Out of this Galaxy

It's Marisa from Shades of Monet Chronicles here.  Oh where do I begin...this skirt, yes this skirt.  Let me just tell you that this galaxy skirt made my heart skip one ginormous beat when I first saw Jessica of Midwest Muse don it so dashingly on her blog.  It's just one of those pieces that is eye catching-ly, out of this galaxy...ok ok, pun intended.  Naturally I was pleased as punch when I saw Jessica put the piece up for swaps.

She styled it up pretty darn awesome-sauce if you ask me - the bow, the red shoes - yes, the whole darn ensemble had me from hello - so much that I pinned it on my Pinterest board right away.  Now how in the world could I ever do this little beauty justice like she so perfectly did?




I kind of adored how the print & colors lent themselves so perfectly to the season.  As in true fall fashion, the weather was rainy and chilly, so layers were the way to go.  A blazer with structured shoulders and velvety green shoes dressed it up a tad - but the striped t-shirt, floral crown & mustard tights made it a little more playful and a lot more comfortable for me to wear out.

Thanks so much for reading along with me here on this Monday morning.  See you around soon!

Love Bunches,

  4. Good job remixing that skirt. I really like it with the mustard leggings. I've never been a fan of skirts with the uneven length hem- but I really like this one!

  13. You look so darling. I love how different (yet great) it looks on you two- such fun, distinct styles shining through. The blazer and colored tights though, give it such a different vibe.

    So fun to have our first swapped item up!


    PS Did you mean to have everything capitalized? (if so, cool- just checking!) :)

I absolutely love how you made two completely separate, super cute, both very "you" looks! & it kind of looks like the space dust is going to fly off in that shot of the skirt and your tights- super cool!
