wearing: polka dots and lace

Pinterest gave me the one math equation we can all remember this spring:

                 floral + polka dots = a must! 

I'm down with it. Switch out the polka dots with stripes, and we have TWO things to work with!

It was just the inspiration I needed for a client party I went to for my Norfolk/VA Beach station last week. I wanted to be dressy without being too much. I dug though my skirt drawer and found this gem that I too often forget about.

Originally I left the shirt tucked in, but I ended up untucking the back half. It felt more casual. 

-crochet/lace skirt from Charlotte Russe clearance
-booties from F21 clearance [similar]
-simple gold studs
-light pink/nude lip gloss from Ipsy that I'm still getting used to


The necklace is actually a lot more pink/rose gold than pictured, I think... 

There's something I have to admit, though... Just as I was leaving the station to head down there, I ripped the freaking skirt! I ended up having to take the hooks from a pair of earrings in my car and "sewing" it back together so it wasn't flapping around. Hi ghetto fabulous. I'm really hoping I can figure out a way to sew and fix it for real.
