Lookbook: Plaid Recessionista

I absolutely love skirts and dresses with pockets. When I wear a skirt that doesn't have pockets, I always forgot and try to stick my hand in where they pocket should be. Funny thing is, I hate carrying things in my pockets, I just like the option of having a place for my hand to go.

This skirt gets compliments from everyone. Like co-workers, people on the street, sales people at boutiques (and this was all in one day!) and I don't think people would have guessed that I got it from Wet Seal. I got this skirt awhile back when I had first ventured into Wet Seal (I have not gone back!) and have not worn it until that day. The best part was, that I found this on their sale rack for buy one get one free so I got two! The other skirt is black and red plaid. This is another one of the J.Crew boyfriend tees. I told you I'm obsessed! I actually found this light pink one on the sale rack and there's nothing better than finding your favorite stuff on sale!

Can you believe my outfit, minus the shoes was under $30! That's what I call recessionista. :) The hair bow was a last minute added touch. It's one of my new favorites from Forever 21. It's just a big enough bow to make a statement but not too big that it overwhelms my head.

It was over 90 degrees in Seattle that day and it was a fun outfit for the heat! When I got home I changed into flats and we took our dogs over to Capitol Hill and got Old School Frozen Custard. It was the first time that I've had it and yummy, I loved it!

These pictures were taken at 8:30PM, I just love summers when it stays light out for so long!
