Happy Friday Sugers! Are you in love with Friday as much as I am? Lately, I find that when the traditional working weekends it kick starts my blog business and that makes me a very happy girl indeed. Things are going well, just quietly, the start of this financial year saw me roll my social media consultations, blog income and website building all under the one banner. It’s easier to manage, more streamlined and now I can really see what’s going on with stuff. I’m really happy and looking forward to big things for the 2013/2014 financial year.
Exciting times folks! Tax time, you would’ve thought it. Haha.
But enough about that, check out my flouncy weekend wear from the other week {this one got bumped from last Friday}. I picked up thee sneakers for $15 and I’m wearing them with everything right now; skirts, shorts, dresses and jeans. EVERYTHING. On the other end of the spectrum was this ASOS Curve floral skater skirt. It’s a cheap and cheerful little beauty but I haven’t worn it before this day. Too short, too flippy and all that. I’m glad I got a chance to wear it, it was fun and I look forward to doing it again.
Funny how that happens.
But you know what? Sometimes on the weekend you just have to put on a flippy skirt and get out there and let it blow around in the wind, don’t you think? I felt pretty girly and teenager’ ish wearing it. This skirt reminds me of our old school uniform in primary school with the royal blue netball skirt with pleats and velcro. The shorter the better and not to attract boys or flash underwear but because it was the nineties and legs were in. Where does that confidence go?
The confidence to just go for it. My legs, my build, have been the same for the past two decades with slight variations in height and more moderate in the weight department. Where does that confidence of youth go? When was it replaced by a need to hide out and cover-up and stop flipping the flippy skirts? I don’t know when but I’m bringing it back. I’m bringing the flippy skirt confidence back.

It’s SO close, yet sooooo far! Haha.
Love the skirt, and I´m all for wearing sneakers with everything! But seeing you in so many florals makes me miss stripes… don´t tell me that noisy lady made you reconsider wearing stripes! Hahaha
Thank you! And NO WAY, I have no idea why the switch but I’m sure it won’t be for long, all the monochrome stuff in store, lots of stripes and geo prints are too good to ignore!
CUTE!!!! I love my one of these skirts to death! I’m almost thinking of buying another one. I bloody well wish I had your legs though- phroar!
I’ll bring you this one down if you like? Save you getting another one?
Haha. Thanks muchly.
Love this outfit! Totally, sneakers and skirts all the way!
Thank you L-A. SOOOO comfy and fun.
This is exactly what I would have worn to my school disco in grade 7. That’s no bad thing! It’s just that the combo of floral skirt and denim jacket would have been a fave with me. Sigh – nostalgia!
I do not wear sneakers with skirts though – maybe put on my to-try list?
Haha. I’m hearing you lady! Me toooooo. So much fun to wear it again.
Yup, add it to the to-try list!
