This skirt is absolutely beautiful and I know
it will be a staple in my wardrobe for years to come. I fell in love with the
longer length, the stripes, and pleating. Gorgeous! What makes me love it even
more is that it’s handmade by an indie designer Corilynn. She has some absolutely
beautiful skirts in her shop, and more on the way! Go check it out and show her
some much-deserved support!

Today is technically my Friday since I worked
Sunday and also because tomorrow is my birthday and I’m taking the day off. I’m
one of those people who hates to
work on their birthday. I just feel like it’s the one day of the year that
should totally be yours. You should celebrate your life by doing something fun,
spontaneous, or even relaxing. Tomorrow is going to be a mixture of all three. The
beach is involved, lunch at my favorite sushi place, a party with friends, and Matthew
has some other surprises planed {he’s taking the day off too!}. I’m so excited!
Have a great day everyone!

I love the length of that skirt! I'm so bummed by all these short hemlines that seemed to have taken over clothing stores. She's already number one in my book with this one!
ReplyDeleteHappy early Birthday! Have so much fun!
Mara, that skirt is pretty fantastic. I love the box pleat detail! I checked out the designers site and I'm smitten with the chevron print. Must.get.it! :) I'm loving how you pair yours with green. I love navy paired with green!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a greta day so far.

I'm totally digging the chevron one she has up as well. Might just go find some striped fabric and make one of these over the weekend. I'm only 5'2" so finding a skirt that hits the right length is impossible to find. DIY for me :) Thanks for the inspiration! Love the pleats too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love navy and green together.
