Ebay / floral infinity scarf / ivory v-neck sweater / leather pencil skirt / red booties / target

Size Matters

          Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m referring to the skirt!  I actually didn’t realize how much too big the skirt was until I looked at the pictures…after I’d worn it of course.  So that means I walked around all day looking like I was sporting a garbage bag.  I’m not fishing for compliments here, just being realistic. That’s another cool thing about having a blog.  You get a chance to really see what works and what doesn’t. Even though it did indeed feel too big when I put it on, I wore it anyway because I’ve wanted a leather skirt for so long I had to wear it.
      Never fear though, when I realized how bad it was, I scoured Ebay and found a different one. Hopefully it will look less like a little girl playing dress up in grown up clothes and more like the smokin’ hot edgy look I was shooting for. I thought about getting it altered, but I have to imagine the cost of having leather tailored would be more than I was willing to spend.
      In any case, I love the floral scarf.  The colors are fall-ish and it pops nicely against the ivory sweater.  Live and learn, right?

Style Tip:  If something doesn’t fit properly, get it tailored or try a different size.  Fit is everything!

This is too funny. I just bought a leather skirt that looks almost exactly like this. It has a bit of an A-line cut. Do..do…do..do..do…get out of my head hair twin! LOL Mine isn’t big though. I picked it up in a thrift store, and when I put it on I paired it with a sweater. Seriously. Scary right? Soon I will be able to post on your blog and you can post on mine and no one will be able to tell the difference.

Those booties are killing me. I’ve been scouring Ebay for some in leather.

I had to do something to get over the disappointment! Ha! I just gave this skirt to a friend…that way someone else can love it.

Sometimes pictures are great clarity that something doesn’t fit right! I felt the same way with my of my recent purchases. Loved it in the mirror, took a picture, and I was like “Oh gosh, is that what it looks like?!” Glad you found a new one 🙂

True…too big is better than too small! Me too, I was so sad when I was again leather skirtless…
