floral skirt, How to dress down a skirt

WhatIWore: Surprise! Surprise! I’m in another full floral print skirt! This version is a sateen fabric, so it could be on the dressy side, which is why I partnered it with my favorite beat up denim jacket. I toyed with the idea of doing a graphic tee underneath but liked the simplicity of a soft three quarter length sweater instead. Because it was on the chilly side, I opted for booties over sandals or heels.

Where: Final Day of Class

Then | Now: Back in Bloom, March 16, 2015

Monday also marked the final day of my fashion illustration class that I taught at Indiana University. It’s always amazing for me to see how my students grow through the course and how beautiful their final portfolios turn out. I learned a few things from the class too. First - I need to find more time to do creative projects, including illustrations. I miss drawing! Two - I need to keep signing up for classes on my own. Not full semesters, but weekend conferences or hat making classes or cooking classes. I get so inspired in a classroom setting, whether it’s as the student or instructor!
