Sweater: J Crew
Tank: J crew
Skirt: Banana Republic

One of the advantages of the end of the teaching year is that the day starts later. I've been enjoying my extra few minutes of sleep time. I usually get my clothes ready the night before but have been procrastinating lately (because I think I have loads of time in the morning) which has resulted in me running around 5 minutes before I am suppose to leave for work screaming, "I have nothing to wear."
Yesterday was such a morning. I grabbed this Banana Republic skirt because it was expensive and I rarely wear it. Looking at the pictures, I realize why. The oval seam at the top of the skirt is highlighting an area I usually like to downplay. Hence, I spent the day slightly uncomfortable.
I've not given up on the skirt. I'll try to find a solution to cover the seams because the darn skirt cost so much and I want to get some use out of it!
It is a long weekend here, but school is still going on...
ReplyDeleteIt IS a nice skirt... I am not a fashion pro andoften would need advice myself... Have you already tried to pair it with a bright color top?
Love the sweater! I think the skirt looks fine but if it really bothers you, you might want to just sell/consign/donate it. Life is too short for clothes we don't love.
ReplyDeleteI have kept way too many things that look awful on me because they were expensive. I am slowly trying to just let them go so I can achieve my dream of a wardrobe full of things that I like that look good.
It's a work in progress :)

I have a similar skirt from BR and I don't like that oval seam at the waist either, but I like the rest of the skirt! I wonder if a really large belt would do the trick. I do think the bright top focuses the eyes away from the seam. Hope the end of the year is going well!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, a bright shirt is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGood point Matilda. I'll give it one more try and let it go if it's still not right.
Apples and Pencil Skirts, a belt sounds like a great idea! The end of year is going ok. Prom and grad were awesome but I wasn't too pleased when I found out my teaching assignment for next year. :-( I'm going to try to not think about it until August. I need a month off!
"gets" ? ha ha.
ReplyDeletelately I have not been taking out my clothes the night before AND I have been oversleeping, so I will not recount for you what morning is like here....panic.
The oval seem LOOKS fine in the pictures...it does not make you look fat.
C, typo has been fixed :P
ReplyDeleteI am just a pretend English teacher. I teach it but I don't have an English degree. :P
You look lovely in coral- what a cute sweater. I am now an avid follower and appreciate the blog love. You're the best!
ReplyDeleteAck... I wrote "seem" not "seam," so I am just as bad. Maybe worse.
ReplyDeleteWhat about wearing a longer shirt (for example, a button down that hits at your waist and belting it) over the shirt.. you can also do the same thing with a slightly longer sweater that hits at your hip. Nothing longer than the crotch area....I have spent numerous hours trying to solve these little fashion annoyances.
