This outfit is a 2-for-1 closet ultimatum deal! I know that 2 wrongs don't make a right, but I was hoping that 2 closet orphans might make an outfit.
Top: this is from Ann Taylor a few summers ago. I think I wore it quite a bit that first summer, but it has mostly been forgotten in my closet since then. I really love the print, but I think the black border on the top just lays funny on me. I would say I love this shirt, but I'm not "in love" with it. When I got home from work, I wondered if a different skirt would make a difference, so I grabbed my trusty black pencil skirt. I don't know. I'm still not convinced I should keep it What do you think?

Skirt: I got this at the BR outlet in Kansas City in the spring of 2011. I'd had a white A-line skirt from Gap, that I bought for my high school graduation reception. That skirt was fantastic, but it was starting to look a little worse for the wear, so I bought this one, and got rid of the old Gap one. It didn't take long for me to decide this was a mistake. The Gap skirt was just way more flattering. I think the gathers on this skirt makes me look bigger and I don't need that at all! I've actually worn this skirt a few times over the summer, but haven't taken outfit pictures on those days. Maybe because I don't feel cute in it? Funnily enough, I actually think it looks pretty good in the pictures. Naturally, I turned to Pinterest for inspiration and found this picture of Kendi. So, I pretended it was fall and pulled out my boots and a cable knit sweater, while hoping John wouldn't get home from work while I was in my fall outfit. It's not quite perfect, but I think there is possibility.
