The Skirt Collector

Dress (worn as shirt): Forever 21; Skirt: Gap; Shoes: Target; Jewelry: H&M/Jess LC/purchased in Mexico

I can't remember where I saw it first, but I do acknowledge the fact that if it weren't for fashion/style blogs, it probably wouldn't have occurred to me to use a dress as a layering piece. I usually feel like I have a shirt deficit in comparison to my skirt collection, so pretending that my dresses are tops makes me feel like I have more tops to wear with my skirts.

I never thought of my skirts as a collection until I wrote the previous sentence. At different points of my childhood I collected rocks, dolls, coins, books, and beanie babies...now I collect skirts.

What clothing items do you collect?

And I have to give style blogs credit for educating me on the possibilities of dresses as shirts. And I can honestly admit that it never would have occurred to me without the blogosphere!
