One Skirt, Two Ways

For those of us that read a lot of fashion blogs, we all know that Philip Lim for Target has been.... everywhere.

I was probably the only person who didn't jump on the bandwagon right away. I didn't purposely avoid it, but I didn't realize it was going to be as nice as it was. I also hate crowded shopping and long lines, so I just didn't bother. 

Sure, I'm a bit sad that I don't have one of those really nice bags that keeps taunting me, but it's not the end of the world. 

When I did finally end up at Target a few weeks after the launch, I was surprised (and excited) to find a skirt in my size. I tried it on and fell in love with the style and fit. At first, I wasn't completely sure about it, since my heart was set on the coveted orange leopard print version, but now I like this one even better.

In fact, I love this skirt so much, that it's been in heavy rotation since it came home with me. 

Since I have this "issue" with being an outfit repeater, I try to come up with new ways to wear it each time that I do. I thought it would be fun to show you two different outfits that I came up with, that both feature the skirt. I wore the first outfit to a friend's birthday dinner, and then I wore the second outfit to work. I was a bit more creative the second time around, since I've never paired flannel with a skirt before. I was also excited that it worked with the jacket I found in New York.
