I don't know if I love a skirt more than this one, which is why it's continually made the cut as I've gotten rid of more and more of my clothes. It's neutral and yet still interesting, and it can be worn with almost any kind of top, including the ol' dress-as-a-shirt shirt. This time I decided to pair it with one of my favorite dresses, a little striped number that is cute on its own, but just as good when layered underneath a skirt.

This is the kind of thing I like about a capsule wardrobe--it forces you to pair pieces you normally wouldn't put together, and the result is often a new favorite outfit.

I'm headed to Seattle on Thursday and this dress is coming with me. I've had it for a couple years now and it's definitely a favorite. It almost has a heavy quality to it that I like a lot, and I feel like it's easily dressed up or down (which matters because in my dreams I'm always on my way to a very fancy tea party). Plus, it has pockets. So that's really all I have to say.

Most recently in Megan's Adventures of Shopping Her Own Closet, this light little ruffled sweater that's perfect for spring. I think I'm the worst fashion blogger of all time because everything I show you is old. "Here's the cutest sweater I own! But you can't have one, because I bought it six years ago."

In other news, I'm still wearing athletic clothes and passing them off as professional (see Lululemon tank top), but I think it's working--I cannot stress enough how perfect this tank top is. Another win for athleisure (and cleaning out your closet once every few months).
