The Unlikely Purchase

I'm not entirely sure what prompted me to purchase this skirt.  It is completely out of my box!  The length alone typically doesn't compliment my height, the material was questionable at first touch but the gorgeous bright color caught my attention.  I was at a local vintage shop and thought... "aaw what the heck, take your own advice and just try it!!!" I think it's pretty obvious where the story ends.  I mean, what else could I possibly wear while strolling on a deserted train track? 
I have to say... pairing this lovely vintage skirt with a basic white T and riding boots gives it a bohemian feel.  Then the necklace and leopard print belt keeps it modern and wearable.  
I absolutely love mixing old and new!!!


Wearing

I am also a fan of mixing old and new--and I disagree with you, I think this length of skirt looks great on you! The color is so pretty. You look adorable!
