This weekend a friend of mine posted pretty much the best Facebook status ever. She asked girl's to comment with their absolute favorite lipstick (she limited it to MAC) but i'm pretty flexible [wearing NYX bruised in this outfit]. I spend more time then i'm willing to admit researching the names that the girl's were posting! Such a great knowledge share! Of course, I commented with my favorite go-to MAC, Cherish, but now I pose the question to you. What is your absolute favorite go-to lipstick?

CROCHET STYLE + BLACK MIDI SKIRT

Well, it's been a while. This week was a whirlwind, but i'm back and better than ever. Even with my busy week, this high-waisted midi skirt was simple to go from day to night and is still on my radar (even months later). I have a few others en route to my closet including a pretty white linen midi. Even though this week was slammed with events this weekend plans to be even more noteworthy. With a little over a year to go, wedding planning is starting to go into full swing and the grand kickoff begins this weekend.

Any tips I should keep in mind?

CLASSIC B&W - 30X30 - Day 20

Top: AEO - Similar Here - $8   //   Midi Skirt: Asos - Similar Here & Here - $33

Heels: JLO for Kohls - Same Here - $30   // Belt: Fiore - Similar Here - $32

I thought I would keep it classic with today's look. I decided on black, white, and gold with well, no pop of color. Timeless is my thing and this outfit is all about vintage glamour. This midi skirt has definitely been one of my favorite pieces in the 30x30 collection - I can't wait for this shopping ban to be over so I can get my hands on a few more!

Happy Thursday!

CALL ME MIDI - 30X30 - Day 10

Black Sweater: Express - Same Here - $35   //   Midi Skirt: Asos - Similar Here & Here - $33   //   

Heels: JLO for Kohls - Same Here - $30   //   Gold Belt: Mango - Similar Here - $6

It's outfit number 10 (and the end of the month #sad) of my 30 x 30 and it's the first time that i've worn this midi skirt. I adore the look that this knee length skirt gives, and certainly plan on investing in more. This beauty is from Asos, but I definitely want to get another bright color, preferably in chiffon, and perhaps pleated. 

I think the best way to first experiment with midi skirts is black (of course), a low kitten heel, and a subtle pop of color. I went with gold here, but there are lots of options. As a petite girl, this style wasn't something that I thought would look good on me, but I was pleasantly surprised. There are great options out there for both midi skirts & dresses, so give it try.

How do you feel about the Midi trend?
