To Be Adventurous

I have a horrible habit of second-guessing myself. I found this treasure of a skirt hidden within a thrift store just off of South Street this past spring, and Friday was the first day I ever wore it! As soon as I laid my eyes on it I knew I loved it. Most importantly, it would fit seamlessly into my existing wardrobe and add a bit of edge. Alas, I only worked up the courage to wear it after seeing about a dozen leather skirts circling the blogosphere. If I've learned anything over the past year, it's that I should trust my instincts. Because you know what? I really like everything about this skirt: the length, the fit, even the strange (but interesting!) synthetic texture. 

It didn't feel like winter until just about two days ago, but colder weather means my opaque tights will be in heavy rotation. My favorite dark red pair from Hue are showing some serious signs of wear-and-tear, and I don't know how many more times I'll be able to sew up the holes that are constantly ripping in the toes before they give out. Luckily, I found a replacement over the summer during one of Kohl's epic Gold Star clearance events. I bought a pair in teal, too.

Now that I'm home on break, I have a day full of unpacking and decorating ahead of me. I hope you enjoy the weekend as well!
