I picked the Andes Skirt because I loved the pattern and the high-waist/pencil shape to it was so cute! Living in Hawaii, I was a little curious if it was going to be practical for me, as my style has definitely been more casual over this past year. But, when it came, I was in love! It is nice and lightweight, making it great for warm weather. You could also wear it with tights or leggings, making it a great transitional or layering piece, as well.
The first time I wore it was to an educational conference in Kona with my new principal. I wanted to make a good impression - I think I nailed!

I paired it with a mustard colored cotton top and coral sandals. Since the conference was in an air-conditioned room, I threw on a neutral sweater. It was perfect! The fabric is so soft and the high waist didn't bother me as I sat in meetings all day.
The next time I wore it was this week to school!

This time I paired it with an orangy top, a green military jacket, different coral sandals (I'm obsessed with sandals!), and a low bun. I got so many compliments at school! It was great for walking around the classroom, even sitting on the carpet with kids. The *only* trouble I had was I had to do a little hop to get into my car because the opening of the skirt near my knees is a little small. It wasn't a huge problem, though.

I never used to wear skirts, dresses or really care about my clothes - I recently have lost 45 pounds and feel GREAT and would LOVE to win this cute skirt and FEEL GOOD in it! It's funny how versatile it is - when you paired it with different tops, it looked so different - LOVE it. I think I would need to wear a cardigan {I have mustard colored one that I think would look great with it} since the weather is growing chillier by the day here in MI. I wonder how it would look with tights?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win!!!!
