Something New #27

Reactions: 
Right around Thanksgiving I bought this dress at TJ's because it was exactly what I was looking for.  The small and medium fit fine but they were super short, so I bought it in a large.  And it is still way to short, I was going to a nicer restaurant, I didn't want to wear leggings so I popped on this pencil skirt over it and I love how it turned out.  I originally wanted to wear a big gold statement necklace with this outfit, but I don't have one. I substituted for the gold skinny belt and alligator bracelet.
The over the knee socks are such a genius idea, I saw a girl in providence wearing them with a bright blue skirt and a turtleneck, I just loved the way it looked.  I had to literally hunt for plain black over the knee socks, I found these at Macy's. After that I saw a video that Carly Cristman made with them styled this way.   I am just obsessed.

I tried the fuller a-line skirt first because I liked the gold buttons, when I took the picture I realized it looked too school-girl.  I like the sleeker look the pencil skirt gives it.

I was also very proud of my makeup, it looked straighter from far away!

I also like the plain skirt more. You look so beautiful. I know DSW has black knee high and over the knee socks on clearance right now.

Super cut! I definitely agree with the change of skirt - the cut is much better for your outfit.
