Dreams Do Come True

Top: T.J.Maxx (almost identical) | Skirt: ASOS | Shoes: Zara (similar) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff via Marshalls

If Lupita N'yongo (remember her?) has taught us nothing else, we've learned that a little brown girl's 
dreams are valid, too. 

Two of my wardrobe dreams were realized at the coming together of this outfit: (1) the quintessential Rebecca Minkoff bag (at 75% off retail!) and (2) the perfect full midi skirt... in mint! When I first wore this skirt for a previous post, I hadn't yet gotten the full revelation of just how amazingly versatile it is. Let me warn you - I'm officially a believer, so expect to see a lot more of it in the future.

Great – now that I've shared that with you, I can completely change the subject without a justifiable transition.

While writing this post, I was looking for a synonym for the word "perfect." I had a God moment when the results popped up, and I just had to share: Isn't it awesome how God exemplifies each and every 
meaning of "perfect?"
