Body con dress (worn as shirt): H&M, $22 // Skirt: Target, $20 // Necklace: Fred Flare, $11 // Belt: Thrifted, $2 // Shoes: Payless
Now that the temperature is rising, I'm starting to realize how short some of my skirts are! Because I'm petite, I do prefer higher hemlines, but I have to keep it reasonable for work. I bought this floral number from Target a couple of months ago and had never worn it without tights. It wasn't till after my morning haziness subsided that I realized I was showing a little too much leg. Luckily, the elastic waist allowed me to yank it down a few inches till five. Then it went right back up.

heehee! that is a cute skirt. although my favorite would be those shooess! :)
Love love love the floral skirt! perfect for spring
I've been debating that very skirt during my last few Target trips. It's so pretty. You've styled it well.
love the stripes and floral combo...very fresh. and those shoes!
I love the necklace you chose! plus my favorite look right now is 1)striped tees.. and 2)tees with a full skirt. great outfit!
I've been wanting to wear a skirt for so long, but since I'm not really one to wear skirts on an everyday basis, I chickened out. I'm gonna try again soon!
Also, I got excited when I read your post because when I saw the picture I knew immediately where you got the skirt! I love Target! :D I love this outfit. It's pretty much my dream outfit. :D
Great outfit! I love the patterns and the large necklace.
Awesome pattern mixing!
I'm wearing almost the same shoes with a skirt that is much longer than I'm used to. Actually it's a dress but then, so is yours ;)
Pictures up tonight.
May I just say: I adored this outfit the moment I saw it? The perfect florals matched with the perfect thin stripes, lovely. :) I usually prefer higher hemlines as well, but those aren't always apprpriate for classes... woops.

such a sassy outfit! the length of this skirt is just perfect - it easily transitions from work to evening.

Yes yes yes! This is the epitome of how prints should be mixed- your outfit is great.
This has to be one of my favorite looks on you. The combination of everything is just perfect!!

Oh oh oh!!! SO good Katy! Love it all!
I adore this outfit! I would wear this in a hearbeat! I love how you mixed the stripes and floral skirt together : )
i'm really surprised that skirt is from target ... the pattern looks so vintage!
I haven't said it yet...but your new haircut is so flattering on you. I love it.
Love the floral! I love skirts that are versatile like that.
Great outfit, I like the mixed patterns.

haha! i did the same thing yesterday at work - whoops! cute skirt, love the stripe/floral combo
Wow I'm so in love with the stripes/flowers combo... amazing
You are so cute in this!
Yeah, what the what with how short skirts in stores are lately? I'm 5'7" and I have alot of expanse between my waist and my knees.
Great outfit! Love it!
Love how you paired the stripes with the floral - and that skirt is ahhmazing!
I know exactly what you mean! I'm petite and have really short legs, so I like high waistlines, but I always find skirts to short. I don't know, maybe I'm just a prude, but I think 10cm above the knee is short enough!
I feel the exact same way about skirts. Sometimes I just feel totally swallowed up even in knee-length ones. This is totally darling, though!
Oooh, I so bought this skirt in the other floral pattern! :D

Love the mix of stripes and florals, I will try it soon.

Love this outfit! Adorable!! Highwaist skirt and slim shirts are great on you!
I love this outfit, the combination of the stripes and floral is so pretty! Now I'm wishing I owned a floral skirt.
I know what you mean about the hemline, I can't wear a lot of my winter skirts to work without tights.
nice play on mixed prints :)
This outfit is absolute perfection. I especially love your skirt and shoes.
I LOOOOVE this! I really wanted that skirt, but passed because of the length. Boo!
lol i have the exact same problem! it's made even worse by the super windiness. all skirts should have shorts sewn inside
Cause you're scandalous like that!
Love the pattern mixology!
ooh, you look so fab! you always combine your stuff so perfect. you´re an inspiration!!! :-)
You look so cute! I have that same H&M tunic in purple, but I don't like it as much as the B&W version.
I'm finding that I'm having the same problem lately with my skirts and dresses.
Hehe, I know what you mean about short skirts, I'm like, have I grown, I don't remember this being so short? You feel more covered up in tights. I find myself constantly pulling down my skirts at work, too! But I love that you paired this with stripes, I have the same skirt and putting it with a striped shirt is a great idea, thanks!
I don't know how I haven't discovered your blog until now! What a stunning outfit - I absolutely love it! Looking forward to reading your blog now! :)
Wow I really love that skirt, it looks great on you!
I also understand about the short skirt thing, I always have that realization when I take off my tights come spring.
Luckily I wear a uniform to work, so when I wear my skirts, its okay if their a little short!
i absolutely loooove this outfit! it's so well put together and totally perfect for spring! :)

i love this outfit. love the mix of floral with stripes, and the hair cut of course. isn't it funny when you cut your hair short and then it just keeps getting shorter and shorter?
anyway, i admire your ability to make outfits out of mostly separates. i am a dress girl all the way because they look best on my figure and don't need to be matched with anything, but i really enjoy the way you put different pieces together!

I also have that skirt... I think it looks very cute on you! I love the stripes/floral look.
Mixing prints is very difficult and a true talent. I think you nail it! It takes a skilled eye. My mother is amazing at it! FIERCE Style!
lovely skirt!!
