Wearing skirts use to be a hard thing for me, it’s so much more difficult than throwing on a dress. Matching the flow of the skirt with a shirt that doesn’t throw the whole thing off & then the shoes. Oh the shoes always drove me crazy. Until one day I just stopped over thinking it & got dressed.

It’s so funny how we will over think things & then in turn over complicate things. I feel like this can be a pattern sometimes & honestly I just need to chill out. Because things can’t be perfect, there is no such thing as an authentic & true humanly perfect. What I see as perfect, the next person will see as a flawed attempt. And so today, I will try not to get things perfect. I’ll just give it my best. I’ll show myself some grace, like I would anyone else.

So back to clothes & off my little morning revelations. Although I might need to give the topic of giving yourself a bit of slack a whole blog post of its own sometime.

Well after I just decided to put on a skirt & not care as much…it worked out. Most of the time when you see me on my instagram in a “skirt”, it’s actually a dress I’ve paired with a top….you know just like you would do with a skirt…yeah I’m just got to smack myself on the forehead. Soooo people who don’t know how to layer dresses…just think of it as a skirt with a top 😉

  1. What a great look! I love the color of your skirt and it really pops against the black and white. So pretty.

  2. Hi Pam. I stumbled upon your blog via Threads for Thomas link up and I was drawn to the color of your skirt. I love how you paired it up with the gingham top, never though to style my yellow mustard pants with that. Great idea and one I will be borrowing in the near future.

  3. That’s a super cute outfit! I love the open toed booties! I would never put those two pieces of clothing together but they really go well together and give a fun, comfortable look!

  4. Love the skirt. Very vibrant. It matches your skin tone. To top it off, the red shade of lipstick makes it a perfect look.

  5. I love the outfit – especially the yellow skirt. You look really pretty. xx

  6. Popping in from the Her Heartland Soul linkup… I love the whole entire outfit. Sometimes I can’t figure out how to wear my booties. That skirt is the perfect length for them, and I love the color! (And your lipstick color!)

  7. Dresses are easier to style but skirts are cool too! Separates allow you to create even more outfits by mixing and matching. I love your skirt and your plaid top. Your boots look great with this look.

  8. Love the mustard skirt! A great fall staple.
