I’m wearing a jean skirt today.
Is it 1997? No. Is it 2003? Also a no. But I think I’m still ok wearing it.
Are jean skirts coming back or is this a huge no-no for fall? Speak truth into my life. I’m looking at you, Elle Webb Style.
Jean skirt: JCrew, Top: One September {found at Anthropologie}, Necklace: Target, Cardigan: Nordstrom BP, Belt: Gap, Watch: Michael Kors, Shoes: Tory Burch
It should be noted that taking self-portraits of an entire outift is REALLY difficult. I’m impressed that I managed to do it at all, and am therefore ok with the fact that every single shot I got is beyond awkward and also moderately unflattering. That’s just life when you’re a one-man show.
It should also be noted that I need a haircut – and I think I need to add some highlights, too. I’ve never dyed my hair. Will highlights ruin me? These are life issues I need to get to the bottom of.
Happiest of Mondays,

ps. As I read over this as one last edit before hitting “post” I am questioning everything about my outfit and these photographs. Aaah! Insecurity! The fact of the matter is: this is what I’m wearing today, and this is what I look like. If I only post pictures where I look incredibly slim and fashion forward – that’s not really posting picture of me. So here I go. Ready? One, two, three. POST.
1. jean skirts are still in–get it girl
2. I can highlight and cut your hair–muahaha…but seriously I can try
3. you are ROCKIN the outfit. SU-per cute.
I just wore a jean skirt this week, but I am also much older. I love the necklace, Katherine is the best around for haircuts and highlights. It will only be the cost of a round trip ticket!!! See you soon!
Kristin! Since it’s now Tuesday, there is no going back and undoing your outfit, but I wouldn’t anyway! phew! However, I wear athletic clothes all day long, so I’m not the one to ask for style tips. I think you look great! And what matters most is that you feel you and feel good in what you are wearing. Sometimes I put on an outfit, and Jeff says “Yeah! Thats it! You look great!”… but if I don’t feel good about it, it’s coming off. Oh, being a woman! Regarding the highlights. I think they’d look great on you! However, it’s hard to go back once you’ve done it. I started highlighting my hair about 5 years ago, but I do look forward to every time I go to get it done (like 2-3 times a year cuz I’m lazy and cheap!) Just start with something natural… that way when it starts to grow out its not too drastic. Ok, love ya girl!
You’re right, this one woman show is just too demanding for a fashionista such as yourself. I think you need an assistant, one to take full outfit photos, look into hilights and the such. Better put that on your to-do list 🙂
I love when a style from the past swings back around. And you keep the look totally modern with the varying textures and shades of blue.
Be confident in your style intuition — you’ve got it!
Happy styling!
