Most days I can put an outfit together fairly quickly, but once in a while the process takes much longer than it should. You know those days when you pull out piece after piece and nothing seems to go together - nothing is occasion or weather appropriate, or it's just plain wrinkled (and some days you just really don't feel like pulling that darn steamer out). It's on days like this when I usually end up doing a simple trick - I choose a skirt and a top  in the same or very similar shade. Add a belt to tie the two together and you end up with what looks like a new dress.

I happened to find this skirt at Goodwill, and what a great find it was! It's made out of jersey (Yay! No ironing!) and has a slight sheen and texture, which gives a piece a bit more of a luxurious feel. It's so comfy and versatile, and can be easily transitioned into fall. It's also a great option for traveling.  

Gingham

Happy Monday! I hope you're all enjoying a long Memorial Day weekend. 

For today's look I'm wearing my trusty high-waisted jeans, a comfy gingham shirt and my oldie but goodie trench. Business on the outside, country on the inside, or as Mr. C called it "country business". He said I look like I'm ready to go line dancing after a meeting. Oh, that man! Cracks me up all the time.
