Spots and Stripes

I'll get to this outfit in a mo, but I am still thinking about the salad I had last night (and need to share): feta, mint, sauteed strips of zucchini, tomato. Can you say yum? Now that our areogarden is back up and running, I see variations of this popping up in dinners this week.Perhaps with some basil added in. Is your stomach rumbling yet? 
*  maroon and grey striped tee-- C+C * grey grandpa cari-- H&M * polka dotted pencil skirt-- Corelynn Calter * brown tights-- Hue * brown boots-- Studio Polini * gold studded belt-- ebay * floral earrings-- H&M * cream knit hat-- H&M *
I love this outfit, minus the boots, which seem a little heavy for the light fun of the rest. I'm sticking to my new pencil skirt resolution-- this was purchased from Century 21 for $25. It could use a bit of taking in at the sides, but the length is an added bonus. 

On another note- I've been getting loads of formspring questions lately about other aspects of life than style-- religion, family, hobbies, my interest in academia. Would you like regular posts about any of these issues? I imagined this originally as a daily style blog, but am totally open to broadening the scope slightly to include themes of interest (apologies to my little sister, who gets angry when I post anything but what I'm wearing that day.)

I really like that skirt. I like reading posts about topics other than fashion, so go for it!

Oh, Century 21. Amazing deals (like that skirt), but it makes me hate shopping. Huge department stores overwhelm me and I made the mistake of going to Century 21 a week before Christmas. Never again!

I'm nosy so yes I love personal stuff!

I love the personal stuff! I've been asking you loads of way-too-personal questions on formspring, sorry! But it's great to learn about the gal behind the cute outfits.

No apologies necessary, I'm more than happy to answer!

Thanks, Mandy! I just posted a recipe to show that it occasionally functions as more than just a photo backdrop.
