banana republic paper bag skirt {thrifted} banana republic tiona heels {thrifted}
another entirely thrifted outfit, i love it. and total cost of this outfit was $10.47, is that crazy or what! thank you, goodwill. i really liked the idea of this skirt when i found it at the GW but wasn't sure what to pair with it since it's a paper bag style skirt. tuck or not to tuck, that was the question. then i decided that for as much as i eschew trends & fashion rules, i just needed to wear it already {it's been hanging in my closet since august}. i love the dark gray against the magenta and the nice matchyness factor with those great BR heels i can't stop yapping about {they were $1.49!}. but midway through the day i was questioning again the tuck factor and decided to take a picture of both options when i got home when i got home... and when i put the two pictures side by side i see such a huge difference. don't you? the picture on the left looks put together & professional but still a little bit fun. the picture on the right seems a little sloppy and missing something. can you guess what way i looked the entire day? the picture on the right. i'm glad that i have this hobby & format to help me take an honest look at how i appear & how i feel... and maybe do something a little bit different the next time... next time i will definitely tuck!
