Medium Brown Knee Length Linen Skirt

Spring is coming, and it’s time to get the light skirts out of the closet. Not too light,
though; as we all know, spring can be fickle. But it’s the time of year when bare calves can
again peek out from under our hemlines!

Thus, it’s time for the warm-weather debut of my very favorite skirt, a knee-length linen one
with gores to give it fullness and swing. It’s a nice medium brown that goes with many spring
tops, and the color also makes it easy to ignore any little bits of dirt that messy spring
weather may present me with.

Being a full skirt, it helps define my waist (a consideration for those of us who are carrying
a few extra pounds), and the flattering knee length also makes me look a little taller. With
tights it’s OK for those days when March is being a lion; with nylons and great shoes it’s
good when the weather warms up too. And the really great part is, since it’s a skirt it’s a
little more formal than slacks in the same fabric would be, so I can wear it dressed up or down
depending on the occasion.

Women’s Clothing at Maurices

My favorite place to shop for women’s clothing is Maurices. I am a substitute teacher when I shop, it is usually shop for professional attire. I am always able to find several appropriate and stylish choices at Maurices. They provide a variety of slacks in appropriate hues and blouses in several colors and fits. I have a store credit card that can be used and paid off immediately if I choose. This card allows me to recieve several discount options in the mail. In addition to the store card, I have a punch card that earns me a 10% discount after it has been filled.

Ann Taylor Black Wool Sweater

My favorite winter wardrobe piece is a black wool sweater I bought from Ann Taylor. It comes down below my hips and hides a world of sins, especially during the holiday season. It goes well with a skirt or a nice pair of slacks. It even goes great with a pair of jeans. It fits close to the body, so its not bulky. The sweater has buttons up the front and sometimes I button it halfway. I would suggest every fashion savvy woman to get a sweater like mine. It also has pockets in the front so you can slip in a lip gloss.

Birkenstock Sandals

My favorite item in my wardrobe has to be my Birkenstock sandals. I have the classic Arizona two-strap sandals that they have been making in Germany for eons. Mine are black suede and are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. I have had them since 1999 and had them resoled once. They go with just about any outfit I own and you can dress them up or down. They aren’t good for formal wear, but with slacks or jeans or a simple black dress, they are wonderful. If you keep your toenails painted and throw on some silver toe rings, there is hardly anywhere you can’t go in these glorious sandals. I own seven pairs of Birkenstocks, but these are my all-time favorites. Its like wearing your house-slippers everywhere you go! The BEST shoes on the planet!
