Skirt: JCrew, Shirt: Old Navy, Shoes: Cousin Couture, Necklace: Ann Taylor
Have you ever been drawn to a piece of clothing? I saw this skirt in the JCrew window and the universe pulled me inside. And then the price tag took me right back out. But then, the promise of wearing it everyday for the rest of my entire life and passing it down to my childrens' wives, and their children, etc. etc, pulled me right back in.
I am a firm believer that women should be in charge of their own presents; birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, every holiday. I no longer leave it up to Noel to surprise me with a gift. I know exactly what I want, and it works out for both of us when I tell him. This skirt was my Valentine's Day present. I love it, hon!! You did such a great job!

I think we would get along so well (aside from the fact that we have the cutest boys in the world), Kev no longer picks out my gifts either. I never shop for myself anymore, so holidays are the perfect excuse to spend a little. I looove this skirt!
I am SO glad that I'm not the only woman who feels like I should be in charge of my gifts!! For Mother's Day...I gave myself a shopping spree :) It was the best!
The skirt is cute...absolutely love it!
And then the price tag took me right back out..
You are just funny, just funny.
Love that skirt! And Virginia Ann will look so cute in it when she marries Charlie :)

I love polka dots, too. But I like to be surprised . . . with something I would choose, which is asking a lot. :)
I am definitely in charge of my gifts. I'll post wishlists on my blog around Christmas, birthday and anniversary time. So, I don't directly tell the boyfriend what to get me...he just knows where to look. That skirt was a fantastic gift.

You look fabulous!! That skirt is great - I'd have been drawn to it as well!
You are so cute! It's just a shame you have lost your mind and leave your car door open in public places. :)
Such a happy outfit!!!
yes! i understand why you were drawn to this skirt. it's beautiful on you and a great print.
i'm not good with surprise gifts either - my husband usually tries to sneakily hide that he bought me what he wanted.
anyhow, i also LOVE those booties. they are perfect in every way.
Thanks for your sweet comment on my stripes and orange post. :) I adore the polka dot skirt and those shoes!!! We should definitely be picking out our own gifts...who knows what we would receive if not! So glad to be following your blog!
Super cute skirt. You look beautiful.
I love polka dots! But more like the $3 kind at Rue 21. J Crew is something I will never understand. Maybe when I'm skinny and rich I'll join the J Crew Lovers club. Probably not though-- I don't think they'd like me very much. ;)
Okay but I really do covet your skirt. That's all.
That polka dot skirt looks SO cute on you, and love how you paired it with the booties! Such a great outfit :)
