Ruffles & Truffles

Style: Polka Dots

Are you surprised that I’m wearing a maxi skirt again? Probably not. They’re becoming the bread and butter of my wardrobe. They are so…darn…comfortable!

But there’s something special about this skirt. You see: there’s a little slit in the side. Do you know what this slit automatically makes the wearer do?

BAM! Angelina Jolie leg. I now know understand why she was standing that way at the Academy Awards; it is an unconscious action as soon as you wear a skirt with a slit in the front. The slit totally makes me feel like a lady for some reason…the hint of leg that peeks out as you walk is fun!

      Seriously…go shopping and get a maxi skirt, STAT! They are the best. It’s like…wearing sweatpants (comfort) but looking put together despite it! I seriously love them.

    Super cute! And I love the slit – it works because it doesn’t go too far up, and it breaks up the dark colors. I love it!

      Yes! I am glad the slit didn’t creep up too high…thankfully this one was just enough to make a statement but still be in good taste!

      I don’t know how I’ve gone all these years without a proper red lipstick. Now that I found one, I’m loving it…
