Elizabeth and James Blazer, T by Alexander Wang Top, J.Crew Bracelet, Nixon Watch, Garnish EarringOhne Titel Skirt, Steve Madden Booties, Zara Bag

I’ve been showcasing pictures of my outfits on this site for about four years, but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to posing on sidewalks in front of passing cars. This particular skirt, which is kind of a faux wrap skirt (which I love), was particularly challenging on a windy afternoon. Luckily for the aforementioned faux part of the skirt, I didn’t end up flashing anyone, and was able to snap a few pictures before heading over to happy hour with friends.

    OMG! This is the funniest post you have ever done!
    I TOTALLY am shy, and it sucks so bad when you are doing a tiny shoot and people are around! I can tell in the pix that you are trying so hard not to bust out laughing!
    As far as you home financing deal, sorry, but you are in California and the prices are still extreme compared to the rest of the world- but the thing is…you are probably dodging a bullet, and it’s just not time yet! Wait , and your time will come for the perfect deal!

    The skirt looks like it’s one size too small. I would leave mini skirts to skinny legged 15-year-olds. Shorts is a different story.
