Hellebore Round 2

I've had a very lazy Sunday. Most of the day has been spent at home, getting laundry done, taking the dogs on walks, camera shopping (online), and lounging around. I have also been playing around on Pinterest. I first heard about it from Carrie of My Inner Fashionista (here is her post). This is the description from their website: "Think of it as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can post collections of things you love, and "follow" collections created by people with great taste". It's really cool (and addictive)! I have discovered some beautiful/inspirational/interesting things (like this project, which I am hoping to try: Swatch Portraits). You can click on the pinterest tag on my sidebar to see my boards.

I wore this outfit earlier in the week. I am really loving the Hellebore sweater skirt. I first wore it with blue/purple here. While I love it with those colors, I think pairing it with black makes it more work appropriate (at my office at least), and I was excited to wear the J. Crew zip up cardigan that I picked up at the clearance center!

Now, I'm off to a restorative yoga class to complete my lazy day:)


Outfit details:
Cami: Banana Republic
Cardigan: J. Crew
Skirt: Anthropologie Hellebore Sweater Skirt
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Indigo by Clarks Jungle Java Pump
(I unfortunately had to switch into my Dansko clogs for work because of my foot injury, but once it's healed, I will be wearing these shoes all of the time! They are extremely comfortable.)

  5. Lisa - Thanks! The Hellebore is a great skirt. I've been really happy with it. Don't be too impressed, the class I went to was very gentle/mild. It did not require much physical effort at all:)

  8. Awesome look Kristin. I fell in love with this skirt when I saw it on a SA. I couldn't wait for the sale. I Went back the next day and I'm glad I did. Mine was the last one and I do not regret buying it at full price. I love they way you put it together. I've only worn one time. Bad right? You look really great!

  9. Great shoes! How are they comfort-wise? I've been looking for something similar, but I walk quite a bit on my daily commute so I want a pair that will be comfortable!!!

  10. Thanks, Gabby! You should wear it again soon, before spring gets here:)

    Kelly - They are super comfortable. This is the only pair of Indigo by Clarks I have, but I've heard that all of their shoes are extremely comfortable. I can wear these all day long with no aches or pains.

  11. You remind me that I have the same cardigan and I really need to wear it more often - but I never know what to pair it with as it's cold now and the arms are kind of tight for me!

    I love love that sweater skirt on you! How is the fabric wearing? I am in love with sweater skirts but I've never purchased any because I am afraid of the dreaded butt pilling! But I guess if I've never owned one, it could all just be in my head, haha!

  12. Lisa - Thanks! So far, the fabric is holding up well. I have only worn it 3 times, but I haven't had any issues/problems at all:)

  14. Oh I love how you styled this skirt! I saw it in the store and really liked it but it just did not work on me. It looks beautiful on you!
