging circuit, as I'm sure you have too. It was made in a variety of colors, and each blogger has styled it their own special way. I really liked the skirt when I saw it in other people's blogs, such as when Kendi of Kendi Everyday wore her gray one here, and I liked it even more when I found it brand new with tags still intact at Goodwill for $3. Thank you Target for sending your leftover merchandise to the good people of Goodwill where good shoppers like me can take advantage of good deals. Good job.
Exhibit B: The color of the skirt.
I got dressed late today, which means I got to do some morning reading beforehand. After reading Kileen's post (from Cute and Little) about wearing white in the winter, I decided to give it a shot. I quite liked the outcome.
I wanted to keep it simple but not overly monochromatic, so I wore burgundy tights for a dose of color.

ADORE that skirt...JEALOUSY!!!! I want it but my clothes budget is nilch...but you're right. Goodwill has a good rep for carrying brand new target goods. Awesomeness!
I'm a sucker for both lace and burgundy tights.

I've been on such a colored tights kick this season! So fun!
And thanks bunches!
@Ramsey
My budget is extremely modest, as well. I've been relying on Christmas money, gift cards, and creativity lately, but I enjoy a good challenge!
@Robyn
I'm rediscovering lace lately, and I'm loving it!
@veronika, tick tock vintage.
Thanks so much! That's exactly what I was going for!
@kileen
Thanks, Kileen! I was shocked when I found TONS of these skirts at a Goodwill in San Antonio!
Holy cow- I'm SO jealous. Seeing as I don't have even a Walmart in my little town, I don't expect we'll be getting any leftover merchandise annyy time soon. Lucky gal! I love that white skirt. You styled it just right!
@maggeygrace
