J. Crew Girl

(Insert overused greeting here),

     So... for this post, I wanted to show you one of the outfits that I have concocted...
    

     One of my favorite parts of waist skirts is that even if your shirt's too long or short, it doesn't matter as long as the top half fits! :D

     Mustard and navy blue instantly makes me think of J. Crew, and I also love this outfit because of the waist skirt and cardigan mix.

     I think it makes me look more sophisticated than my regular clothes, but it doesn't make me look too old for my age. Also, the backpack kinda gives it a young schoolgirl feel. One of my favorite parts is the cute headband... it's like my signature hair accessory. I usually just slip one on instead of doing some complicated braid bun thing-a-ma-jig with scrunchies and bobby pins.

     I never feel comfortable wearing a waist-skirt unless I'm also wearing a belt. This is my favorite and most-worn belt because it's thick so it can hide the place where the two garments meet, and also because it goes with virtually ANYTHING... I also love it because  the large buckle and the brown leather weave keep it interesting.

  

     The only thing I would change about this outfit is the shoes. I've been searching for a pair of wingtip oxfords, and I think they would have given this outfit the perfect old-fashioned flair. I found this really adorable pair online:

     I would have liked them in the baby blue they are shown in, the classic white and black, or an ivory with pink roses print. I think the four eyes are adorable and the patent leather makes it look light and flirty.

     Do you think this outfit was a hit or miss?

Stay beautiful,
