September Snow Can Suck It

In case you missed it, I shared something new and exciting on Facebook... the Monday Style Prompt!  Every weekend, I will issue a style prompt to help you figure out what to wear on Monday morning and get the week off to a stylish start!  This is the perfect fashion challenge IMHO for a few reasons:

1. Monday mornings are the worst.
2. Month-long fashion challenges are hard to maintain (EXCEPT of course Black Out Style which is really just an excuse to go shopping)
3. Daily style prompts can be a bit intimidating and sometimes a bit too general for my liking

I have no prizes, no nothing except an appreciative nod if I see someone walking around rocking the prompt (thank you Megan) and my undying gratitude if you take a selfie and tag me @VVBoutiqueStyle and/or use the hashtag #MondayStylePrompt (thank you Sunshine SLP).  It's just for fun, because life is too short to not have fun, even on a Monday, even when that Monday is in September and even when that September Monday is covered in SNOW!  I for one feel like Snow has had its fair share of attention on the Internets today so I'm not going to give it much more except to tell it, as nicely as possible... (see title).  Snow, I'm not done wearing skirts and dresses WITHOUT leggings or tights and I only just got comfortable wearing socks with my skirts, so don't go pushing your luck making me wear them daily.  In fact, I'm going to pretend like you don't exist in September.  October is more than soon enough.

With this attitude, I went ahead and wore what I had planned to wear for the inaugural Monday Style Prompt: "grey top + bright bottom"...

Banana Republic pink and grey striped tee $12 consigned from reFind Clothing

Pink skirt $7 and Indigo by Clarks booties $13 VV Boutique

$4.25 locket from Community Projects Inc. in Napa

Socks and sweater from my closet B.T. (Before Thrifting)

My look was inspired by a blogger I just discovered after spotting her grey top-bright bottom outfit in the September People Style Watch, Amy Ann Arnolds from the Real Arnolds.  Simple, stylish and accessorized! 

Grey is my comfort colour.  Perfect for days like today.

I added the striped tee because Snow.

 

My daughter already asked if she can have this locket when I die she grows up.

This Cleo skirt is a stretchy structured knit with flattering tailoring.

Don't stare at my knees too long or it will get weird for both of us.

I know of at least four other people who took on the Monday Style Prompt - THANK YOU!  I had fun and I hope you did too!  I created a Pinterest Monday Style Prompt board in case you like the idea but need a little more inspiration (or if you just like to look at nice outfits!).

A little snow won't stop me from wearing a perfectly skirty outfit.

Stay tuned because I will issue the next Monday Style Prompt next weekend - I think we will have a lot of fun with this all winter autumn long!

Thoughts behind my expression: 

"This snow can suck it.  I wonder if I can say that on the Internet..."
