Workday Outfit: Bright Blue and Bronze

I have had this skirt for around 15 years, but have probably not worn it in 14 because I outgrew it.  I'm glad it finally fits again.  After putting this outfit on I was not sure if I actually wanted to still keep the skirt, but my employer complimented me on it and assured me that, in her opinion, it was a keeper.  I have two other ways planned to wear it, so I guess I will keep it for now and try the other looks sometime too.
I wore my new necklace to work this week both on Wednesday and Friday.
 This is a first time wear for these bronze heeled sandals.  They pick up the bronzy color in the skirt.

    I love this skirt and the necklace! I don't have anything in my closet from 15 years ago....I wrote a post about my love for an embroidered tunic for Tuesday and may someday say I've had it for that long....

      Oh, I'm glad you like the skirt, Tracey! I wasn't so sure if it looked okay. So two for the "yes, keep it column" so far make me feel better about it. Thank you. I'll look forward to seeing your tunic this week. :)

      Thank you, Judy. 22 lbs since the first of the year. Just by sticking with watching what I'm eating, but not being too strict with myself. I seem to be at a standstill now though. Will keep trying.
      Glad you like the outfit. :)

      I had a few other "favorite" pieces that I'd hung on to for a looooong time in hopes that I could wear them again someday. Sadly, they were in a box in our basement at the last house we lived in and it got flooded. I tried to wash them, but they were not salvageable. This one was the only one that survived.
      But I'm ditching clothes that are now too big, even though a part of me says, "but what if I need those someday".... NO! I am NOT going to need them someday. haha Thinking positively! :)

    Congrats, indeed, on fitting into the skirt. That's lots of will power. Your outfit follows the column dressing in that the top and the background of the skirt are the same tone. Love the blue jacket...good color on you.

      I ended up liking the shoes even more than I thought I would...because they were very comfortable to walk in all day. Yay!

    I'm glad you dug out that skirt and are able to wear it again. It's gorgeous on you, and those sandals are perfect with it - the bronzes really work.

    Great thrifting, as usual! I think I detect a little boho action coming through with that cute skirt!

    Yes! Keep the skirt! So of the moment, and we all want to see the other options. Very you, this baroque print. I'm envy-green at the deal on your sandals. They look brand new, this season ... lucky you and you deserve the luck!

    Nice in your maxi skirt! I definitely say to keep it. And a more reason is that it is perfect with your bronze sandals!
