Way back in March I bought this yummy hot pink skirt. I was so excited to get it because it was a straight skirt that was long enough for my taste and I just really liked it. It grabbed me, spoke to me and said, "You have to have it." Well, last week was the first Sunday I wore it. It had become an "orphan" in my closet for months, a piece of clothing that had nothing to go with it. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't pull an outfit together that wasn't blah or lack luster. I was always on the hunt for the perfect blouse to compliment the skirt whenever I went shopping. It was really a challenge to find a fun top that was the right color or complimented the unique texture of the skirt. Last week I was still trying to make it work when I had an "ah-ha" moment. My mind started thinking about the possibility of getting a bold piece of jewelry to wear with a white blouse that would match the intense color of the skirt. Then it hit me....I had a hot pink beaded necklace that my Mother wore in college! She wore it with a hot pink dress that my Dad particularly liked when they were dating. This necklace had some history behind it! I scrambled to find it and was amazed when the strand of beads matched the orphan perfectly. It was just the accessory needed to pull the outfit together. While I wore it to church I wondered if my Mother was as excited to wear her necklace with her pink dress as I was to wear it with my pink skirt. Thanks for sharing, Mom!
well, isn't that a cute story. Glad you could pull that one off. And remember,, when in doubt,, a nice crisp white blouse will go with anything! you look cute as usual!
