Making it Work: Orange Field Scout Skirt

(Anthro Gleaming Shoots Blouse and Looping Lanes belt, Target Presta Wedges)

Spoiler Alert: This post contains a serious amount of orange.

Viewer discretion advised!

You all know how I love color, but the Field Scout skirt isn't just orange; it's obnoxiously so.

I really only bought it back in August because it had been marked down to $20 due to a small black mark on the hem (which came out with a little stain-remover).

Some days, this skirt makes me smile and others, the color intensity overwhelms me, and I have to keep reminding myself how comfortable and great this skirt is for travelling abroad (not that a weekend trip to Cincinnati actually qualifies as travelling abroad), but if I were Jen, I'd probably be really grateful for it.

This was later the same day. When it got too warm for the jacket, I took it off and added the belt.

I had a harder time dressing this skirt up. It's quite slouchy, no?
