I just had to!

First off, sorry for the lack of OOTD's lately. I know a lot of you really like seeing those, and I love doing them, but I haven't found time lately. However, I promise they will be back in full force soon! So don't fret, my OOTD-loving bloggies.

On another note, I caved today and purchased this splurge of a skirt. I had to. It was calling my name. Thanks a lot, Shopbop, for again sucking me in to your guiles. Eeeep!

Rebecca Taylor burnout leopard ruched skirt

I love the runway styling-- the polka dots, silk lounge jacket and blue theme is beautiful. But I had to try my hand at my own stylings, and I came up with about a million different things. I can't wait to have this in my little hands and try these out in person! Which do you like best, hmmm?

Most of the items above are easy to recreate, and I used mostly F21 tops to complete the outfits. I just hope Ms. Rebecca Taylor doesn't barf when she realizes her $200 skirt is being paired with $20 tops. Oy.

My fave? The denim jacket/skirt idea. Not a denim jacket girl, but I'm LOVING the idea of a pretty skirt with ruffles paired with a sturdy denim. Oh la la, spring must get here ASAP.
