No Need for Plum(b) Test-We Know We Are Vertically Gifted

I just have to explain the title in fear that some may not get it, and to be honest I may be stretching it but it still made me laugh. A Plumb test is to test an upright surface, to determine the vertical. Clearly we are vertically gifted around these parts, and in a Plum colored skirt this is where I landed with a title. Maybe it’s worse now that I explained it? Okay, let’s just move on shall we?

Anyways, happy Monday I hope you all had enjoyable weekends and got to do something outside, since the temps are finally rising. As Jenilee mentioned in our last post here I saw Randy Houser in concert for the second time Friday and it was great! I always appreciate when an artist sounds the same live as they do on the radio. I went with my roommate (and friend (ha) we always joke about this when we say roommates) and we had a blast! We also checked out a new to us restaurant in Milwaukee called Movida. They specialize in Tapas and Paella and definitely did not disappoint. They are a part of a restaurant group in Milwaukee and we have yet to be dissatisfied with one of their spots!

Saturday we grabbed some pictures with our mama which is always a favorite, because she is a posing master. She knows exactly how to tell us to twist, turn, and contort for the right shot. We wish we could bring her every time (and feature her more). Unfortunately it’s hard enough to schedule time just between Jenilee and I most of the time. Aside from the fun stuff, I got to finish (and start) my taxes, mend a pile of clothing that has been piling up for the last year, and celebrate a friends 30th birthday.

Let’s get to the good stuff, this outfit! I have actually been holding onto this skirt since the beginning of winter. It was part of a great sale, but it has just been too cold to wear it how I want. I was recently telling Jenilee, sometimes I feel like I can’t wear new items until we get the pictures we need for the blog. How silly is that? Keep in mind I only buy things I want/need/like so my main goal isn’t let me buy this to post, and never wear again. However, thinking I have to wait is comical to me. Yet here I am still doing it!

This skirt is easily a new favorite. It is a different material than any midi I own yet. It is a fairly light cotton and will carry me through Spring and Summer. I loved this outfit because it is a great transitional option with some warmth on top and Spring on bottom. The sweater I am wearing is another favorite from Asos. I will save you the full story, but if you want to know my full thoughts head over to our Yellow Floofer post here to hop on my soapbox. I especially love that this one is a versatile color and I have worn it so many times already.

I snagged this tassel necklace as part of an amazing Francesca’s sale and since the resin is rainbow I wear it with EVERYTHING. Jenilee also got some earrings during that sale that are multi colored tassels and she is also out there wearing them most days. It’s hard not to when they match virtually everything and people are complimenting them every day, am i right? Unfortunately due to a ripped earlobe, I can’t wear earrings anymore so I stick to the necklaces. Anyone else have this happen to them?

You have seen these heels over and over (and will continue to because I just got two more colors for my birthday) but we keep it real here. We can’t afford to buy things once to post and never wear them again. Our pieces are constantly circulating in and we hope this helps you do the same with your wardrobe. Our main goal here, is to have an approachable and attainable blog that you can shop and feel comfortable with. Because the end goal is us just trying to help you find clothing that fits correctly, not clothing that breaks the bank. With that being said, I cannot recommend these heels enough. You can shop them here and view some of our other favorites while you are at it!

All in all, this outfit kind of just made me feel like a great version of myself. I was comfortable, warm, and for me it’s workplace ready which is a huge part of my life.  I will be wearing versions of this on repeat. I think next up, I will try some sort of T-Shirt variation inspired by one of the very first outfits we ever posted on our blog. You can see it here!

Lastly, do you all like when we post the same pieces remixed or is seeing it on both of us of more valuable? We think it is incredibly helpful on other blogs, but if there is no interest here we can 86 it and keep on trucking. As always we want your feedback! Any thoughts, comments, concerns because we do this for you and want it to be as helpful as it can be. Happy Monday, Tall Fam!
