Winter is dead to me!

Dead I tell you, Dead! well at least when it comes to what I wear.  I really love wearing skirts and dresses but the cold walk has kept me at bay.  Thus, (big sigh) I’ve been wearing pants to work almost every day but I decided today to rough it.  I have been wanting to wear my clearance find Banana Republic skirt since I bought it this summer, but every time I put it on it looked weird; I could never find the right top to work with the pleating.  Last night I tried it as a work skirt (I had originally bought it as a dress skirt)  and paired it with a blue oxford; I didn’t like the color combo but did like the aesthetic.  This morning I tried it with a white oxford and liked it even with the collar not laying right.

With the black belt and layered necklaces I thought it looked really polished.

I also went with flats today ( I wasn’t feeling heels at work today).  I chose a my velvet jeweled ballet flats (if anyone knows how to get milk stains ( I had a lunch meets shoes issues last year in by bag) out of velvet, let me know)
