What I Wore - Mixing Prints

mustard floral circle skirt made by me/ navy blue & tan stripe tank made by me/ burgundy cardigan paul harris design {hand-me-down}/ belt forever 21/ grey tights j.c.penny/ brown t-strap heels naturalizers {a couple years ago}/ gold leaf earrings forever 21/ gold necklace knotted forever 21/ gold owl ring kohl's/ brown structured purse relic by fosssil    

My circle skirt is finished and I love it. I like that I took my time in making the skirt. For the record it only took 3 1/4 days to sew (and those aren't full days), but for me, that is a long time just to sew a skirt. I like it when skirts only take like half a day. That is more up my speed. Though, with me taking longer in sewing my skirt I was able to hand sew the hem in, iron ever seam, and just take my time in general. Who knows, I might do it again as I like the results that taking your time does.

One thing is for sure. The skirt looks nice and I keep forgetting that I made it. {I'm not trying to be proud, or anything. I truly have been forgetting. Honest.} I keep thinking that I bought it at like Anthropologie. Which is a good thing right?

Want to know a secret? I wore this same outfit on Sunday to church. Can you tell I really like this outfit? Originally I was going to wear an Anthropologie knit top that I bought with my birthday gift from Anthro in LA. But the strangest thing happened to it. Part of the knit lost its elasticity, so I'll need to refashion it a bit so I can wear it again (Hmm, I should do a post about the shirt sometime. Maybe one of you could give me some advice on how to fix it.). But I wasn't too worried as I bought some knit fabric in LA that was very close to my Anthro top that I bought {on the same trip}. So I just whipped up a tank  on Saturday night for me to wear on Sunday.


My Forever 21 Haul



Other news, my package from Forever21.com arrived early today. It was schedule to arrive on Friday, then Wednesday. But when I went to get the mail today, there was my package in the mailbox. What a wonderful surprise! Everything I bought is in the above polyvore set. I can't wait to wear everything!

p.s.
