Outfit of the Week - Birthdays & Wrinkles

chambray-green-pencil-1


chambray-green-pencil-2


chambray-green-pencil-8


chambray-green-pencil-6 
 chambray: old navy (similar for $9!) // skirt: target // shoes: nine west // 
necklace: ebay (similar) // watch: fossil //

First of all, I apologize for the wrinkly nature of the skirt. These pictures were taken post 8-hour workday, so I'm definitely looking... crumpled. Besides the inevitable wrinkles after sitting for hours, I love this Target skirt. It is comfy, the colors are pretty and it is really thick, which is idea for those of us that have... a little bit extra in the back. 

After work last week, I wore this outfit to my husband's birthday dinner. Things have been so crazy for us the past few weeks, so we decided to celebrate date-night style. We went to eat in a fancy restaurant in the tallest building in OKC. We sat way too high up for my liking, but we got to watch a beautiful sunset and enjoy some time together. 


Happy Birthday, Eric. You make my life so much more adventurous and beautiful. 
I am so blessed by you.

    This outfit looks like a perfect formula for an outfit... pencil skirt + chambray + statement necklace= always something cute! I have a banana republic skirt that looks like it's the same material as yours here (and yes perfect for us gals with a little bootay) and mine looks like that at the end of the day too, and those wrinkles always make it to the blog! Anways, I love this and you look great :)

    Happy birthday to your hubs! I'm glad to hear you guys could squeeze in a date night to celebrate! Love the skirt, it's a great color. I really love those Target skirts because the thickness is perfect. But they do wrinkle. I always think its absurd that there are people out there who would judge a wrinkly skirt. Basically you just need to sit down ONE TIME and it happens, get over it people!

    Love that you worked the awesome color of that skirt into your necklace. this is a very cool look! don't feel bad about the wrinkles, i feel like that's the nature of the beast when it comes to pencil skirts.

    Happy belated birthday to your husband!

    I love the color of this skirt. (And obviously, chambray is the best.) And what a pretty necklace! I am always regretting that I take pictures in the afternoon, after school has kicked my butt and it looks like I didn't even brush my hair. =)

    Every one is raving about those Target pencil skirts. I love the rich emerald shade. You styled it well. And girl your hair looks great here. You are glowing in these photos. Your husband is a lucky guy. Happy Birthday to him!

    I literally spent ten minutes last night trying to get the wrinkles out of a Target skirt. If I didn't teach first thing in the morning, I could peg it on sitting down. I adore the color of this skirt, and love how nicely it plays off of the necklace. Happy belated Birthday to your husband!

    I take all my pictures after work, too so I typically look less than my best. You look great! Your statement necklace is a perfect touch.

    Love how you styled this outfit! I think I could give away all of the shirts in my closet and just keep my chambray shirt and be okay... It literally goes with everything!! Looks beautiful!

    Love this look (even with the wrinkles!) I feel my wrinkles show that I actually wore the outfit (I tell myself these things to make myself feel better...) Pencil skirt and chambray shirt is a perfect combination! Hope your hubby enjoyed his birthday celebration!
