Style Peek: floral skirt + slouchy sweatshirt + knit beret


Happy Friday everyone! For all of you who sent me good luck wishes for my big Digital Day talk yesterday - the day was a big success and I met tons of great people. I'm definitely glad it's done and looking forward to a quiet weekend. Jack is going for one last fishing weekend and I'm going to hang out with Gus, catch up on my sleep and work on a new sewing project! 

I had been meaning to share last week's project with you. It's a super simple skirt with an elastic waistband and I followed this awesome tutorial. I tried a few new things, like lining and pockets and made some crazy mistakes on both! Ahem, more learning I guess! But, it's still wearable so I thought I would show it off - I wore it to my aunt's b-day dinner last weekend with a slouchy sweatshirt, tights and my new knit beret I picked up a few weeks back at Forever 21 for only $6.99! I love the deep rust colour and mixing fancy-ish skirts with casual sweaters and sweatshirts is a recent fave look of mine.
