NEW PLATFORMS TRIAL RUN / FUSCHIA TIGHTS AND WHITE FLORAL SKIRT

I've been inspired by so many of the White skirts with winterized legs lately. My tights keep singing their siren song, along with my new love of Berets. The sunny day today is making me peckish for Spring!

MY FUCHSIA TIGHTS WERE SINGING THEIR SIREN SONG!

ALONG WITH MY NEWEST THRIFT FIND. A PAIR OF NINE WEST PLATFORMS IN BROWN CROC, BOUGHT A COUPLE MONTHS BACK.

ONLY 8 BUCKS, WHICH IS HIGH FOR A THRIFT FOR ME, BUT THEY WERE BRAND NEW!

TOOK THE BLUE, PINK AND GREENS FROM THE SKIRT, AND ADDED A BLUE BERET WITH A GREEN KNITTED BEADED NECKLACE. AND SOME HIPPYISH SILVER DANGLE EARRINGS WITH A GREEN STONE.

THREW A FUCHSIA TANK OVER A BASIC WHITE T, ADDED A BELT WITH SILVER HARDWARE AND MY PINK WATCH.

AFTER WOBBLING AROUND IN THE PLATFORMS, PUT ON MY BROWN BALLET FLATS WITH A HOT PINK BAG.

IT HAS A GOLD CHAIN, BUT I'M TRYING NOT TO BE SO MATCHY-MATCHY.

COMFORT WINS OUT OVER BEAUTY, ESPECIALLY ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON!

(Who the hell am I looking at over there!?)

NOTE TO SELF: NEW POSES!

DENIM MINI WITH TAUPE TIGHTS AND BLUE SOCKS

MY INSPIRATION FOR THIS LOOK CAME FROM IN STYLE MAGAZINE, A COUPLE ISSUES BACK. I TEAR OUT PAGES FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND KEEP THEM IN A FOLDER.

THE LOOK WAS A DRESS, BUT I HAD A SIMILAR SKIRT AND DECIDED TO "WINTERIZE" IT.

ADDED A FUNKY , THRIFTED BACK-PACK TO ADD SOME POP AND TEXTURE.

(Plus I've been wanting to carry this bag for awhile! it's a thick, upolstery material)

I TRIED TUCKING THE SWEATER IN, BUT IT MADE THE SKIRT TOO BULKY, AND IT POOFED OUT ON THE UPPER SIDES!

ADDED THE SHORT SOX TO BRING THE EYE DOWN, AS THE SKIRT IS A BIT SHORT. I LOVE THE NEW TERM FOR MINI'S I'VE HEARD ALL OVER THE BLOG-O-SPHERE: "CROTCH-SCRAPERS"! (I heard it the first time on What I  Wore Today, a faboo blog). BEING A WOMAN OF SOME YEARS, I AM CAUTIOUS ABOUT HOW I WEAR MINI'S. I FIGURE IF I FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THEM, WHO CARES?

MINI YES, OR MINI NO?

MINI YES! AND SWEATER UNTUCKED!
