OOTD: Gold Skirt Remix Part II

Day two of my mini fashion challenge. The highlight of today's outfit (other than the gold skirt) is my headband! I love headbands and for a while I wore them all the time.  I already look way young for my age and one day my friend told me that headbands made me look even younger and I stopped wearing them...until now! Anyways, headbands are awesome because if you're having a bad hair day like I was, you just put it on and it can really cover up your hair troubles when a hat is not an option. Comment if you like headbands! :)

OOTD: Gold Skirt Remix Part I

I am tempted to do the 30x30 challenge that some bloggers are doing in order to push myself to put together new outfits and to rediscover old pieces that have been shoved into the corner of my closet by new conquers. I also need to stop shopping but the sales are too tempting! I almost asked for an intervention but I don't think I'm ready to give up those plastic cards that are really demons in disguise...

So in an attempt to ease myself into the 30x30 (which is ultimately my goal but just waiting for the right time) I decided to try and put together 7 different outfits for each day of the week with a GOLD skirt I have from Ann Taylor LOFT. Though the holiday season is long over and gold is not really a spring color, this piece was chosen because it won the eeny meeny miney mo contest (seriously).

I am open to different suggestions and ideas so lemme know what you think! Stayed tuned tomorrow for Part II.

Outfit Specifics:

shirt from A&F kids (thank goodness the moose is white and not black)

skirt from Ann Taylor LOFT

necklace from H&M

belt from H&M

ring from H&M
purse was a gift

shoes from Ann Taylor

*my brother who is my unwilling photog likened my outfit to a park ranger or Ms. Frizzle in an episode of The Magic School Bus Goes to the Jungle. Thankfully, we have little brothers to make us second guess our outfits and ruin favorite childhood cartoons. Ms. Frizzle would rock Ann Taylor pumps for sure.

OOTD: Sweet Sunday

Sunday was nice and relaxing. I had a late lunch and then Pinkberry (even though it was deceivingly cold outside). Then decided to make mini-cupcakes - sweet and simple, vanilla with chocolate icing.

Just thought I'd share my outfit of the day. Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Monday came too soon...

The ring is from TopShop - oh, I love bows!
