I wore this outfit on Saturday to go play laser tag. We are big fans of laser tag over here at the Harvard residence, we even have an unlimited pass to go play at any of the Trafalga locations. Tiana slept over on Friday night and we went off to play laser tag! Unfortunately, Daryl couldn't join us since he had work that evening. Daryl and my sister both made fun of me for wearing a maxi skirt to go play laser tag but out of everything in my closet it doesn't get more comfortable than a maxi skirt! They are so pretty, flowy, and easy to move around in.
When my grandmother passed away earlier this month there were still a few pieces of her wardrobe that my sister and I wanted to keep and cherish. One of these items was this GORGEOUS maxi skirt. I'm so glad my mama grabbed the two maxi skirts she had, she knew I would definitely wear them. I love the colors and print of the skirt.
Do you often struggle with what to wear? If so, it might be time to buy a new skirt. There are lots of skirt options to choose from. Once you find one you like, you can actually use it to create many fun and functional outfits. For example, a mid-length skirt can easily switch to casual from formal or back again. All it takes is a change of shoes and accessories. When selecting a skirt, make sure you opt for one that looks comfortable, fashionable and fun. Choose the right length and cut for you and it will always help you look your best. Also, remember to choose a skirt made out of the right material. Choose a chiffon or satin for formality or a material more like cotton or denim for comfort, depending on your plans.

My grandma had SO MUCH JEWELRY. I don't even know where to begin to explain.. I swear if she wore a different piece every day it would take a decade to go through it all! I was able to take a few items that I really liked so throughout the remainder of my outfit posts don't be surprised if you see one or two of my grandmother's pieces of jewelry. The eagle necklace that I'm wearing surprisingly belonged to my dad. I believe he got it after he received his eagle scout. I love eagles.. actually I love all birds so he told me that I could have it since he wouldn't be wearing it.

Aww, I love this. :) Clothing of family members and loved ones are great; though my aunt (who largely raised me) passed away when I was 8, I still regularly wear her clothes and feel close to her. I'm glad you have such nice things to hold on to and remember her by! The eagle necklace from your dad is really neat, too. :)
