Back to work...and no short week this week. Bummer city. I decided to combat my blues with a bright ensemble. I busted out one of my favorite summer maxi dresses and decided to make it work for today's 40 degree weather. It was easy enough - all I did was throw a goldenrod sweater on top, added a scarf and some boots (so my tootsies didn't freeze) and voila! A fun, colorful winter outfit.
I had to run into the grocery store after work to get a few things and three different men, all different ages mind you told me they liked my "skirt." I put skirt in quotations because A. this isn't really a skirt (I wasn't about to explain that to them) B. I am never really sure it's my clothes they like or if they are hitting on me - most likely the latter. Oh well, a compliment is a compliment and I'll take it.
Here is how you can get a similar look.

How do you like this look?
You're so cute. Seriously. So. Cute. And I love the goldenrod on you. Is there a color you DON'T look good in?

I love this outfit! I've been yearning to wear some summery pieces the past week (I think it's the slightly "warmer" weather) I love what you did and I say take the compliments, although, to be honest, random compliments from men still make me uncomfortable!
ReplyDeleteBring out the bold colours in winter!
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is indeed very pretty, however, I am certain the three men were enchanted by your delightful smile;-)
Lovely outfit, you look so colourful and totally ready to embrace 2012.

such a beautiful skirt
ReplyDeleteahh so cute!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE colorful outfits!!!This one is very beautiful. I like the fact that you wear summer skirt in winter. Very nice look.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week... even if it's no short :-)
So pretty. I have a maxi skirt (mine is actually skirt) with similar colors, so I might just have to copy this. ;-)
ReplyDeleteloved d blouse... Very colorful & lively : )
ReplyDeleteI love the floral dress/skirt. Ive been on a floral binge lately but haven't bought anything yet (looking for a floral button down and dress). This outfit takes advantage of the best about the dress - you look lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove your bright ensemble! This is a great way of getting more mileage out of your maxi dress, which some people only reserve for warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...love all of the pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is a really lovely color on you! Don't you just love when men try to comment on outfits? They're so clueless!
ReplyDeleteWhat a vibrant way to start a Monday. There are so many pretty colours on your skirt, there are probably many things you can wear it with. the scarf is a lovely addition!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am a total, utter fan of maxis--whether they be dresses or skirts! Great way to mix it up during the colder months.

Love it! And I like that peacock "skirt" also :) Can I hit on you? I'm not creepy, I swear! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is so fabulous! It'll be perfect in spring & summer, but I love how you've layered & styled it here as well.

LOVE this colorful skirt. And the top. Frankly the whole outfit is fantabulous!
ReplyDeleteSome guy walked up to me in Best Buy today and asked me if I wanted to switch hats with him. He was totally cray-cray.
Love a colorful look during the winter months!

That goldenrod/mustard yellow is one of my absolute favorite colors right now. I love the idea of wearing a maxi in the winter. Take that funky forty degree weather!

I love this look, you did a great job winterizing your maxi dress. I am horrible at restyling dresses so I am definitely going to challenge myself to try something new.
ReplyDeleteYou sure know how to put patterns and colors together. :)

I like that golden yellow sweater. Seriously gives you a nice glow!

You KNOW they are hitting on you girl... men are men and two things are always true about them...

I love it! People complain about orange & yellow and I don't know why, because everyone truly looks good in it. That goldenrod looks awesome on you. Love the scarf color and dress print.
