Closet Remix: Floral and Lace

[Floral top: J.Crew factory store (last seen here); Brown Lace Dress: Modcloth (old, another similar one here); Scarf: Buffalo Exchange; Shoes: Ruche; Jewelry: Flea market; Belt: Topshop]

I have about three skirts that actually look good on me, so the recent realization that you can turn dresses into skirts by layering shirts over them has been a revelation. It's been an awesome fix for someone like myself, whose long-legs-to-short-torso proportions make skirt-wearing a challenge!

This particular outfit gave me the opportunity to bring back the brown lace dress I purchased on Modcloth two summers ago for a dear friend's wedding. I think the cocoa color tones down the punchy floral print.

This scenic photo shoot took place at the Tufts campus, just a few minutes walk from our house. We were happy to discover these little nooks for a fun change of scenery.

  2. Erin - LOVE this outfit (and your style)! That blouse is so pretty, and looks great with the lacy skirt. And I live right near Tufts as well - in Davis. So fun to meet a fellow Boston blogger :)

  8. I don't believe that you only have three skirts that suit you - that can't be possible! At any rate, I love this nude lace number on you, especially paired with that bright floral top! Stunning!
