Shirt: Ann Taylor via Arc's Value Village ; Skirt: Spell Designs ; Sandals: something from the kid's section of JC Penny's
I don't usually work my internship job on Fridays, but my supervisor asked me to come in today, so I did, making the executive decision that casual Friday called for some zebra & leopard print (do I have my animals right?). And also, apparently some major side splits! I didn't realize that the skirt had splits up the sides quite like this when I bought it at Spell Designs the other week. A little too much for work, but no regrets! Such a hot skirt and so perfect for summer. I got a bad sunburn on my upper-right thigh this past week and wearing nylon stockings was irritating it to bad. This nice flowy skirt lets the air in and is gonna be perfect for hot summer days (once they arrive).
The summer has been super mild and I have to be finding excuses to dress summery when it's overcast and barely 70 degrees. Oh, Minnesota....or oh, climate change? I definitely envisioned this summer to be only short shorts and crop tops, and that really hasn't happened yet.
So much to do, so little time. I have nothing more to say. In lieu of words, please just bow down to the glory of this skirt. xx
Casual Friday, right? :)
ReplyDeleteDamn! I want to work where you work! I could never get away with that and still be taken seriously in any of the places I've worked!
ReplyDeleteAlso, what diet are you on?! Sooooo skinny! Jealous!
Yeah everyone there is super casual! Though I'm still not sure that this skirt is appropriate....the side splits weren't as evident when not in the elements!
DeleteAnd no diet! I eat healthy, many small meals a day, and get lots of exercise in the form of walking.
In contrast, we've been having very hot and humid weather here which is completely out of character. Perhaps we got your sun this summer?
ReplyDeleteI can't say I'm too jealous, but MN summers are usually killer humid and fairly hot. We're supposed to be warming up this weekend, so we'll see..... =/
DeleteI love this outfit!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you xx
DeleteAs I'm typing this we've been hit by a thunderstorm, it literally has not stopped raining all day. So I'm wishing for crop tops and short shorts too :/ That skirt is super sassy though, I love the side splits. How you got away with wearing that to work I dont know haha.
ReplyDeleteCats in Crop Tops
Awh thunderstorms are the best sometimes! But I agree - summer is time for crop tops and short shorts! Let better weather commence for the both of us xx
DeleteThis skirt though. You look amazing! I love the really high side slit and how it shows off your tattoo. Very cool, as always!

Thanks Jamie! My tattoo is so sun burnt, it's actually looked a little amusing peeping through. xx
DeleteYou must make some good money! I could never afford that with my student loans :/ Lucky duck!
ReplyDeleteNot quite! I don't buy new clothes often, so when I do, I splurge for quality. I cut back on other parts of my life, financially. I just graduated, have a ton of loans, use public transportation, and make less than minimum wage at both of my jobs! It's all about what's most important and what you're willing to sacrifice. This skirt was a treat to myself (:
DeleteYou should do a post about how you manage your finances. What's important to you. What you save for, how you manage debt, etc.
ReplyDeleteHi anon, thanks - that's a great idea! I will definitely begin considering that...
DeleteYou are GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I approve of the splits in this skirt. Yep, hand it over to me ;)
You absolute babe.
