The Striped skirt

The way this outfit came about is kind of a long story. I'll try to make it short.

You know when you come across an outfit either in a magazine or more often at times, a blog and say: "Oh, I can totally do that, but I just need this one piece to make it complete". And you don't really want to go out searching for said missing piece or try to and just can't find it? Well, that's what happened when I came across this picture from the lovely Naomi of Rockstar diaries.

I already had the dress, now all I needed was a striped skirt. I did not feel or even have time to start scouring F21, H&M, etc.. for a striped skirt to add to my wardrobe. And that is when the Delightful Dozen gods came to my rescue. A couple of days after discovering this picture, Elizabeth  put up her striped skirt for swaps! I NEEDED that skirt! It finally arrived on Thursday and since today was a snow day I had the time to put together this style chain outfit that I've been waiting for.

I like how the dress is peeking underneath the skirt and gives it a little volume. For my tights, I paired a solid blue pair underneath a black lace print stocking.

Now since this is from the Delightful Dozen, both Tieka and Elizabeth have already shared their own looks with this skirt. Oh the possibilities!
