The store was filled with beautiful jewelry, textiles and home goods, and we all left with full bags and empty wallets. One of the pieces that I picked up on the trip that was very outside of my normal comfort zones was this printed midi skirt. With my short little legs I find that flowy midi skirts can be tough, but after seeing my girl Jamie Chung rock one during fashion week this year I was determined to give it a shot.
I originally paired it with a cropped top for a boho summer look, but now that the weather won’t allow for a bare midriff I’m pairing it with a turtleneck for a more seasonally appropriate styling. Throw in some booties and call it a day!
When we would travel growing up I always picked up a souvenirs from wherever we were. If we were in the Cayman Islands, maybe a seashell, I got a small pearl necklace from St. Thomas, a pair of wooden clogs when I was in Amsterdam and the most notorious request of all – a cuckoo clock from Germany that drove my entire family insane for years. I’m a nostalgic kinda girl and love having things that remind me of the places I’ve been. I also remember exactly where and when I bought things (even if I can’t remember what I had for lunch).
I’m from Dallas so I definitely did not need anything else with a Texas flag on it, but I wanted to pick out something different that would remind me of the trip and getting to show my hometown to the girls. The print of the skirt has a very southwestern vibe to it and with everyone’s encouragement I decided it needed to come home with me. Now I’ll always smile when I wear it thinking about the hilarious and fun filled girls trip to the big D.
