daily duds: tomato, to-mah-to

When it comes to closet organization, the golden rule is if you haven’t worn it in a year, toss it. The last time I cleaned out my closet, I tossed a lot of things I hadn’t worn in a year (or more) and promptly regretted it. But one thing that I couldn’t let go of was this tomato red skirt. It didn’t fit—it was too small and every time I tried it on, it was so tight in the waist that it felt like it was going to cut my body in half—but I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it. So it sat in my closet—until today. I lost weight when I got sick recently (and expect to gain it back quickly) so I decided to wear this skirt before I put the pounds back on. I think the color looks great with turquoise so I accessorized with a turquoise snakeskin belt, turquoise feather earrings and a necklace. Oh, and a scar that actually makes me feel like a bit of a badass. Or maybe a bit of a klutz.

  2. It's unfortunate that you don't get more wear out of that skirt because it looks fabulous on you.
    I loved how you paired it with bright blue.

    @ fshnonmymind: Thank you! I love the skirt and just couldn't bear to part with it. Maybe I should start hitting the treadmill so that I can still wear it! LOL!

  4. haha! the post sickness weight loss is a gift and a curse isn't it? Lol! That skirt is lovely. I would be holding on to it for dear life, too. Maybe if you take it to a tailor, they can let it out a little? I've seen tailors work wonders, I tell ya!
