When the finishing school skirt first came out, I wasn't very impressed. It wasn't until I actually tried the skirt on, and laid eyes on the gorgeous pleats on the back of the skirt, that I realized how awesome it is. I love the rust color, but the gray was calling my name!
Check out JG's wonderful post about her finishing school skirt here and see how LC styled her's here!

I am soooooo happy that tomorrow is Friday. Have a wonderful day!
YAY for being Friday! I am SOOO glad as well and surprisingly, this week passed by fairly fast.
ReplyDeleteI just love that skirt. The little detail on the back IS the best part. Hehehe.
I love that skirt as well! I eyed it up when it first came out but never took the plunge, and now I'm missing out!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin :) I really like the detail in the back of the skirt. The Jackie compliments it so well. Good Job :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin. TGIF indeed. Love your play of colors. And the back of the skirts is such an unexpected surprise. Hope you have a great weekend! p/s from Cindi's blog I saw that you may be getting a new camera. Are you? If so, I would love to see close up shots of your jewelery someday. I would've love to see the Pessinus Garden necklace up close on you.
ReplyDeleteKristin, I just noticed the quote under your blog title header - "It was the oldest sound in the world. Souls flying away." The Secret Life of Bees.
ReplyDeleteI read that book! And what a lovely read.
Thanks for the shout out! I just discovered your blog through Lisa. : ) Looking forward to reading.
ReplyDeleteCindi - I'm glad the week went by fast for you (I can't really say the same, but that is okay, because it's over now:). I hope your weekend it fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMinnesota Maven - I have lots of pieces that I feel that way about:( I always have to remind myself that there will always be new things that I will love just as much!
Gabby - Thank you!
Lisa - Yes! I am camera shopping:) I am finally ready to get my first SLR camera. I have been doing lots of research/shopping and will hopefully be ready to buy in the next couple of weeks. I am SO EXCITED!!! I will certainly try to include more close up shots (especially of my jewelry) - I'm sure once I get the new camera, it will be much easier. The Secret Life of Bees is my favorite book. I just love it. I have read it numerous times and each time it becomes more special to me. Thanks for noticing:)
LC - Thanks for following!
I love what you did with the finishing skirt! I need all the help I can get with this piece, clearly. The grey looks lovely on you, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, JG! I really loved the post you did last week with your finishing school skirt!
