Stylin'

When my friend Tifani emailed me this morning asking for suggestions on how to style the Painted Morning Skirt (she has an almost identical version from Forever 21!) I was totally excited to play around on Polyvore and see what I could come up with. I seriously have so much fun on that site, and if you ever want me to do the same for you, just shoot me an email and I'll squeal at the chance :)

For this first outfit I picked a blouse that I know Tifani already owns. She lives in a warm weather state, so hopefully, it's not too long until she can try pairing these pieces.

I was just about to search around for a polka dot top to try some subtle pattern mixing, when Jenni posted her adorable outfit of the day featuring this top. She saved me a bunch of time having to hunt one down. I really love navy and yellow together and I would totally wear this outfit in a heartbeat.

Next it was onto "uniform" dressing as I call it. But really, you can't go wrong with the basics. And I think any fun shoe would add interest to the outfit and keep it from being too ordinary. For a more casual look you could swap out the ruffled blouse wih a cotton tank or cami.

For the final look, I took a chance. I haven't seen this skirt, or the F21 version in real life, so I'm not entirely sure about the texture and weight and how it would translate across the seasons. But in the event that it is appropriate for Fall, here's an option on how to wear it ;)

So there you go, Tif! I hope this helps. Coming up with these cute outfits certainly helped me unwind from a long (thought the day would never end) snow day with my kids.
