Yay, I'm so glad I remembered EBEW this month! As soon as I saw the choice of color blocking, I decided I wanted to wear my yellow Shabby Apple skirt. And no joke, I totally Googled "yellow skirt" and "color blocking" for some ideas yesterday. I saw a couple of cobalt blue/yellow combinations and based on those, put together this. I'm actually really loving how it turned out! It may be my favorite way I've worn this skirt so far!
It also finally gave me a reason to wear these darn sandals again. I have hardly worn them at all and I don't like that. I need to find more ways to use them. What's funny to me too is I wore these the last time I managed to participate in EBEW, even though it was a couple of months ago. If you have only been to my blog on EBEW days I swear I own more shoes than this!
Looking at this outfit some more, I still absolutely love it, but now I'm also realizing, these were my school colors in high school. Woo, Hylander Pride! My senior year for some reason the popular thing for homecoming was to take a pair of jeans and attach a ton of blue and gold ribbons to the legs to look like pom poms. I do remember doing this, but looking back, it was a waste of a good pair of jeans, because you cut holes in the legs to tie the ribbons through. And it's not like you wore them again after homecoming. But when you're 17 you don't really care that much about little things like wasting money I suppose!
Back to present day here, I added my favorite roomy bag because not only does it match my outfit, but it also is color blocked on it's own. This is a better choice of a day to day bag than my cute little one from yesterday's outfits - though all the nice compliments I received on that bag have convinced me to not totally give up on it!
