every once in a while i'll revisit blogs whose names i remember that i may have stopped following for whatever reason, usually if i find i am not as inspired by or connected with that blogger's style anymore.  i recently revisited what i wore and really enjoyed scrolling though the first grew pages of her blog, especially when i spotted this outfit.  i must have stared at it for several minutes (creepy?).  i just love the floral skirt, the denim jacket, the simple tee underneath.  perfect!

i had that look in mind as i got dressed today as i knew i wanted to wear this floral skirt again, but i didn't really think it through as i should have worn a lighter weight tee underneath instead of the button-down whose sleeves i could have pushed up easier, but i wasn't certain i'd keep the jacket on all day as i get so overheated at my workplace.  i still like the look of the denim jacket worn as a layering piece with a skirt and definitely see myself trying another variation of this look sometime without the belt or necklace.

with the weather getting warmer i've been able to keep my winter coats in the closet.  i still want a light layer in the morning though so instead i've been reaching for my denim jacket.  i've had this one from old navy since 2004!  the pants and blouse felt a little plain on their own even with the necklace so i ended up keeping the jacket on most of the day.  i keep seeing so many cute looks with bloggers wearing a dress and denim jacket so i think that's a look i'll need to try next.
