Spring Must Haves: Skirts.
Happy Wednesday Ladies and Welcome. Amy Ann and I have covered it all this Spring: Floral Prints, Statement Dresses, Trench Coats, Sandals+Wedges and last week was Shorts. For our Wrap Up to this 6-week series we chose Skirts. There is even a link-up at the end of this post. It will stay open until Midnight PST on June 16th 2014. Please join us. =)
Skirts were a no-brainer for us because just like Dresses, they are a Girly Must Have piece for Spring and Summer. I picked a Flirty little number as my Skirt. Amy chose the Loveliest Sky Blue+Gold Striped Mini paired with a Navy Tee. The Stilettos and Purse she accessorized with are Gorgeous. It is all very Springy and Nautical (which I love). This week (unlike many times) our Outfits are quite different. But we still both sort of Dressed Up our Casual Skirts.

This week (unlike many times) our Outfits are quite different. But we still both sort of Dressed Up our Casual Skirts.
I took it all back to the first week with this Outfit by choosing a Floral Skirt (since our first week was all about Floral). I am even wearing the same Button-down Blouse as I wore the first week with my Floral Pants and the same Black+Cognac Wedges (from the outfit with the Floral Pants, also). So basically my Outfit is showing 3 of our Spring Must Haves into one Look: Floral, Wedges and Skirts. The Cute Little Floral Skirt has little bouquets of Pink+Red Roses and the Cognac Elastic Belt with the Faux Leather Butterfly in the middle is actually attached to the waist of the Skirt, making that part of the Skirt go well with the Cognac of the Shoes. I added a New Statement Necklace and Earrings set in Pink+Red Stone Flowers that match the Skirt perfectly and a Bright Red Lip and I was good to go. This was worn last Saturday to see my cousin and her new Baby Girl (for the first time). We had Lunch and some Refreshments at the Patio of a Restaurant and the Baby slept most of the time. She was adorable and so tiny. Vivian looks like a giant next to her.

Dressing Up for Me.
Cheryl's White Shorts are the epitome of Summer Casual Cool especially paired with a Short-Sleeve Chambray Shirt. She looks so Fresh!
Erica paired her Blush+Black Striped Shorts with matching Blush Stilettos and an off-the-shoulder Graphic Gray Sweater playing both sides of Dressy and Casual.
Kileen's Light Blue Shorts are matched by a Vivid Skye Blue Collarless Blazer. Paired with Classic Nude Pumps and a Nude Leather Tote she is Tres Chic in this Suit-like attire.
Laura tried her Mint Shorts with a Light Yellow Top, Denim Jacket and White Rosette Statement Necklace keeping the Outfit in the Spring Pastel tones.
Darcy also wore White Shorts but she paired them with a Gorgeous Scalloped Royal Blue Tank, Tortoise Sunnies and some Ethnic Cognac+Blue Sandals.
Tori's Acid-Wash Denim Cut-offs, paired with the Bubblegum Pink Wellies and Mirrored Sunnies remind me of the 80's. She is the 2nd feature this week sporting a "Wifey" Graphic Top, also.
