as they say in minnesota, uff-da. it's hot today.
i've been running around on a day off from camp, thrust back into the real world of banking and doctor appointments and intarwebs and, honestly, i think skirts are the most comfortable and classy way to live.
they're perfect in the winter with tights on, and in the 80 degree weather summer [i know, i know, we're lucky in maine with no humidity and it never ever getting above 90] i am so much more cooler wearing a skirt or a dress than if i had on shorts or pants. my only beef with skirts is wearing shirts over the waistband, rather than tucked in as i am oft to do - i always find that the waistband is kind of bunchy and bumpy from underneath, where i prefer a smooth silhouette.
this skirt is one of my particular favorites - many a person has told me it looks like something their grandmother would wear, little do they know that is some high praise; grandmum chic is where it's at.
necklace : montsweag flea market, maine. i knocked a third strand off because i didn't like it.
shirt : j.crew, by way of maia's closet
skirt : value village, montreal. originally ankle length and buttoned all the way down, but i hemmed her right up.
shoes : old navy, montreal. on sale for $10! i like that they're vaguely greco-roman but not overly gladiator-esque.
on a maine thrifting note, i went to montsweag this morning for some flea-marketing and it was very disappointing . . . boo. off to goodwill this afternoon!
