I can usually tell if I will have a good photo shoot or because if I start out not feeling confident about my outfit, chances are that I won't like any of my photos. I wasn't even going to  post this outfit because the pictures were so bad.  Since I didn't have anything planned for today, I figured what the heck.

This skirt doesn't fit perfectly therefore I don't feel great in it. It's hard to tell from the pictures but it does have some issues. The sides are about 1-1.5" too wide making the front middle part pouf out.  I compared it to some of my other skirts that fit and it's a pretty big difference. The waist is slightly too loose but when belted, I can get away with it.  I've noticed that when something fits perfectly, I feel so much more better about my outfit.  Since I got this skirt at such a bargain, I will be definitely tailoring it.  I know that if I don't, I will never reach for it and it'll just end up collecting dust.
