To the Maxi

Tee and Skirt - Target / Necklace c/o Lovelywholesale.com (also seen here) / Sandals - Payless (old, similar)

I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow I've been more busy this week than when I was gainfully employed.  Between job searching, interviews, wedding stuff (including finally taking our engagement photos!), freelancing, and blogging, I feel like I've barely had time to catch my breath.  I've been so busy planning appropriate interview outfits and engagement photo outfits that my regular outfits kind of fell by the wayside.  Yesterday I was super excited to see Jenn from With Luck Blog rocking her maxi skirt because A) It reminded me that I do, in fact, own several maxi skirts, and B) Maxi skirts are basically the best thing ever.  They are super comfortable but still somehow feel more dressed up than jeans.  I was going to take Jenn's outfit as inspiration, but instead I basically just copied it (sorry Jenn!).  What can I say, imitation is definitely the most sincere form of flattery.

Tulip + Stripes

The cold weather snap over the weekend was a little confusing (the high in Chicago on Saturday was only 66!) but I actually enjoyed the chance to wear long sleeves and this new tulip skirt from Target.  I wore this out to get some barbecue with the boyfriend's parents in the suburbs, which gave me the chance to snap some pics with lots of green in them for once.

Tee - JCrew Factory / Skirt - Target / Shoes - Shoe Mint / Necklace - Michelle Starbuck Designs / Belt - Target (really old) / Bracelet - Michael Kors / Earrings - JCrew Factory

This belt was my favorite back in high school and college, I wore it alllllllmost every day (once I got over wearing white belts with star cutouts/studs every day).  It's a bit too big for me now, but I'm glad I held onto it because it definitely still works tied like this.

While I prefer warm weather during the summer, a cold snap every once and a while is fine by me!
