I could write a love letter to this striped shirt I bought from Target back in ’10. Come to think of it, I just might. Hold that post, I’ll be back later for you complete with all the ways I’ve loved you just like a Taylor Swift* song.
Apparently I have a thing for cobalt blue this fall. I’m quite happy about the fact that it’s okay to wear bright colors this fall and winter. Well I suppose it’s always been okay to wear whatever you’d like whenever you’d like, but the odds of people sneering at me are lessened this season so that’s a positive. Although how could you have the heart to sneer at a girl who poses in an alley in a bright blue skirt? Exactly.
*Yes, I did just say Taylor Swift. A girl can have her guilty pleasures, ok?

Cobalt blue is one of my all time favorite colors and I love the way you've dressed it up for fall! Also, I adore that Madewell tote. It seems like the perfect go-anywhere, do-anything bag.

Obsessed with that gorgeous pleated skirt. And I have a striped tee I could seriously write a love letter to also – H&M '10 and I've been rockin' it ever since. It never lets me down. WeEEEEE are never, ever, ever, parting. 🙂

"Taylor Swift" links to V V Platinum Perfume by Roberto Verino. Is that what she smells like?
I love that skirt, but also the scarf! How cute!
Gorgeous bag and skirt! You look lovely 🙂

Love!! And, man, I've been drooling over that Madewell bag.
I just wore my cobalt blue dress I got from Bloom in the spring last night. Loving the color right now. (And loving Bloom always!)
that jacket is super fantastic!!

I pretty much love all stripes, all the time. And brights any time too! That Madewell tote is too cute. May have to check that baby out… (Umm and I love Taylor Swift and don't consider her a guilty pleasure… she's totally talented!)
sing it girl! love this top too and the way you've styled it!

Classic! I love that pleated skirt!

Oh goodness, I love that color blue so much! It is perfect with the white and black in your shirt. Perfect! Anyone who sneers at you for your outfit deserves a good kick in the boot-ay! 🙂

You look gorgeous!! Love the heels – would be perfect for July 4th!
There is no shame in loving T-Swift!
Also, I hope that top knot tutorial is coming soon! You are a master at making your hair look effortless when it's up. Whenever I try to put mine up it always takes about an hour and ends up looking like the way they would have forced schoolgirls in the 1850s to "style" their hair. So some pointers are certainly needed!

Dying over this bag! I have been debating between that Madewell bag and Zara bag. Ugh. Oh and super cute outfit by the way.

Love your blog and Taylor Swift! It's perfect match, I think)))
I scored that same striped top at a resale shop recently and I agree- it's perfect! Love this entire look.
This skirt is fantastic — pleats, blue, midi– what's not to love?
Cute skirt and jacket!

jaaaacckkkkeet. why do i type words like that? i'm not 12. what i'm trying to say is that jacket is ok, i guess. 😉 http://www.thismomsgonnasnap.com
OMG – this is crazy…but I have that exact same Target shirt from 2010 too!! And I am obsessed with it. I now hand wash it because I don't want it to wear or fade anymore and they aren't making a similar style now! Too funny 🙂 Love the way you styled it here – that second photo looks like it's straight out of a magazine!

What size skirt are you wearing? I don't see a size chart on their website.
Thanks!
Love the mix of colors. I've been after that tote for quite some time, just haven't bought it yet. I think I'd add some color to it (with a scarf) as well.

Love that skirt! How does it fit?
Heather — I'm wearing a medium and it fits a little bit loose. Not a bad kind of loose, the I can eat lunch and it's not tight kind of loose.
I'm wearing a medium and it's a little bit looser than true to size.
Yes!! Haha — pinterest birthday hints do work 😉
Yes, I could see how that could be weird. I have this pesky widget that I don't know how to get rid of that links random links sometimes. So there you go — a random link from a random widget. 🙂 But I actually just changed it to go to her site, so it's not a weird link any longer.
I sure hope so.
chic and pretty as always!:)

It seems like Taylor's everyone's guilty pleasure these days. Can't she just be our unguilty-cuz-she's-talented-and-everybody-loves-a-love-song pleasure? I mean, you're wearing bright blue in Autumn, so I'd say there's hope yet.
Love this look! So feminine!

I think I have that shirt from 2010 too! Actually I wear mine so much I'm a little worried I'll need to find a replacement soon! It will be hard for a new one to live up to that guy. Anywho, this looks great and I love that skirt. "It's the pleats." Anchorman? Anyone?

These pleats are the most! I love this skirt!

Colors are super cute together. My only concern is that the skirt is not figure flattering. You have a beautiful figure, but the skirt does not show this. It does the opposite.
