I've been looking for a column maxi skirt for a while now, ever since my grey one got too ratty last year. Most of the ones I've tried have been too wide at the bottom or too clingy on the butt. I finally found one I liked a couple of weeks ago at Express - I rarely shop there but went in on a whim to try something else and ended up with the perfect maxi skirt. The pieced construction on this one keeps it looking sleek. Sorry, Angie, I know you are not a fan but I love a good maxi skirt. =)

I'm also debuting my cutout combat boots today. Since it is their first outing I knew I wanted to wear full socks just in case they need to be broken in. (They seem pretty comfy so far, even though I managed to completely space out and put an orthotic in only ONE shoe this morning.) I dealt with the way-too-long laces by wrapping them around the ankle once. I may try some wacky lacing method later on but I didn't want to bother with relacing them this morning. My socks are purple with polka dots! It is hard to see in the photo but the purple does show under the skirt, especially when I walk.
