Inspired by Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood

August 5, 2022 /

Last month Ada and I shared a monthly series of featuring 12 skirts. I have found myself reaching for them over and over and I was surprised how many I had once I counted them (29). About half were thrifted and I would say 3/4 are 3 years and older (that makes me feel better about that number).,Today I am sharing a look inspired by one of the ones Ada shared: I think finding different ways to wear something is fun so here is another skirt as a dress outfit!

This look of Ada’s may not be on her blog yet as she is catching up on publishing her posts but rest assured it will be soon. For this look I focused on the length of the skirt and the black belt.

I’ve shared this skirt twice, the last being last month and paired it the same sandals here. I chose a 5 strand golden dainty necklace which you cannot really see in these first pictures. I like the idea of not having to buy a strapless dress and creating one from skirts in your closet. There were several for me to choose from but I felt this one was the most summery.

You may see me laughing in this picture but just a minute before I put my finger on a slug on that tree trunk. I tell you taking pictures can be quite interesting if you remember my snake story from early this summer. There were also 2 utility trucks just up the street but thankfully I am getting good at ignoring was is going on around me.

I don’t typically carry clutches so I always forget how to carry one: I should have been holding it differently in this picture! As you can see in this picture, you can always add a color that is not in the outfit for contrast. I didn’t have a clutch with a bright color (like Ada’s green one) so I settled on this light pink one.

This was a good picture day: we managed to take 2 sets of blog pictures and I cannot wait to share the other ones… but it will be a while: they are for my birhtday post in September. I am taking advantage of good weather, kids at home and inspiration to write ahead and get some blogging done.

A bientôt!
