Spill Kisses Like a Fountain
While sorting through clothes with my mom the other day I found one of her old vintage skirts. She was going to give it away but I couldn't bear to pack it up since the fabric was so gorgeous. Plus, it's a way for me to always remember my mom when I'm not living at home. I decided to wear it as a dress instead of a maxi skirt since I'm still iffy about maxi lengths with my height.

Well I'm off to go on an early morning shopping date with my madre. She wants to leave early while I just want to lounge around. I'm on the hunt for business suits that don't make me look like I'm playing dress up. Wish me luck! :)

The whole outfit is super cute. I especially love the wedges!

Ugh, gorgeous! I know what you mean though, I did the same last summer with a maxi skirt I found! I'm still on the hunt for a decent maxi skirt that I can pull off... ish... right?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Check out Banana Republic's petite line for suits. Opt for a skirt suit too, they look much more pull-offable for our height :)
That skirt as a dress is so romantic. My parents were world travelers, never able to hang on to very much, and nothing that my mom had when she was my age is still in her possession now, which is sad for me because I am the same size now as she was then. I imagine wearing something your mother wore is quite special.
ReplyDeleteone of your best outfits...

Gap and Banana Republic are having pretty decent sales right now! I wish you the best of luck in your hunt for suits hehe<3 Love this skirt/dress! You are so right the fabric and pattern are really delightful :) You are gorgeous my dear!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is gorgeous, and I love how you wore it! The contrast between the skirt and your shirt and shoes! Haha I love free clothes from my mom's closet too! Good luck on hunting for a suit!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is absolutely gorgeous. Keep it, as it's a true vintage treasure!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your (early; eeep!) shopping adventure, Jen! I absolutely adore that skirt-turned-dress. It's got such a lovely pattern, and it's really nice that you can think of your mom via your clothes. Little memories like that are always fun! Oh, and I;m totally loving those shoes!
ReplyDeleteUsually silently lurk your blog, but had to comment as you look AMAZING. I loveeee this look. So sophisticated. I always pull maxi skirts up to dresses! I'm too short :)

Ugh, this photoshoot is so pretty. I never would have thought to pair that button-down and the dress/skirt together but they look so nice.
