anthropologie bosky lace skirt styling options

greetings from the coffee shop! hope you had a lovely weekend, as now it is sadly winding down.

i have been busy, busy between work ramping up and my new place, i have't had a moment to spare! things are coming along in the apartment and i can't wait to share pictures with you. on friday night, i took a little trip to ikea and yesterday, i finished hanging an art wall in the entry way and creating a little entry way organization. before i share some snapshots, i wanted to let you know about the new addition to my closet.

i tried to avoid the bosky lace skirt by beth bowley, but it kept calling out to me. i went a full two weeks before trying on. then it was only a matter of days before it made it home... so what sold me? honestly, i loved it, but was unsure of what to wear with it. only after pairing with the loosened shelby blouse in the blue colorway was it a done deal:

what do you think? i just love it. the bright colors are so fun for the summer season.

i went with my true size. i could go a size down, but i actually liked this one worn a bit lower than my natural waist. because of the pleating in the front, wearing it higher gave me a little more pouf than i needed in my middle.

here's how i plan to make it work appropriate for tomorrow's debut:
