Hump Day Pick-Me-Up




NET International Cardigan - S (purchased in Taiwan) (similar here)
The Limited Top - XS (last year)
Forever 21 Wool Skirt - XS (buy here)
Forever 21 Gray Belt (recent, but not online anymore)
Target Gray Knee High Socks
Steve Madden Intyce Knee-High Boots (also shown here and here) (buy here)

My outfit goals this morning were simple:  1).  wear this gray wool skirt that I bought from Forever 21 over Black Friday and 2). wear my cognac boots that have been neglected on my closet floor for the past few weeks.  And with simple goals, I get simple results.  I liked how the outfit turned out, but think maybe something bright would really spice things up.  Maybe a mustard yellow scarf to throw in the mix for the future?  I just might. 

Oh, and for all my Dallas H&M fans, the pop-up shop is opening today (Wednesday) morning at Northpark across from the Henri Bendel (former Express space!) according to this article.   I wish I didn't have a lunch meeting (as I would leave then) but I'm definitely stopping by the store after work!  How's that for a hump day pick-me-up?!  Let me know if you're going and maybe we can meet up!  ^_^

i love that wool skirt on you! It's so cute! Followed the link to the F21 website and discovered that it's sold out in the small sizes. :( I'll have to check my local store for it, it's so darling on you!

And good luck at the H&M pop up shop. Can't wait to see what you find. :)

Great outfit! I can totally see a mustard scarf to add some pop of colour.

You always look amazing!! I'm reading your blog on my phone so at first I thought you were wearing a belted dress ;) You don't look petite at all to me! What is your height/weight if you don't mind me asking?

kileen said... [Reply]

@DoubleZeroP i'm 5'0" (maybe 5'1/2" on a good day) and weight about 98-100 lbs. and thank you for checking out my blog! i love new readers! :)

Always admire your chic and effortless style! (And you always look pulled together with your makeup and gorgeous accessories). This outfit is no exception! Love the monochromatic colors!

There is something wrong with me! Big time!

I still can't do brown and grey which in fact looks fantastic. Case in point - YOU!

I love this with the boots! I just checked out the photo of the H&M spot and I can so see the old Express store design haha. Good luck when you go! Too bad express closed though. I noticed it tends not to do well in higher end shopping malls.

Love that skirt with those cute boots and socks! What a fabulous look!

@kileen
Really? I would've guessed at least 5'3! Maybe it's related to your good posture? I'm not really a "new" reader, I've been following regularly for a while. I'm going to do it officially now :)

Tara said... [Reply]

Cute skirt...you look adorable!

Laura Holland said... [Reply]

kileen said... [Reply]

@DoubleZeroP haha, it could be posture. the shoes also are a HUGE help! i usually wear at least 3" heels. :)

and thank you for the follow!! means a whole lot to me.

You have a talent for finding such cute items at F21! I find it hard to wade through so much merchandise amidst a huge crowd so kudos to you! I love the pleating detail on that skirt and the sock/boot combo :)

Linley said... [Reply]

Meeting up sounds like a lot of fun :D let me know when you are going to northpark...:D It takes 20mins to drive from Irving...depends on the traffic...sigh..particularly in irving, prone to traffic jam due to so many constructionss grr.

kileen said... [Reply]

@zookie i just stopped by today for their grand opening but it was absolutely nuts. i ended up buying a cape at the last minute that i've since decided against, so i'll be making another trip out there this weekend if you're up for it!
