I sat in my closet for about thirty minutes trying to find something to wear for this inspiration at Two Birds. Literally... I sat there in a total conundrum: what can I possibly put together so that I don't have to shave my legs! I could either wear a knee length skirt with nearly-knee boots, or I could wear pants, or I could wear a long skirt. After settling on a skirt that I hadn't worn since 2006 and a pair of nearly-knee boots, I decided to wear this:
This skirt is one of my FAVORITE thrifted items. I am very happy with the fact that I didn't have to pull our a razor for this inspiration! Like... seriously... taking a break from shaving my legs is one of the best benefits of Fall... warm jackets, cool/cold nights, boots, tights, and No Shave (October) November-February! I'm just kidding... I'll at leasts get a shave in sometime around Thanksgiving and another around Christmas.
I chose this skirt because even though it is long, it still has the movement of Busy's adorable, short skirt. I feel like a freaking super model when I walk the pavement catwalk from my Civic to the front door of my school because it flows so perfectly. I get lots of comments on it when I strut in it... so, shout out to the fabulous woman who donated this to the Goodwill!
And I didn't forget my boots! I feel a little more country and a little less rock and roll wearing these, but they are SUPER comfortable and are perfect for the rain we're having in the South today. I even thought about doing the blue nails, but instead I painted my nails with Essie Jazz and quickly moved on to other thoughts. Have a wonderful Monday!
Omg, shaving is the bane of my existence. But back on topic, that's a cute shirt.
ReplyDeleteGreat look! Shaving the legs is so funnnnny (Thanksgiving and Christmas) Hahahaha. I shave my legs all the time year round. I hate the stubble stage, hate it.
ReplyDeleteMy legs needed something doing to them too- shaving and moisturising but I just went with it anyway! No closeups for me! You look lovely, that skirt really is a stunner

LOL-that's hilarious that you tried to find something that covered your legs so you would'nt have to shave them. I'm in the SAME situation now. I want to wear a short skirt but I sure don't feel like using that razor. It's hard being a girl sometimes!
