Lace Detail Top: Chadwicks. Belt: Beatnix. Lace Detail Skirt: The LImited. Shoes: Steve Madden. Bracelets: can’t remember…
I love my mornings. People may think I’m odd, but I get up about 1 1/2 hrs before I actually have to leave for work every day. Yep, that makes for a pretty early wake up call (particularly since my commute is close to an hour!), but it’s worth it.
I make coffee and eat a nice breakfast, take a long shower or bath, watch a little TV, pick out my outfit, pack my lunch and workout clothes for the day, and finally take a quick blog pic before heading out the door.

On to the clothes --
I like to mix more classic softer pieces with bolder modern accent items - so the belt, bracelets, and shoes helped give this girly look just a hint of drama.
My only issue with the outfit originally was the fit of the skirt. I’ve lost a couple pounds of late and have found a few of my skirts too big around the waist. The best option is, of course, to have them taken in – but until I get to my seamstress, I’m using this handy trick: a belt!
I just tucked the excess skirt fabric under the belt and cinched myself right up! It isn’t something I’d recommend on a regular basis, but in a pinch it definitely works.
