Retro Mint Skirt Outfit Idea
I don’t know about you, but I am SO glad that Friday is finally here! It has been an incredibly emotional, stressful and trying week for me in more than one way. But I know first hand that things get better, which they will! 🙂
On that note, if you read this post from Wednesday, then you are well aware of some upcoming changes. My sister (aka photographer of these beautiful images) has decided on a whim that she will be moving 3 hours out of town. How this came about, I have no idea. This is truly hard to cope with for me because my sister and I have not always had the best relationship. Coming together for this blog has mended that relationship and created a bond that I had only dreamed of having. In creating this blog together, I have found something that I truly love to do and she has discovered a talent that she never knew she had.
As you can imagine, this may present many challenges in the future.While I will still post on my normal schedule, I will unfortunately need to cut down on outfit posts until I can figure out what to do. I’m awful with a self timer (like..horrid) and I don’t have the funds to pay for a photographer at this time so please bear with me through this change. And if any of you that use a self timer have tips to give me or inspiration to share, I’d love that! With that being said, I have a TON of posts planned for the summer! 🙂 I will still post outfits, but will also post things that I’ve been planning to for a while but haven’t quite had the time to do yet (and that may be quite useful to you!) such as a flower crown tutorial, a blogging series and a styling series among others. It will be an adjustment but you know what they say …the blog must go on!
Onto my outfit: If you’re wondering if this Retro Mint Skirt Outfit Idea is really as bright in the photos as it is in real life…it is! The mint color is so much fun and the scuba type fabric really makes it poof out, which I love. I paired it with a white chiffon top with a floral pattern that mimics the mint color of the skirt. Grey is one of my favorite neutrals so I wanted to incorporate that as much as I could. A grey leather bag is met with a glittering headband, bracelet and heels to finish off the outfit.
In happier news…..
our three year anniversary was this past Wednesday! Yippee!!

This week’s favorite look is from……..
What a cute and super easy DIY! This glittery headband would perfectly compliment any festival attire. Also, check out her t-shirt maxi dress tutorial. SO cute!

Thank you Kathrine! Me too 🙂
Happy Anniversary—that is especially wonderful!
Not having a photographer makes fashion blogging quite difficult. I haven’t used a self timer either, but for the summer, are there any kids around that you could teach them?
You have such a fabulous feminine style Lizzie—and this combo is no exception!

Thank you Jodie! Yes, it’s quite difficult. No kids around here, but my little brother is out for the Summer so I might recruit him when he has some free time 😀
First of all you look gorgeous. I love that skirt, is it recent from Charlotte Russe? Beautiful bag and bracelet too. Secondly, congratulations on your 3-year anniversary. I am so sorry about your sister moving away. Looking forward to seeing your posts and all the fun things you got planned for the blog and hope the photographer dilemma gets solved soon.
Last, you should stop by my blog and linkup. I also featured your gorgeous self last week, pretty lady, so come check that out. Welcome by and linkup. Have a great weekend, Lizzie!

Thank you Kali!
This is a great skirt and love how you styled it. Using a self timer is the worst! It takes me about 30 minutes to get 2 decent pictures instead of 5. Good luck!
Thank you for hosting and hope you are having a fab week!

Hope to see you for TBT Fashion link up.
Thank you Alice! Oh yes! I am awful at using a self timer. I tried again and remembered why I didn’t do that in the first place lol! Disaster!
Sorry to hear your sister will be moving, that is upsetting. Congratulations, on your anniversary! This look is beautiful, the color of your skirt is gorgeous!!

Thank you Elise! It is, but life goes on lol 🙂
Congrats on your anniversary! You created a lovely look and I love the color of the skirt!
Thank you Lanae 😀
Such a beautiful skirt Liz! Im so sorry to hear about your sister moving away, that’s tough. Im sure you can still be close – and do outfit photos when you see her every couple of weeks!!
In terms of getting outfit photos done, reach out to local photographers in your area (start scanning instagram) you can usually find new photographers that are just starting to grow their business and will work with you for free because of the benefit to them of the publicity of you showing their work!

Thanks Lee! Time will tell 🙂 That’s a really great idea! It’s definitely beneficial to both parties so it might be something to look into.
I love that bright midi skirt! That color is stunning on you!

Thanks Candace!
First of all, Congratulations on your anniversary and your look is fabulous! I love the colour of the skirt, and as always, your styling is impeccable! I’m sorry to hear about your sister moving away, but I’m sure you will keep the bond you have created through coming together for the blog and it’s great that you both have found a passion and talent thanks to the blog. As far as practical advice for finding a photographer I am struggling with this one too and I think Lee’s advice seems a good place to start. xx

Thanks so much Julia! It was a very difficult and dramatic situation, but I know that it will all work out 🙂
What a gorgeous skirt! I love the color. So sorry to hear about your sister moving. I have my husband as my photographer, I can’t even imagine how difficult using a self timer would be. Hopefully you can work something out.
Thank you Amy! It was pretty difficult especially since it came out of nowhere, but you know…these things happen and life goes on. 🙂 I had “try outs” for my husband and he didn’t too bad! I tried the self timer again and I just can’t get it right lol!I have huge respect for those that do it that way!
