Missin the 80s

I swear - Texas weather is so fickle. We had gorgeous 80 degree weather over the weekend. Sunshine clear skies - beautiful full moon in the evenings. Today its cloudy with scattered showers. Grr - So since I'm missin the 80s (degree weather) I thought I'd console myself by dressin in the 80s (decade)

I'm cold natured so I threw on a pair of leggings to start out with. Pulled out these KILLER boots I've been dying to wear. Didnt think that would be warm enough to I whipped out a pair of jeans and layered on the tiny fit boys tux jacket over the skirt. Yes, you read that right.....my top is actually a skirt.

I have this obsession (i've got quite a few of them) with collecting crazy 80s print full skirts and wearing them in upteen million ways. As a skirt, dress, bubble top, belted bandeau....You get the picture. I mean c'mon....in this economy? A gal's has gotta get creative in makin her wardrobe stretch to its fullest potential! So here, I tucked in the bottom of the skirt into the waistband of the leggings and just fluffed it till it bubbled in a length I liked - VOILA

Moving right along.... I figured since this is "wore & piece" it might be nice to show a few close ups of the "pieces" that make outfit. Yeah - Yeah - I should've thought of that from the beginning but I didnt and now I am so there.
