Comfortably Overdressed

I've been accused on occasion of over-dressing.  So, on my recent vacation to Universal Studios in Orlando, I was given strict instructions to "wear sneakers" and "dress sensibly."  Well, this is as "sensible" as I get.  For me, vacation is like 50% about the outfits.  The other 50% is about the food.  I wore sneakers, albeit covered in glitter, and my skit had an elastic waistband.  I call that damn practical.

Stripes, Floral, and Discount Ted Baker

It's no secret that I love pretty much everything Ted Baker, but it's probably also pretty obvious that I don't like the prices.  Therefore, I am a frequent visitor of the Bloomingdale's clearance rack and a one-time visitor of the Ted Baker Outlet.  The Ted Baker Outlet is in Las Vegas, which explains my infrequent (singular) visit.  I did come away from a recent trip with this gorgeous skirt.  Every season I love the full skirts that Ted Baker comes out with.  And I was happy to only pay $100 for this one.  Yes, $100 is still a lot of money for one skirt...one skirt that I can't wear to work and need a fancy party to attend to even let it out of my closet. But, it's just so darn pretty!

If you can't tell from these photos, I am wearing a crop top.  Yep, something I never thought I would do.  However, this is the only way I would ever wear a crop top...no exposed belly.  I am in my thirties, there is no reason my belly should be exposed.  I think pairing a crop top with a high waisted skirt is the way to go.  You stay modest and appropriate and it's like killing 2 trends with one stone?  That turn of phrase doesn't actually work,but I think you get my point.
