In order to not go broke by spending all my hard-earned money on cute accessories, chic outfits, and OMG shoes, I've reinvested in an old skirt. I've come to the realization that I still love this skirt, and so should you.
For one, it's a pencil skirt, and it's perfect for shaping a silhouette. The high-waisted look adds curve and elegance. I paired it with this polka dot top all the way from London. I've mentioned this top before but didn't really feature it. But the back says it best: "Open your heart; I'll make you love me."
...or maybe that was Madonna...
Top: Primark £3Sunglasses: Michael Kors
Skirt: Wetseal $12 (i think)headgear: Claires $6
Oh, and I wore this belt but twisted it to the side because I think it looks great this way...and it adds a bit extra to an old skirt.
♥ ♥ ♥I recommend listening to Madonna's "Open Your Heart" now because it's an awesome song.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
p.s.
Smashbox’s Quench Moisture Rich Lip Gloss is only $5 (a $21 value) right at Sephora!—It's a sheer watermelon shade. No promo code necessary.
