This outfit made me feel fun and playful all day. That full Boden skirt is oh-so-fun to twirl in, and wearing the tunic layered underneath the skirt helped me to keep warm while not having a thousand crazy mismatched layers on (which was my original outfit). Unfortunately, after spending a day in this outfit, I’ve come to accept the fact that this skirt really is a size or two small. I thrifted it for only a couple of dollars, so I’m not crushed. It has a small tear, so I can’t really re-sell it on Ebay. I’m going to see if I can alter it to fit me a bit better. Otherwise, there is one on Ebay right now at the right size, if I’m willing to spend about $50. I’ll try altering it first, and then we’ll see.
This outfit also gave me an opportunity to debut my new Dansko Sallys, which the lovely people at Dansko graciously gave to me for free. These shoes have so many amazing re-mixing possibilities. They’re very comfy, and I can tell that they’re going to work equally well with dresses/skirts and pants.
I think your clothes should make you feel happy. If they don’t, then you should find some that do. It’s not about price so much as it is about what makes you feel good when you wear it.

Hi and welcome! I'm Diana, and this is my blog, Smiles Go With Everything. As the title suggests, I write about a little bit of everything, but the majority of my focus is on style and sustainability and how the two interconnect. In between are sprinklings of baking, gardening, crafting, and whatever I feel like sharing.
Oh, Diana, I love this! The colors, the patterns, your smile. Everything about this outfit is so happy, and I love that.
Diana you just glow!
what a great burst of happy for winter!
The print on that skirt is SUCH fun!
I love the skirt! I really hope you can make it work for you!
SUCH a fun skirt!
LOVE this outfit! It all goes together so well. I’m saving it to use for future inspiration for myself.
That skirt is fun and looks good on you.It doesn’t look small at all.
And I’m seriously considering to buy one of those shoes , they look cut and extremely confortable.
You look so happy! I really love it, and the outfit looks awesome!
What a cute skirt and adorable picture. It really captures a sense of movement and joy.
The skirt looks like it fits, so don’t give up. You may be able to let out a few of the gathers at the top or perhaps lower down the waist an inch as it seems to get wider in fabric fairly soon.
