That's what my mom said when I bought this skirt.
"But you don't like butterflies," she said hesitantly. What she meant is that I don't like butterfly prints. I kind of OD'ed on them in junior high-- butterfly clips, glitter, sparkly tees with dragonflies... I'm sure some of you get what I'm talking about.
However-- although this skirt is covered with butterflies-- the print is small and when I first grabbed it off the rack, I thought they were flowers. Cute little flowers. And the skirt is definitely not glittery.
Flowers or butterflies, I decided it didn't matter because for $3.99 the skirt was perfect. I honestly cannot get enough of mid-length pleated skirts-- especially when paired with heels. (perhaps I'm destined to be a librarian. A butterfly-loving librarian.)

linking up with the pleated poppy + momma go round!
I'll have the cute puppy sitting next to you ;D
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable girl, love that outfit !
I feel the same way about butterflies, however that skirt is so pretty! I would totally wear it too!
ReplyDeleteThis skirt is so cute. And I love it even more because it IS butterflies. I agree. PLeated midis are so wonderful. :)
ReplyDeletehaha! I was a butterfly girl in middle school too! I love this print though! The tiny print makes it seem less...butter-fly-y...ya know? :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way you wore it and if you are destined to become a librarian that you will have the best wardrobe of any librarian ever!! :)

That skirt is a lovely find! I'm still crazy about butterflies, although after using them as the theme for my wedding decor, I've definitely backed off them a little. You pull off that skirt length really well! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteOk dying over that photo of you and pup sitting under the tree!!! You're so cute! :] xo JA
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! I'd wear a skirt with a wasp print if it were that price ;)
ReplyDeleteJust found you on pleated poppy. I can't tell you how jealous I am that you found THAT skirt for THAT price!! I'm obsessed with butterfy print right now and your skirt is just...perfection. Loving your blog!!

I OD'd on butterflies too! I had some (now) embarrassing hair clips and binders and T shirts.
ReplyDeleteBut that skirt is gorgeous! And that last picture is almost Alice-in-Wonderland-esque. So pretty!
I love that skirt!! It's amazing! It kind of reminds me of a skirt my mom made me as a kid.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Rags to Stitches.
Happy Wednesday!
I had the same OD! I blame my mom...she bought my clothes in Junior High and I think it was a spill over from her obsession. She still wears them...along with her floral denim shorts that last summer I hated! Now UO, J brand, and Free People all have em and I'm trying to figure out how to smuggle them out of her closet without getting caught.
ReplyDeletethat's the perfect skirt - i've been searching for those types!
ReplyDeletewe are od-ed-on-butterflies-in-junior-high twinsies! but you're so right...this skirt is the perfect find! love it on you!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so beautiful! That tree provides such a great backdrop : )
ReplyDeleteAnd I also typically do not enjoy butterfly themed things, but I really like this skirt. Good job! ; )
That's a charming outfit!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a huge wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteNice skirt and I love the moss on that tree!
ReplyDeleteCute skirt!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Rags to Stitches giveaway. :)
Butterflies scare me. But I love midi skirts and you look lovely in yours!
ReplyDeleteI adore that skirt...so petty and feminine!
ReplyDeleteNesby looks like he's contemplating one of life's deep mysteries...
ReplyDeleteWhere does kibble come from?
And why do I only get it in the morning and night?
