Today is another depressingly rainy day. With a walking tour planned, I needed to wear waterproof boots and something warm, but still wanted to bring some color into my life which would otherwise be dismal and grey. I'm also going to check out a new exhibit at a neighboring museum at its preview day for museum professionals, so I wanted to look not completely shlumpy (thankfully, museum professionals tend to have a looser definition of "professional dress.") Hence the outfit:
I am wearing:
-grey Forever 21 sweater (with fun owl design at the top)
-rainbow pleated Marc Jacobs skirt
-brown boots, Studio Pollini
-grey fuzzy beret, H&M
-brown tights
I usually wear this skirt only in the summer, since it is a light cotton, but decided to fall it up today with the brown boots and fuzzy sweater.

And despite the awful lighting, maybe you can make out the fun coral lip color in this shot

Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. U really made my day!!! and i'm lovin yours :)
That is one fabulous skirt!! What do you do at the museum?
Love, love, love the skirt. I badly need new skirts -- and yet you know how cheap I am. Recommendations?
Is it weird to say you have fabulous eyebrows? seriously...i'm just sayin. love the spring-y skirt all fall-ed up. cute outfit.
Fell- Thanks! It is definitely a favorite in my closet. I research/write/lead walking tours of the historic neighborhood in which the museum is situated, teach school groups and help craft new museum tours. It is definitely nice to put my history BA to work!
Y- Lohemmann's is my holy grail for all things. Love the 72nd St branch, though the Hewlett one will always be in my heart. Anthro (on sale) and Century are close seconds. I can't remember the last time I paid full-price for anything. I think I am incapable of doing so.
Megan - Thanks for the confidence boost! I think my eyebrows could survive a nuclear attack, but I've learned to appreciate them, and I'm glad someone else does too. Love your blog, btw.
saw this outfit in person and it was fabulous! though i could never wear that sweater..too itchy for me
I love all the colors in the skirt! that is sure to brighten up any rainy day!
