B & W pencil skirt

I have a new love for pencil skirts. This is the outfit I wore on Sunday:

shirt: Fun & Flirt
skirt: White House | Back Market (THRIFT STORE)
shoes: Target

Cute?? Yes. Problematic?? YES. Holy cow, I can't tell you how many times I try a skirt on, thinking it's the perfect length, but then I sit down. That's  a l w a y s  the problem, for me at least. Knee length skirts are ideal for my standards, as well as the standards of modesty most of us know of!

So this skirt has an inch and a half hem on it, which means we can modify it. (We've done this with soo many skirts before it's not even funny!) So once I have that extra length from the hem, I'll have about an inch more on the bottom of the skirt, giving me more fabric to cover my knees more when I sit down.

ANOTHER huge problem I had with this skirt was a H U G E slit in the back... I have never had a slit this huge, and I realized it while I was running out the door (late for church already, I slept in 30min. more than usual because I'd felt a bit sick that weekend). So I quickly grabbed a big safety pin, but it broke off when I was walking out the door. SO I walked through church with a huge 7" slit in my skirt. Yea. I was not thrilled about this. I was walking like a robot with legs duct taped together. I asked my mom to help me pin the skirt asap. Neeeedless to say, we'll be sewing that up VERRY very soon here!

>>>Thankfully we are able to modify these major problems I'm having becasue this skirt is too cute to let go!!

necklace: Target
belt: I can't remember where I got this.

I've stated multiple times how much I love thrift store shopping. We have a Goodwill here, and it's fantastic. I go there when I want to find a certain item for an outfit or just feel like shopping--but not spending loads of money! I'm still in disbelief that I found this skirt at a thrift store! White House | Black Market is so classy and fun. I love window shopping there, but definitely not buying... Too pricey for me! BUT finding a cute item from there at a thrift store is a definite must-buy!! So thrift store shopping is well worth it. ;)
