this skirt is way old but it is one of my husband's favorites. today we're having lunch so i thought i would dress up in something i know he loves:) i usually wear it with white but i decided to go for one of my favorite color combinations(red/pale blue) instead. i got this tank as part of set-it came with super cute boy shorts-at one of my showers. i think it's way too cute to wear under something or to bed so it's having it's daytime debut today:) the rest of the oufit is fairly basic-cardi, belt and a pair of heels-but i'm happy with the way it turned out.

we have a huge storage space in our basement that has become the dumping ground for everything we don't want. in an effort to make room for wedding presents and other stuff that we actually need to store Doug really wants to clear some stuff out. last night, i started going through bin after bin. i'm embarrassed by the amount of stuff i have, especially clothes. i ended up with about 7 heavy duty trash bags full of stuff to donate and two large bins of shoes! i did find some great stuff that i'd virtually forgotten about. six years ago i went through a period where i was in love with vintage dresses and i started buying them off of ebay. i found several of those dresses that i can't wait to wear again! it felt really good to let some of that stuff go.

have a beautiful thursday:)
