Outfit Post! {and Twitter}

Black Skirt Tan Blouse


Black Skirt ~ Tan Blouse ~Bun


Black Skirt ~ Tan Blouse 3


Black Skirt ~ Tan Blouse 4

There are a few 'firsts' here today! This is the first blouse I thrifted and I think its fabulous. Usually, I tie a shirt like this traditionally in the back only, but it does not work so well with this blouse. So, I start at the front and wrap around the back. This skirt is my moms, but since I have been playing dress-up in her closet, since I was a little girl, long before I could put full sentences together, she most likely has no idea I have been "borrowing" it {until now...thanks mom!}. My tank top is from H&M, tights and hoops are from Target, and shoes are Calvin Klein.

I am quite sure that if I give myself one more reason to avoid the real world (and to procrastinate away the things I should be doing) I might just fail out of life. Hee hee.
