daily duds: o! pioneer

maybe i shouldn’t be making that reference as i haven’t read any willa cather? but i want to. so that’s gotta count for something, right?

anyways, today’s outfit inspiration:

this beauty has been going around pinterest like gangbusters (that’s a thing people still say, right?). and, may i ask why i don’t have any grey skirts? it’s totally my favorite neutral! and occasionally it’s my favorite color, too!

oh, but there’s a problem here… i don’t own any maxi skirts… but thanks to my over-priced local thrift store (what is that about?) i do own a maxi dress! so i thought i’d be clever and wear it as a maxi skirt:

well, i’m certainly not as lithe and willow-y as my inspiration…

blouse j. crew
belt forever21
maxi dress thrifted
boots j. crew

the neckline is a bit tighter than the waistline… i hope i don’t stretch it too much. slash i hope my waist will forgive me for pinching it thusly.

anyways, i feel like a pioneer. that was the point of this. either a pioneer or a worker at the triangle shirt waist factory. anyways, i definitely feel like a piece of american melodrama.

that and perhaps this maxi dress came home with me to become a maxi skirt? do we smell a reconstruction coming on?

i was complaining to myself in an inner monologue that i don’t get enough of my own knits out. too many of them languish… so i grabbed my goldf(ishbel)!
