Corilynn Striped Skirt

Tee: Uniqlo; Skirt: c/o Corilynn; Shoes: Seychelles (similar)

Thanks for all of your amazingly sweet comments on my last post. Ya'll are just so supportive. I'm glad to be part of such an encouraging community. So thanks, again. I am so excited to start anew in LA and start my program (in less than a month!). 

One of the most stressful parts about starting anew and moving is buying STUFF. Although Matt and I have been married for about a year and 9 months, we have stealthily evaded the whole process of buying STUFF. (And by stuff, I mean things that make a space liveable - such as, a microwave, a coffee table, a shower curtain, etc, etc.) We did this by first living in a fancy, fully furnished motorhome for a few months and then living in a tiny, fully furnished closet apartment in Japan for a year. Now, we are forced to slowly but surely learn how to navigate the Craigslist, the furniture sections of thrift stores, and of course, Ikea. I feel like I'm a real live grown-up now.

Can we talk about this skirt? It was sent to me by my lovely sponsor, Corilynn. I think we all know that I have a weakness for high-waisted, full skirts. And then this one came into my life. It is just perfection, and I can't wait to mix and match it with patterned tops and button-ups. I love a skirt you can dress up and down.  I paired it with this weird kitty tee because (1) I wanted to add a bit of quirkiness to the sophisticated skirt and (2) It is over 100 degrees out, and button-ups just aren't doing it for me. (Which reminds me, I am so excited to move to the land of 75 degree weather soon...)
