Borrowed

A few weeks ago I was having an outfit crisis and asked my best friend if I could borrow a black maxi skirt. Needless to say, I haven't returned it.

Normally, I swear, I'm really good about returning things, but she told me she bought this skirt in two different sizes, and prefers the other one... so I'm thinking I might just borrow this forever.

  1. "borrow this forever"--I love it. Well, she does have two, so I think you should go for it (and maybe buy her a drink or something)! I love your paisley top--I just bought a paisley printed shirt myself, I love that pattern right now!

  2. Woohoo, yay for stealing skirts ;)
    (and yea, stinks that it's not in focus, but I still like it anyway, ha ha...)

  3. Lyddie, I love the look. I have two black maxi skirts and I really need to incorporate them into my wardrobe more. One is very full and the other is body skimming and really sexy. I just can't seem to figure out how to wear them.
    You have nailed the look...yeah, that skirt should be yours!

  5. I like that term--"borrowing forever." It's so clever and innocent.

    But really, that skirt is fabulous on you, and a black maxi skirt (or any maxi skirt really) seems like a staple that so many people have that I probably need.

    Can I say that I really like that top, too? It looks so nice with all your gold accessories, oh la la.

  11. I seem to have only summer maxis... I think a black one would be nice, and some other darker colors for fall. I've recently realized that they're such great transitional pieces when you don't want to wear tights!
