the circle skirt gives off fun vibes. and really, i just want to twirl in it. i chose to pair this pleated circle skirt with a long loose fitting sweater. i added a cobalt blue scarf for a splash of color and a pair of blue statement earrings to tie the whole look together. outfits that are mainly black or gray can always be brightened with some color using accessories such as scarves, necklaces, earrings, and tights! or... (insert drum roll) lipstick!

also, i can't for the life of me understand why hair is always so perfect when one leaves the salon? i mean, am i the only one who feels that way?! what the heck do they do to your hair that makes it PERFECT? it's like you don't want to wash the magical-ness out? and feel that you should do something/anything that day instead of go home and lounge?! the freshly styled haircut needs to be seen ladies. so... i encourage you to get haircuts in the morning and flaunt the hair. yep. i said it. here i chopped off some hair and made sure to take some bloggin' pictures afterwards! now, if you ask me, that's some strategic planning. yea yea!!
