I recently bought a skirt I had fallen in love with at the store. And then I got home and totally started second guessing myself. Is it flattering? Will I wear it enough? Do I have anything to actually wear it with?
When you find yourself in a situation like this, do 3 things:
1. Pick out 3 pieces ALREADY in your wardrobe that you can pair with your new item
2. Take a photo. It will help you get some perspective and see what you actually look like in the new piece
3. Wait a day or two before you wear it. If you’re still thinking about it, you’re set
I took some time, put together a few outfits with the skirt and fell in love with it all over again. And then promptly spilled sauce on it. #klutz
I will be in Seattle showing the boy around the city! Follow along for updates and have a wonderful weekend. HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Great tips and I love the skirt! Your minimal styling looks so chic and edgy! Perfect!

thank you 🙂
Love the shades and booties!
Love this outfit! I’m considering buying the Mackage Rumer jacket, and was wondering if you had any comments about the quality and size. Have you found it to fit true to size, or did you size up/down? Your blog is amazing, by the way! xx
Author
thank you! yes I sized down on the Rumer as I wanted it to be fitted and had heard they stretch out almost a full size… it’s soft like butta and one of my favourites jackets!
Hi, are you still happy with sizing down? I’m trying to decide between xs and xxs.. thanks!
Author
Yep, still love the XXS!
Has your rumer jacket stretched out yet?/Are you still happy with sizing down? I have an xxs and its quite snug, and just wondering if I made the right choice, and what size exactly did you get? LOVE your style!
Hi Jen, I’m in the same situation. Did your jacket stretch? Are you happy with the xxs? Thanks!
Has your xxs since stretched out a full size? I have the same dilemma. I also have an xxs but I have yet to wear it for more than a month. Still fitting snug
Author
Hi ladies, sorry the delayed reply! My jacket definitely stretched and I love the sizing. That being said, I don’t really do it up and if I did it would be quite snug.
Hope that’s helpful!

About the jacket, I have one that looks almost identical from Joe Fresh and I got it on sale for $30 just in case anyone is looking for a cheaper option!
Jill! I adore your style. Effortless and chic! I have the same skirt as you, and plan on taking it to Europe this Spring/Summer along with the black one — would you style it with black booties as well?
Author
Thanks Melissa! Definitely, I think black booties would look great. Just make sure that you can still see some of your ankle (preferably the skinniest part, about an inch above your ankle bone) so the skirt and boots don’t swallow you up. I’m not sure how tall you are, but because I’m short, I have to be careful of that! Have fun in Europe! xx
Thanks so much!!
Hi Jill. I’m just curious what height and size you usually are? I’m trying to figure out what size Mackage rumer jacket to get…
