There's one rose sweeter than any that grows.

I'm watching Bye Bye Birdie with....Birdie....so obviously I would borrow a title from the song "Rosie".

Just another day hanging out with my family. I am perpetually overdressed! I'm sure most of you are too! I have been wearing these booties a lot, which is surprising considering the heel. I didn't even know this skirt had flowers on it until I looked at the photos. I kept calling it "the wild skirt". Also, I normally hate bright tights (on me) but I liked the little extra pop they gave this day. Well, that's all the absolutely fascinating insight into my outfit have for you today. :)










Wearing:
Skirt: Vintage in store
Booties: Anthro
Coat: Erin Fetherston for Target years ago
Tank: H&M
Bag: Dean
Tights: H&M

Alright, back to work today! Hopefully the sun comes out so I can take product pics. I've got some more amazing dresses this week.

Have a great Monday, everyone. The work week is going to fly by!

    That's a beautiful "wild skirt", Coury! It's a gorgeous hue. You pull off the bright tights very well, by toning it down with those darling lace up boots.

    Thank you so much for your comment on my blog! :)

    Your wild skirt is great, especially that the lining is pink too! And I can understand your love for these booties...

    Yep, it happens a lot that my friends and even random people on the street comment on me being overdressed. I can't imagine doing otherwise, really, and I'm not doing it to stand out either! Wish everyone else dressed more colourful... :)

    The print on your skirt is beyond beautiful. And this might sound random, but your face is so reminiscent of a young Julia Roberts x x
