Create28: A Summer Skirt Look

I LOVE skirts. But for some reason, skirts don't typically end up in my closet. I confessed in this post that I had never owned a pencil skirt before!!! Because my lifestyle is so casual (3 young kids), I think I tend to shy away from skirts because I feel like they are "too dressy." However, last year I purchased this cargo-type skirt at Loft and I really love it! It totally fits my casual lifestyle and is a great alternative to shorts in the spring and summer.

I can just throw on this skirt with a  casual tee and sandals and I am just as comfortable in it as I would be in shorts or jeans. Plus, it has pockets so that's always a HUGE plus!! If you're looking for a casual skirt, here are some great options:

Once in awhile though, I am glad I have my pencil skirt for more dressy occasions. But you know me, I can never go toooooo dressy! In this post, I dressed down my pencil skirt with a denim vest  and casual wedges ~

Here I dressed down the same skirt with a simple graphic tee....but I did add heels and bling, though...FANCY, right??!!!

Eyeglass Envy with Warby Parker

When my sister and I were little, our mom took us to the eye doctor.  One of us, at the ripe old age of five, needed glasses.  The other did not.  At the time, I really felt that I got the short end of the stick.  Can you guess which of the two sisters I was??

I was, in fact, not the four-eyed sibling...but I was oh so jealous of my sister's cool purple frames!

Fast forward to today and I still think that glasses make a great fashion statement!  Especially if you are wearing a pair of Warby Parkers!  Have you seen their new Corner Collection that launched today?


"The Corner Collection gets its name from our seasonal preoccupation with silhouettes and angles. This time around, we’re experimenting with traditional shapes; think crisp keyhole bridges, sloping browlines, sharp temples, and straight-edged brow bars in a handsome mix of horn-inspired acetate and stainless steel."- Warby Parker


These days I should sport the spectacles for seeing things far away (you know, while driving and stuff) but I usually forget that I even own glasses.  Now, if only I had this pair of Goodneys from WP's latest collection, I would wear my glasses all.the.time.

Aren't they adorable.  I can totally picture myself wearing them with a cute slouchy t-shirt and some skinny jeans to grab coffee with friends on a Saturday morning.  Maybe a little something like this...

As I daydream about cute glasses, weekends and cups of coffee, head over to Warby Parker to check-out their new line of glasses and sunglasses.  For every pair purchased, WP distributes another pair of glasses to someone in need.  A great product with a great mission?!  I love it!  Now, which pair do you want?

*I was contacted by Warby Parker to write this post but all opinions are my own.

What I'm Wearing:

Tee: Madewell (similar, similar)
