A few weeks ago, I was bemoaning to The Boyfriend about how I can't shop, which is like, the worst thing ever, blah, blah, blah, and was browsing Anthropologie's website when I saw the Double Torsade necklace. It beckoned, me sparkling. It was beautiful. It was $28.
"Look!" I shouted to TB. "Isn't it wonderful?"
And then Glee came back from commercial and nothing more was said, until a few days later, when I confessed to TB that I had purchased the necklace. (Jewelry isn't included in the ban.)
His eyes expanded in that rapid way that lets me know something's up.
"You DID? I just ordered that today for you for our anniversary!"
Whoops.
I sent the one I ordered back.
So, basically, my boyfriend listens to hints. Which why I totally would like to state here, why, yes, I sure would like an iPhone 4. And perhaps a snow cone.
The other cool thing about this outfit is that I made the skirt! I found the tutorial online from Susan of Freshly Picked here. I invited a friend over for a little sewing party, and FOUR hours later, a skirt!
After looking at all the tutorials, I went ahead and added contrasting pockets.
Let's just all agree not to notice my cuticles, okay?
I love the versatility of this skirt. And how, when paired with the tube top, it totally looks like a high-end dress. I'm sure I'll be making more of these!

Totally love the way the skirt looks with the tube top and necklace... well done! I'm not so pleased with my tank dress, so I may try doing a few skirts like yours, instead, for a little more versatility.
