It’s no secret: I favor full, swingy skirts. Make it an olive green, all-silk full skirt and I might be in love. This skirt was snagged from Ann Taylor on clearance, for just $30. It’s actually pretty neutral, and I can wear it with a great variety of tops, winter and summer.
The Style and Co. paisley top is thrifted and it blends nicely with lots of other pieces too. I added a two-tone leather belt by Diesel, a thrifted bangle, and some Clark’s booties for a simple casual office look.
Our February Photo-A-Day word today is “front door”. This is the front door of the house I lived in the first eleven years of my life. I have such fond memories of growing up here, with my mother, grandmother and grandfather. My sweet husband sought this house out on a business trip in 2000, and took this picture to surprise me:

How sweet of your husband ! and I totally adore the skirt.
I love the feel of silk skirts…so that is a great find. I know as an adult I've sought out all of the homes I ever lived in and like you, I'm impressed by the house has seeming changed.
Beautiful outfit! You are just so lovely, Patti.
And what a precious surprise from your husband! I bet that meant so much to you that he remembered 🙂
How sweet of your hubby to do that!!!
Love the skirt–Olive is such a nice neutral!!
Ooh..I love the skirt! Exactly what I would get. What a find for $30! You're right about the versatility…paisley shirt looks perfect with it! So pretty!
love that skirt, i would just twirl away with it.
That's a great skirt colour. Goes with practically anything, and it's just slightly full without being puffy. A great buy.
Patti, I love your outfit and that color skirt is tough to find but Ann Taylor is awesome and so is the color of your skirt.. I find a lot of her items while thrifting…way more than anyone would expect. How thoughtful of your husband to snap that photo for you. Cute house. Have a great weekend…I may be in NYC tomorrow. Your favorite city. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo
Patti, you look great. I love how your accessories snap this look to attention. Your nail polish colour is perfect, too. Great score on the skirt. Anything that twirls…!
I like the full skirt, and I always love a good clearance find.
That skirt is great- truly can go with anything. Paisley is the unsung hero for spring, as is your sweet hubby for taking that picture!
Such an interesting color combination and looks great with the booties. I love 'sweet husband' surprise stories!
That skirt is wonderful!!! I'm always looking for something similar to that! They just feel so girly!! Hugs to you and your new (vintage) leather skirt is on it's way! ~Serene
Oh…I love this skirt! In fact, I love the complete outfit…great job!! Your booties always look so cute!
This skirt is a fabulous find! The full swingy style is so flattering and it is a great color. Do you want to twirl when you wear these types of skirts? I always do, ha ha! Heather
