Twirling in the Snow



Sweater: Aritzia
Skirt: ModCloth
Tights: Jacob
Boots: Zara
Coat: RW&Co



I took some advice that I read on Kendi's blog and made a list of what I want to add to my wardrobe and what I need to add to my wardrobe.

Turns out I really don't need anything other than to stop shopping and save money so I ended up feeling like a huge brat with a huge list of wants.

In order to make myself feel better I moved one item onto my need list and that item was skirts. I really don't have very many skirts so it seemed like a very practical item to add to my list.

It was right after that, while browsing the modcloth site, that I saw this skirt. Not only was it love at first sight but it was also a skirt, which I needed to buy. Can't argue with that logic!

Yesterday was a snow day and the perfect day to twirl around in my new skirt. Skirt twirling is extra fun in a fresh blanket of snow.

  3. That skirt is adorable. I love how cutesy it is but also very feminine and soft. I love everything at modcloth, I try not to go on there too often.

  15. Oh, what a pretty skirt. You look like a ballerina. And the blue with it is fantastic. It looks like the black and blue of the coat was MADE for this outfit!

  25. This skirt is so lovely. The bow at the front is a detailed that I have never seen on a skirt. I am sure this will be a treasured piece for years to come. I like how you put the whole ensemble together.
