Poppy Talk
Vintage Sunglasses, H&M Top, Forever 21 Bib Necklace, Scout Skirt, Miu Miu Pumps, Vintage Clutch
Despite my best efforts, I can’t shake my obsession for tulip skirts. They’re undeniably fun and flirty and offer just the right amount of volume without appearing overdone. I was immediately drawn to this one (from the hip site I Don’t Like Mondays) for its sweet poppy color and deep set pockets. As for my necklace, don’t blame me if you missed the boat since they’re now sold out (I told you about it here) and it’s still the best $13.80 I’ve ever spent.

The ideal figure, the skirt color is so glamourous!!
aw that’s such a cute outfit, and it’s your adorable miu mius again! love it!
Emily, you always look outstanding, but this has to be one of my favorite outfits of yours! Simply fab.
This looks very lovely. Love the Miu Miu shoes with this skirt!
Absolutely Adorable! You’re always so chic!

Love the skirt!!! I actually just bought one like that (but without awesome pockets) from F21!
Love the necklace Emily!! And the color combination look just great.
A cute yet chic outfit! It looks completely office appropriate and cocktail ready. I love pairing necklaces like the one you’re wearing with high necklines.
gah! i need those shoes! great outfit
beautiful dress and beautiful necklace.
Kisses
the necklace really is a good buy, adding a touch to simple outfits…
I’m so jealous of your shoes! The skirt looks great on you!
the tulip skirt is my bread and butter. and three cheers for the stylish pocket!!
I just love pockets on a skirt, especially this one:) you look beautiful!
The skirt is so perfect! Beautiful color and who can resist pockets?? You look gorgeous!
Love the color, love the shape. Perfection as usual! (And I’m still convinced that the Elizabeth and James number is a must have—the construction and draping are amazing!).
But you must tell us: what do you do to stay in such trim shape? Or are you one of those naturally slim girls that I love to hate
I love this whole outfit. Very cute!
great necklace! and skirt. and shoes. and, well, everything.
I do love it, especially the necklace and shoes… oh the shoes! I am a size 11 shoe and always desperate to find cute ones.
Such adorable shoes!! Love the outfit as well!
tulip skirts always look so great on you! and i’m drooling over the Miu Miu pumps…
Love the color!
This outfit is so snappy–love the color of the skirt–v. sassy. I’m also envious of the backdrops in all of your photos–it seems like you live in my dreamworld of eternal sunshine!
you are so cute!! i just came across your blog and i am hooked.
I LOVE that outfit!!!
love the color of that skirt! i need to step away from the black…
These photos are adorable! Love the necklace! and of course the Miu Mius! I still need to pick up a tulip skirt I just haven’t found the right one yet. ::sigh::

i love your stance in the first photo, you have such a great presence. and the outfit is impeccable, outstanding skirt and necklace.
wow, tough love on the necklace. thank goodness the skirt is still available!
best. skirt. ever.
I was actually at Forever 21 yesterday. I really don’t love that store. You are the type of person who can take a piece of there’s and pair it with other stuff and make it look cute,but a lot of their stuff just looks cheap.
BUT, I love their jewelry. They did not have that necklace, but I found a few other, and some really pretty floral earrings.
such cute shoes! and btw, not to be creepy, but your legs are a.maz.ing
perfect cali look. i’m with you on the tulip skirts. so flattering and for girls who just wanna have F-U-N.

Just how cute and elegant at the same time is this outfit? I love it!! LOVE it
You are always stunning! SO glad I snagged the necklace before it was gone! Too bad I was too late for the shoes… they’re gorg!
I’m one of the people who didn’t get the necklace, and now my wardrobe feels incomplete! haha!
those shoes just make this look for me! beautiful!
Wonderful outfit. And! Are you standing on a roof?! These pics so fun!!
Great color.
A+! Another perfect outfit!
such a cute outfit. I totally got the necklace after your suggestion and I am soooo glad I did. Totally get lots of compliments on it. I ended up buying it online because I figured that was a better chance than them having it in the store.

I seriously love this look! Amazing outfit! I love the dark top & light skirt for summer. Those shoes are awesome too…I bought a matching Miu Miu bag in 2001…you have forced me to find it & break it out again! Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh man, I love those shoes. I gotta get me some oxford pumps. NOW.
I love how you can throw your hair up and it looks great with the outfit. It’s like the messy high-school “I don’t give a crap” hair, but yet you look so stunning. I really love that skirt. This whole outfit is to die for.
Fab look…….just stunning!!!!
So happy I snagged the last one of those bib necklaces from F21. Love the skirt but I can’t wear them with my short stumpy legs!
DUDE. I’ve noticed how Forever 21 has stepped up their necklace collection lately too. They’ve really got some seriously cool statement pieces now.
I have the black bib necklace and love it!! Yours is TDF as well : ))
ps. Tulip skirts rock. ALWAYS will.

You rock that outfit so well. You know how you did a post on how to perfect the smoky eye look? Can you do one on your work out routine? Girlfriend, your legs are slammin’! I hope that didn’t seem to creepy of me!
loving this look! especially the necklace! I really did miss the boat!! darn it.

Oh Emily, what a fantastic skirt! I love Tulip too, which is odd cuz I have enough hips but whatever! That colour is wonderful and who doesn’t love pockets in their skirts??? Plus those mius…mmmmm.

I love the color of your skirt. It’s so vibrant, and would look so great with any color! It’s amazing.

This is so cute….I adore every piece….together it is perfection!
Hope you have a wonderful long weekend!
beautiful clothes, beautiful girl. as I’m sure you know, pretty, clean/clear skin makes a look (I would argue). and, you seem to have a sort of regimen down because you always seem to look flawless. think about doing a skin post? Products, sunscreens, moisturizers, etc?
Love this outfit, especially the necklace + shoes!
