Do you ever have things in your closet that you completely forget about? That's what happened with my Ann Taylor thrifted pencil skirt. I got it tailored (sides slimmed and waist taken in) and it's been just hidden in my growing collection of skirts for months. I wonder if it's because it's red and I don't gravitate towards that color or perhaps I have too many skirts . Everything is color coded in my closet so I usually go for what's easy to pair with like grays and neutrals.  Thanks to blogging, it's really opened up my eyes to playing with colors and textures.

I was pleasantly surprised how well this red skirt went with the H&M houndstooth blazer. I love how the faux fur collar just adds a touch of class and elegance to this outfit.  I know this blazer is more of a casual blazer but I prefer to dress it up.

My Seiko watch finally makes it's debut! I can't get enough of it. The only flaw I could find is that it's a bit loose even when I took out the maximum amount of links. Other than that, I had no idea I could love a watch so much.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
