Short sleeves. Yes. Here in Belgium, we’re dreaming about Spring out loud. It’s been nice and warm outside the past few days, and today I even went to class without my winter coat, wearing cropped jeans and open shoes. Pure bliss.
The mild temperatures allowed me to choose this 3/4-sleeved cardigan for my third shopping-my-closet outfit this weekend. I bought the cardigan several years ago, with a gift card that was nearing its expiration date. I always cling onto my gift cards until the very last moment and eventually spend them on something random. Same story with this cardigan. I took it home, folded it nicely and put it in my closet for almost a year. The next year I went through a phase where I wore it at least once every week. Over my marigold dress, my purple floral one, with skirts and jeans: the possibilities seemed endless. It made it onto the blog multiple times too! Maybe it was exactly the fact that I wore it so much, that eventually made me forget about it. It bored me, and felt like I had worn it in every way I could pair it.
When I started these series I promised I’d pair every wardrobe misfit, with a wardrobe favorite. That this maroon pencil skirt is a favorite of mine is no secret. And I have the proof! Seeing the collage below makes me even more sure I need Lightroom back. Desperately.
Ugh. Everyone is teasing me with these cute spring outfits and it’s not fair. We have snow coming tomorrow. Wah, wah. Anyway, enough about my temper tantrum. I’m happy for you that you are having such great weather!

Cute! That skirt is so versatile 🙂
Love all this pencil skirt inspiration! I know most people consider them wardrobe staples, but I sort of have a hard time working them into my everyday looks!
Ah! I love shopping my closet! It’s so satisfying! And these looks make me think I need a pretty wine-colored skirt in mine 🙂
What happened to your Lightroom?
Also, you look adorable in this outfit, but as pointed out, everything looks good with that pencil skirt 🙂
How wonderful you got a taste of spring! It’s the best. Good for your for shopping your closet as well, and rediscovering some old favorites!
Hi Nikki!!!

That skirt is beautiful on you, it’s easy to see why it’s a favourite! 🙂 Glad you were able to wear your cardi again too! 🙂

Claaassy! Ik vind driekwarts truien (en vooral jassen!) altijd zo verwarrend: moet ge ze nu dragen als het koud is of niet… :p Maar deze outfit ziet er wel perfect uit voor dit weer!
Ik vind die laarzen supermooi!
i love the idea of pairing a misfit with a favorite…i need to try that. and i love how your outfit turned out!
I love when you can style one piece of clothing so many different ways. That last look is my absolute favorite. Just perfect 🙂
