PRIM AND PROPER

No. I am neither prim nor proper. 

(Don't let my blog title fool ya. Total t-shirt and jeans girl here.)

But, once in a (long) while, I do dress very girlie. Guess today is one of those occasions.

The pink, lacy skirt was a present from hubby -- yes, he is super sweet -- I paired it with a simple tank and black sweater. 

They make the perfect combo for a romantic date night, don't you think?





I love this pin-striped jacket, so I attempted a mix n' match with the skirt. 

Well, didn't turn out completely disastrous...




Overall, I put forth good effort to look prim and proper.

What do you think of the outfits?

    You look absolutely glamorous and classy girl! Your hubby has amazing taste, because that skirt is just sooo pretty. I wish there a up-close shot of it to see the details of it, because it appears net-y from here.

    Love your outfit!

    The one thing I can't pull off are flowery skirts because I feel like it's too girly to fit my personality. :S
