Girl Power!

I think it's hilarious and awesome that almost every single blog I follow is posting about the cold. And her absolute detest of the cold. It's generated a lot of discussion, lovies! It wasn't all that long ago that I was excited about a little chill in the air, but this seemingly arctic winter isn't pleasing anyone. Oh well... just like the rest of ya, I'm not letting it get me down! What I am upset about is my stupidity and forgetting not to step in the grass today so as to not ruin the suede on my new Madden Girl pumps. Shite. Having pretty things takes responsibility... and I seem to forget this often. Oh well... here's a pretty, girly, frilly, pink outfit to cheer you me up.




Top: gold satin ruffly thing, from Express (sorta kinda similar to)

Sweater: cropped embellished cardi, WHBM (similiar to)

Belt: uhh... stretchy and black.

Skirt: F21 side ruffle skirt (still available)

Shoes: BCBG reptile print slides

Necklaces: Express and maybe F21?

Most of these items are ones I drug out of my closet, with the exception of the slides (bought this summer, but maybe no longer available) and the skirt. Although I love doing this, I hate that I can never link my stuff... I'm going to try and do something similar to the other fashion-bloggies and link a "similiar to" item next to the things I wear that are old as poop... hope it's helpful!

p.s., Funny thing about this skirt. I bought it larger so I could wear it lower (like I've mentioned), but wanted it high waisted for this outfit. So I took a thick belt and cinched the skirt, using the belt as a way to keep it up. I think this works for a lot of skirts, which gives me some versatility I wouldn't have had without the trick. Some skirts may not look nice when cinched, but it's good to at least attempt!
