Ya girl is the self-proclaimed biggest fan of the library to ever walk the earth 🌍 Okay, that could be an exaggeration, but most of the time it doesn’t feel like one. I cried with happiness over my first library card as a kid, and I won’t purchase a book until I’ve borrowed it from the library and loved it enough to own it. I have 5 library cards, swear by Libby and Hoopla for all of my audiobooks and ebooks, and at this point, I feel like an Arthur tattoo might be necessary (IYKYK) 😂

But I digress... February is National Library Lovers’ Month, and I think you should get a library card (or 5) and celebrate not only the perk of FREE BOOKS but also the countless ways public libraries are integral to our lives and communities! 🙌🏼

What was the last library book you checked out? 📖

Since then, I have recommended it to countless people, and have felt intense amounts of joy as I’ve seen those people recommend it to others, buy copies for friends, suggest it for their book clubs, and come back to me to tell me how it changed their life just like it changed mine 🥰

Which book would you say changed your life for the better? 🤎

The Midi Skirt Outfit You’ll Want to Wear Right Away

Midi skirts can seem tricky to style, but this is one summer midi skirt outfit you can copy right now with the pieces you already have in your closet!

Sometimes you pick up a clothing item on a whim, only to get home and think, “now how do I style this? It looked so cute in the store!” I’ve done this many times, and without fail, Pinterest has been my go-to spot to get inspiration.

Not-so subtle plug: are you following my Pinterest page yet? Because if you aren’t, you should click here and get to pinning!

Needless to say, I took to Pinterest to glean inspiration for this very outfit, and come up with the simplest styling I could possibly imagine: a tee and some heels. Girl, I can almost guarantee there’s a white tee and a pair of white shoes in your closet right now. If you’ve got those on hand, you’re set!


Outfit Details
skirt c/o Chicwish | similar tee | similar heels | sunglasses | similar necklace | earrings | bag c/o Amerii

Let’s break down this midi skirt outfit.

One of the things I noticed most while doing my “research” (AKA scrolling through Pinterest) was that 90% of the midi skirt outfits were of gals who just wore their skirt with a simple tee, simple shoes, and dainty gold accessories. Sometimes there was a leather jacket involved. Other times there was a belt or designer bag. But the formula of tee + skirt + shoes seemed pretty foolproof.

I have a slew of midi skirts in my closet, and I love them to death. I can’t say I’ve experimented too much with different pairings, but I will say that this particular combo makes me feel confident and fabulous – and I think it’ll make you feel that way too!

Midi skirts are my absolute favorite! They’re so stylist and also very classy. I feel very “business” when I wear mine. I’m not sure I’ve ever worn them with a plain tee shirt, but it’s such a cute and effortless look. I love the simplicity. Thanks for sharing, Stephanie!
