American Apparel Accordion Skirt
Tuesday June 28, 2011
I bought this skirt yesterday. I have been eying their skirts for weeks now. I got black. It’ll be easy to wear year round plus I can wear it to work too! :deco14: I wore it like this to work today. :deco12:
I really like how this skirt feels especially when walking. :zzz: It swishes around effortlessly and the fabric feels cool and almost silky. :deco15: It blows in the wind quite romantically as well. Found that out while waiting for the train today. :deco8:
I also put satin shoelaces on my black oxfords last night. They remind me of tap shoes now :)! I took tap and jazz (among other things) as a child. So now these feel a little nostalgic to me. :deco5:
And from new to old…. these polka dot flats!! :deco2:
I bought them probably 6 years ago. :deco13: I used to wear them a lot with thick socks. They were always a little big and slipped off my feet. I haven’t worn them in years. :;_;:
I bought some of my new favorite heel grips for them and brought em into work! :ok: I keep a few pairs of non-favorite shoes at my desk on days I don’t bring in a pair to wear. I take the train & walk a lot to my office so I wear comfy old flats into work, then change into nicer shoes. :) These will be good to wear on days I’m feeling “fun” at the office haahaaa :P:suki:
The pads I’m loving right now are these heel pads from CVS! Unlike other heel pads they are extra textured, a little wider, and a little thicker. So they’re GREAT for shoes that are constantly slipping off. :ok: I put them in shoes that are just too big. I use regular, sleeker heel pads for shoes that already fit pretty well.
So anyway, I’m feeling better today. :) Finally woke up without a splitting headache at least. Still taking Advil for aches plus some fatigue. :deco8:

i neeeeed some of those heel grips!! the flats i bought a couple months ago have now stretched out and are starting to slip off a bit. more annoying than anything else, bleh.
and i LOVE that new skirt. haha i love long, light skirts that can blow around “romantically”~

I’ve been trying the walgreens one but they don’t really stay put like they should. I think I will have to stop by CVS now~
I love the AA skirts too! I’ve been wanting their pleated maxi skirt, but they are so darn expensive!
Glad that you are feeling better! I am also taking advil to rid myself of fatigue and minor headaches :(
-

both shoes look pretty!!!!!!!! and really in vintage/retro style. U have such a nice taste Jenny. I’m impressed :D !

Good to know you’re feeling better! I am trying to look for a plain swishy midi skirt like this but I can’t find a budget one for my tiny stature – most midi skirts turn into maxis for me! I know what you mean about skirts romantically blowing in the wind, I love wearing this one dress of mine because it does that and i’m always like ‘wheee i’m a princess! XD’
-
awww what a lovely skirt~ it is perfect because you have so many options…so many different combinations~
Tap dancing!!! That’s so awesome~
-
Wow how do you keep your shoes looking so new? I wear mine far too much that they all look scruffy after a few months lol ;)
-
Wow, where in the world did you manage to find satin shoe laces?! I wanted to switch the laces on my oxfords for the longest time… I was thinking about giving up and just putting black ribbon through, but it would be nice if I could find something with proper shoelace ends (I have no idea what they’re called lol).
-
It’s good to hear you feel better! ^^
That skirt looks really comfortable and those polka dot flats are cute! I love the pattern on them.
-
Lovely skirt and shoes
-
Cute outfit :) I’ve been looking for a maxi skirt but I can’t seem to find any that I would like. Oh well. And thanks for the recommendation. I have a pair of kitten heels that I would love to wear but always slip off.
-
Love the skirt i still havent gotten around to wearing my maxi skirt :D
-
I just realised you dress a little bit like Summer from 500 days of..summer :P GAWGUS.
-
nice, i was checking their skirts yesterday too! haha XD
love the satin shoe laces! -
omg I bought a really similar accordion-pleat skirt at H&M in the city last week~ so much love!! I really like the midi-length too~ yours looks fantastic :D I can’t wait to see how you coordinate it for casual wear too!
-
Cute as always! Maybe what I ought to do is if in doubt buy heels a little bigger and then get those insoles for them–my heels tend to fit well in the store and then scrape the flesh off my toes when I wear them for extended periods of time! ;(

The skirt is super cute, great for office or a dinner date. n___n I feel like a lot of skirts are way too short these days so I’m really loving any dress/skirts that goes below the knee. Pretty yet classy at the same time!
Glad you’re feeling better.
