Marianne: Dumb.

I completely forgot that I owned this skirt. I bought it in May for $6 at the Gap, stuck it in my closet (because it's wool), and promptly put it out of my mind. What's sad is I've been coveting the J. Crew City Mini for a while now, and was seriously about to pull the trigger, when I found this skirt. It's not identical, but it's a similar length, cut, and material. At least I didn't buy the J.Crew skirt.
You already know that I don't do skirts well, so this whole outfit is kind of out of my wheelhouse, but I still dug it. I was feeling pretty darn cute until my mom asked if I was wearing a skort. SIGH.

    I like it, but oh MOM. I remember recently wearing a top I thought was cute to my mother's house and she made some sly comment to the effect that I possibly wasn't wearing a bra? AS IF.

    aw, i don't think it looks like a skort. i think it's CUUUUTE! but isn't it funny how moms have that power over us? and now you'll never be able to wear that skirt again without thinking about that stupid skort comment.

    The best part is, she was like "Is that a skort? I LOVE it!" Oh, MOTHER.

    I AM DYING. When I walk in my mother's house she gets all handsy with me and is always, IS THAT NEW? THAT BAG LOOKS HEAVY. *touch touch touch*

    In the same breath she told me my hair looks nice and asked if I ate onions for lunch.

    Cute outfit. I love that cardigan. I don't think it looks like a skort at all. I actually regret not buying that skirt myself when it was in stores. The pleating is darling.

    Moms are masters of the no compliment compliment.

    The detailing on the skirt is adorable! It doesn't look like a skort at all, and it looks way more expensive than $6.

    I'm actually impressed that your mom knows what a skort is. I think your outfit looks cute....although I might be kinda weird because I actually think you look cute with braces on your teeth. Weird, I know but I think they make you look very youthful. Since I'm in my mid-40's, I'm all about wanting to look youthful.

    Okay, I love this. Officially. Put a seal on it because the decision is made.
