Sundays in our house is "church day" as my boys refer to it. We opt not to play the loud, obnoxious video games to keep the noise and hyper-activity level down (this is my favorite Sunday tradition), we go to church, we come home and spend time together as a family...Sundays are good days. Sunday is also the magic day of the week I will always need a skirt or dress. We dress up for church. It's funny because I don't think I would have a single need for a pencil skirt if we didn't go to church every Sunday. My day job certainly doesn't require them and I'd look a little corporate at after-school pick-up wearing one, so thank you to Sunday for allowing me a reason to wear pencil skirts (and to buy them)!
This week I wore a pencil skirt I was able to score for a great deal a while back. I love the skirt but the color has stumped me a bit. I don't wear a lot of olive green. I've thought about returning this skirt on several occasions but could never go through with it because I just really liked the style and fabric. This week I picked up this pretty little thing that happened to match the skirt perfectly:
And then this look was born:

First day curling my shorter do was a little challenging...I definitely lost some length with that cut. I'm liking it though!
I wanted to say thank you to all those who took the time to check out my blog sale...thanks! I was able to sell about half of what I listed with the rest of the items still available for purchase. Check it out HERE.
Hope you have a great day!
