Sailor Skirt!
Last Christmas, my best friend was kind enough to gift me with a certificate for ModCloth. I was definitely excited about that gift (in my quiet, internal way)! However, as you have probably figured out by now, I didn't spend it right away. I looked at the website now and then, but nothing in the appropriate price range really struck me...that is, until a month or so ago.
As you have probably also figured out, I have a fondness for nautical things that occasionally manifests itself here. Until recently, I also had a desire to get a full skirt of a neutral color and appropriate length. Lo and behold, this spring Modcloth is offering the Vivacious Venture skirt, which is sailor-style, neutrally colored, and knee-length. Finally, I was ready to use my gift certificate.
For my cute new skirt's first outing I paired it with a brown and pink striped sweater that I bought probably a couple of months ago. With my new brown flats on (it was high time to replace the others!) the colors tied in well together. A simple gold cross necklace and a braided updo were all I needed to complete the outfit.
My only complaint about the new skirt is that the size small ended up being a little bigger in the waist than I was hoping. My main fear was that it would be too tight, it's high-waisted, so at least my fears were allayed.

Have you ever bought anything from ModCloth?
Do you spend gift cards right away or let them sit in your room/wallet/purse for a long time?
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Nice outfit! I think I like the second photo best. Although I don't spend gift cards *right* away, I do usually tend to spend them a little more quickly than I probably should. Glad you finally found something that was just what you wanted!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bethany! :) Heh, well sometimes that can be a good thing. I tend to let them sit a little too long. O.o

Yay! The skirt! ^_^ I've been looking forward to seeing pictures :) So glad you got something you wanted AND needed! It looks cute on you :)
ReplyDeleteYay! :) Thank you. And thanks for the gift card! ;D
DeleteYou're welcome! Glad it came in handy ^_^
DeleteLove the skirt! I like the nautical styles too. :) I can't say that I spend gift cards quickly. I am always afraid of buying something and then regretting it later when something better comes available. I have been known to wait several months before spending one.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) Yes, nautical is so fun!
DeleteHeh-heh, then you're probably something like me. Though I'm afraid I most of the time the procrastination is from forgetfulness...
Love the skirt! It definitely looks very sailor-ly:P You look great!! I've visited the ModCloth site and I loved the stuff they have there but it seems like everything is overly pricey.. Which is a shame since it's SO hard to find good skirts for a good price..
ReplyDeleteAnd the gift cards.. they usually stay in my wallet for like EVERS.. haha no but seriously..
Thank you so much Mariya! Yes, sadly, ModCloth is quite pricy. :\
DeleteHaha! :) And then you forget how much is on them unless the last cashier wrote it on with a sharpie? Yep. ;)
Oh love the sailor skirt! I love sailor clothing! :) I haven't shopped at Modcloth before. And usually I usually have my gift cards sitting in my purse (wallet - the English call it that) and then am sad (after I forget about it) when it exspires! :p
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosalyn! I'm glad to find another gal with a fondness of sailor style. ;)
DeleteHeh-heh, oops!
Paige, I absolutely LOVE that skirt! It is so beautiful on you. I'm a big fan of ModCloth and recently bought a pair of vintage black heels there. I'm in a Shakespeare in the Park production set in the 1920s and I needed a vintage pair of shoes. Lo and behold, there were a black pair on clearance on ModCloth! I just got them in the mail this last week and they fit perfectly. <3
ReplyDeleteI also have to say that you did a lovely job photographing this outfit. The scenery is so cheery and compliments your skirt perfectly. And you, as always, are beautiful.
God bless!

Thank you muchly Danielle! :D Ooh, how fun to find that pair of shoes for your play! Modcloth has a lot of cute things for sure.
DeleteThank you. :) My mom photographs me, so a lot of credit goes to her! The scenery is actually near a marina, so it fits perfectly with the sailor skirt!
I love your new skirt! It looks great on you! Your hairstyle is beautiful as well! I think it suits the nautical/kind of vintage theme of the whole outfit.
ReplyDeleteI'm in between with gift cards. I usually partially spend them pretty quickly and then they sit in my wallet for a long time with just a few dollars on them.
Thanks so much Jill! :) I found a new hairstyle book at the library and have been having a lot of fun with it.
DeleteHee-hee, yes that happens too. :)
This is so beautiful! and SO lovely! :D Mum said that this style suits you and is like my style too! HI 5!
ReplyDeleteI now have wifi YAY so I'm so very sorry I have not emailed or been around much! xD
Thank you! :D *high five back atcha*
DeleteOh, okay! Good to see you back.
