Joining the Bandwagon

   Good ev'nin' ladies! I'm glad to be with you for another Saturday. :) Today I will be sharing an outfit post featuring an item that I've been wanting to acquire for some time. That's right - it's a jersey maxi skirt! They've been "in" for a while now and are probably on their way "out"... Oh well, perhaps it's better than way. ;)

   Earlier this week I went on a shopping expedition at the mall with my mom. The results were that I bought this fun striped skirt and a graphic tee (which you may be seeing soon!). I was hoping to change up my look a bit, and both of the pieces are more trendy than what I normally buy in thrift and consignment stores. Now and then I enjoy buying brand new things that aren't already worn-in. It's also fun to join in on the trends now and then.

  So, I'm going to honest with you and say that my skirt needed to be hemmed several inches before I could wear it! A friend surged it for me this afternoon, so this outfit wasn't even completely styled before 5 pm....which needed to get done because I had nothing else to blog about! That's the blogger life, folks. ;)

   I decided to pair my striped skirt with a pale blue tee that matches the color of the top stripes in the skirt. I added my bow-shaped belt, which has proven helpful in covering the waistband the t-shirt is tucked into. A white ruffled cardigan adds a little warmth on this April evening. Lastly, my mom suggested shoeing myself in these red wedges, since red and navy go well together. Now my outfit is complete!

If you're mainly a thrift store shopper, do you ever decide to buy brand new clothes? 

Do you buy new clothes at a mall, a separate clothing store, a department store, or online?

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,

Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning;

Great is Your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23
