Weekend Wear: Skater Skirt

| Shirt – Old Navy | Skirt – H&M | Sandals – Target | Bag – Just Fab | I am always apprehensive about showing a lot of leg.  This wasn’t always the case but as I’ve gotten older it’s just something that I am consistently aware of when I am buy clothes and putting together outfits.  I guess I didn’t realize that I had become very predictable and calculated in the way I dressed.  So I decided to step way outside my comfort zone and buy this skirt and a few other goodies you guys will see later if I am ever brave enough to wear them in public.  This skirt really isn’t that short but when you are pear-shaped short skirts can be too much of a hassle.  Of course I couldn’t venture too far away from my lady-like style which is why I decided to wear a…

My shoes were thirty-nine dollars and my purse was a gift.  Don’t get me wrong I love…
