If you follow me on Instagram,
you know that for the past few days, I've been on a
magic carpet ride.
That's right folks -
a DIY rug skirt.
ok. Possibly (read: definitely) not.
Though that would be even more fantastic than the current state of affairs.
Which actually means a lot - considering that the current state of affairs is pretty damn fantastic.
I in no way jest when I say that I initially believed that this skirt was a bathroom rug.
Nestled cozily in between a stack of candles and rustic notebooks on an old wooden desk, how was I to know otherwise?
Only after some much-needed fabric fondling did I realize my mistake.
And oh,
What a glorious little lightbulb began to glow.
The rising action to this story of shag consists of an incredibly awkward moment;
that 20 seconds or so after which I initially mentioned to my colleagues that I may or may not be obsessively in love with the strange little skirt in the corner.
Everyone got real quiet, and more
than a couple painfully unconvincing smiles were all-too-quickly faked.
Truth be told, I didn’t expect
this reaction at all.
In fact, for all the self-depreciating quips that I make, I never
really feel inside that the decisions I make when dressing are actually weird. They feel
so natural, that only when I’m checked by the awkward responses of others, do I
realize that I've "erred".
And every time I’m forced to ask
myself: Do I care?
skirt: Anthropologie, tee: Everlane (seriously, discovered this through another blog and now I'm in love.), boots: Lucky Brand, jacket: from Rome, necklace: UO (rich person version) |
In Summation: you’ll be happy to hear that the “no”
is slowly drowning out the “yes”.
Cheers.
You can definitely pull it off! Cheers to you for the good find.

i'm glad you didn't let them affect your decision. this skirt actually has a really neat high fashion appeal to it - it looks like a skirt that was in a vogue or something magazine recently - it was like an equestrian style shoot. the texture is really pretty and you styled it so well. love it.
