I don't much like this outfit. That's why I figured I'd post it now, when everyone is probably in the midst of rockin' summer holiday weekends and probably not reading my blog. It's k, I forgive you.
Originally I wore this outfit sans the leggings. And I felt like a hooker. It's honestly not that short, but that's still a lot of visible skin to be showing, especially when you're just going to Wal-Mart to run errands for your grandma. Oh well. I like to have fun. Then it got cold out and I threw on some leggings. I think that was a good choice.
I bought my earrings a few years ago from some other style blogger, but since I didn't style blog myself at the time, I lost track of her. Anyway, they're awesome, and if you by some chance recognize them, do tell! I'd love to get in touch with her again...

love the earrings! and its handmade? thats a plus!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, when I wear short bottoms, I also feel like a hooker. I suppose that's a good thing because it reflects our inner abhorrence of salaciousness in a society of hypersexualization. At least we have the morals and decency to question the modesty we may or may not have, right? Right. See how I used two GRE words there?
ReplyDeleteI also concur with the sentiment you left on my blog. I think we turned out rather well.
I love this outfit so much, really cannot see why you don't like much of it!! I adore your patterned skirt and red clutch, i think you look gorgeous <3 xoxo

Boy, I'm glad I'm too busy celebrating the holiday weekend to see this outfit... I might have said something snarky...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Ashley. If you showed up in pajama-bottoms and a tube-top, we'd still think you're the cat's meow.
the outfits looks fine girl! :)
ReplyDeletei love the earrings! too bad u lost in touch with the girl who made them!
I think the outfit looks good.
ReplyDeleteHoly.. you look hot! I will come back and give you a proper comment, I am cooking and organizing a party at the moment so I am in a rush commenting haha, how addicted am I to lurk on blogs!
ReplyDeleteYou are ridiculously pretty. The outfit is cute, the shoes are particularly awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the pop of color from your clutch. Well, I pretty much love your clutch in general. :)
ReplyDeletebad-ass girl i love it.

I have been that girl running errands on a Sunday afternoon in a super short, Catholic schoolgirl type of skirt and a skimpy top with, of course, black leather over-the-knee boots.
ReplyDeleteI was a junior in high school.
That's embarrassing.
P.S. I'm in love with that clutch of yours. And the story of you trying to beat Donkey Kong. Your life sounds like my life.

Back to work here- no holiday for us! It does look a bit overcast there but your skirt looks great with leggings so no worries!
ReplyDeleteWell your fab clutch and great printed skirt totally make it for me!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you are looking very supermodely in your second shot.
Chic on the Cheap
I absolutely love this outfit. I don't know why you don't. It makes you look so tall and lean and gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI have an idea for your next vlog. A serious suggestion this time. A makeup tutorial. Your face always looks perfect and flawless. I love the dark eye and the nude lip. So chic.
Love you girl
Tracy

Funnily, I often wind up in Walmarts in some very skin-baring outfits. It's like I know nobody there is going to give a damn and I'll likely run into half a dozen teen mommas baring thrice as much hah.
ReplyDeleteOk I made it back. I have to agree with everyone else, you look stunning. I know you said you don't like this outfit but I..I love it. I love the look of the leggings with that skirt, so out of the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteFunny you say you felt like you were baring too much skin in this outfit, I usually feel like a ho if I wear skirts that are a couple inches above the knee, I feel like I'm baring it all, like everyone is staring at me in awe...which, is just pure paranoia of course.
I am in love with your hair, and I confess myself as the stalker of your hair, haha. (Not really, but I do love your hair though. I like torturing myself by staring at it and thinking that I miss my long hair, while I am living with a chopped off mane. I need hair extensions, and I am fickle -sigh-)
LOVE THE LOOK. And the 3rd photo is just adorable!

Hey don't fret.. the outfit looks fine... The skirt is cool with the zig zag effect... makes it interesting!
ReplyDeleteCarla
I find that any remotely short skirt + heels makes you feel like a hooker, whether you look like one or not. The same thing with flats would likely not even register.
ReplyDeleteThose earrings are lovely, and hey, style blogger pedigree! ; D
Your vest is bad-ass! I love it. The whole outfit is great, don't worry! Hope you had a great long weekend in the U S of A ; )
ReplyDeleteI get the same way about feeling like a hooker. Its why I gravitate toward flats. You remind me of Ashley Green as Alice from Twilight in these pics. I mean that as a compliment (in case you hate twilight etc).
ReplyDeleteI think you might have just found yourself a new start up business
ReplyDeleteHookers for Grandma's!
You can run errands for all the ladies out there over 75 that can't drive! :)
I like the look and honestly think you look very chic, not Pretty Woman in the opening scene at all.

Great skirt!
