Last night a box from Talbots arrived and I had no time to try on anything until this morning. This morning was a bit of a rush as that I spent far too much time on my couch watching the Royal Wedding! I yanked out this skirt just to see if it was as cute as I thought it was online and I LOVED it! I didn't have much time to be creative with the pairing, but I can think of a dozen different ensembles to make with it! I will be having a full review of my recent Talbots order – hits and misses next week.
You look so springy! It gives me hope that the sun might shine in my neck of the woods. The first photo is a keeper!
Thanks for your work on this blog. It’s my guilty pleasure at work when I need a break. I appreciate your writing, commentary, and style. With an almost 3 yr. old I needed a little boost to my Momma style – you’ve helped me with that!
happy Sunday, jp
it’s so fun to see you in this lighter palette, and the pattern mixing is soo-poib! your hair looks great, too – shiny and like it has a life of it’s own – wow! happy sunday, steph
You look great!
I think I first bought it in purple, loved it so much I also got it in black and brown. Wish I also got the navy! 🙂
Oh, that skirt is so pretty! Love you wearing it in the dappled sun, too.
I have that belt in navy; it’s very versatile.
Thanks Naomi! And no, I won’t be reviewing the Royal Wedding – I missed much of it due to work and think others have done a far better job than I could 🙂
Love your work Allie! Are you planning on reviewing the Royal Wedding fashion? I would love to hear your thoughts!
Lovely outfit, you are looking very fit and healthy. It’s also very cool to watch the progression of Spring’s arrival in your neighbourhood.
Looking forward to your reviews. I really love this look!! I was really into their spring lookbook but have yet to order anything. I am hoping to get a pair of cropped pants at some point.
Thanks so much Katie!
Wow, that combination looks great on you!
Thank you!
You look soooooo pretty, Allie! LOVE this look. So nice and springy, yet fresh and inventive. ROck it. xoxo

I actually did NOT get the cardigan. I tried to think how I needed it/would wear it this spring and summer and couldn’t justify it. Other than this skirt, I got three pairs of jeans, a necklace and a jacket. Already know the jacket it going back, the necklace I am unsure and the jeans are still wrapped in plastic and waiting for this weekend to be checked out 🙂
I’m SO jealous! I wanted that skirt so badly and my size is completely sold out. Boo. Did you get that jacket/cardigan we both liked too? I wanted to try it on, but my store didn’t have any.
