Faux Leather Pencil Skirt & Sweatshirt: Miss Evil Kitty

04.29.2015

Miss Evil Kitty…how cool of a name is that? It sounds like Hello Kitty’s archenemy. Although that sounds like a good idea, because c’mon seriously, Hello Kitty is so ridiculous she should have an archenemy, that is not what I’m talking about. It’s actually the name of a cute little online boutique that recently sent me some beautiful hair pins to try out. All three pins were flowers of varying colors, so of course that made me happy. When I put this outfit together the other day, I decided the pink rose bobby pin was perfect to go with it.

Ya know what else is perfect? A sweatshirt with pockets. Not your standard kangaroo pocket in the front; no sir. I’m talking pockets on the sides. For whatever reason I’m a big fan of always having my hands shoved in pockets so this is like my dream sweatshirt. See, you guys thought the “hand in pocket pose” was my go to blogger babe pose. Nope, that’s pretty much how I roll all day long. As per my usual modus operandi, I paired it with my faux leather pencil skirt because most people in their right mind wouldn’t do that. So what’s your take on pockets? Love ’em or hate ’em?

Faux Leather Pencil Skirt, Plaid Sweatshirt & Black Pumps: Stealth Professional

02.13.2015

At first glance you might be thinking, “Um, Debbie, what are you doing dressing all professional-like for work?” Never fear my friends, it’s not as it first appears. I called this outfit “stealth professional” on Instagram the other day because at first glance it appears that way, but upon closer inspection, maybe not. The pencil skirt is faux leather. And the plaid top is a sweatshirt. See, no need to worry. I haven’t been taken over by an alien being who is controlling my mind and forcing me to dress like a grown up with a job. Ain’t no mind control gonna make that happen. I like to have fun with my clothes and that includes my work wear. I never ever dress provocatively or in poor taste for work, but what most people consider professional is just too restrictive for me. Trust me, I can throw together a smokin’ professional look just as well as anyone (Exhibit A), but even then, I have to throw in something to make it unique and maybe a bit rebellious. If I don’t, it’s just not me. And that, in my opinion, is what personal style is all about. It tells the world a little something about who you are without speaking a word.

My lovely friend Alice at Happiness At Midlife posted a link to this outrageously cool faux leather pencil skirt from Ann Taylor on her Facebook page and the rest is history. I scored it for under $35 and I’ve gotta say, it’s pretty great. It looks and feels like the real deal, and it’s so comfortable. The skirt I originally ordered was too large and the return process was super easy and quick. I’m so happy I found it…thanks Alice! I haven’t given the plaid sweatshirt a spin for awhile so I decided it was time. I layered the red chiffon blouse underneath for the visual interest it provided and since I just wasn’t feeling boots that day I went with the black pumps. No, I wasn’t running around in all of this snow and ice in pumps…my trusty Bearpaws were waiting patiently in the car.
