Milkshakes

milkshake skirt dangerfield

Summertime is definitely on its way out, so I'm determined to enjoy what warm days we have left. I think one of the best ways to do this is with the consumption of ice cream. I hadn't been to Pittsford Farms Dairy yet this year, so my mom and I headed out to enjoy some frozen treats before the end of the season... and of course, this milkshake skirt from Dangerfield Clothing was perfect for the occasion.

Other than bidding farewell to ice cream weather, I'm pretty excited for autumn. I can't believe October is right around the corner. I feel sorta "basic" for saying that I'm looking forward to sweater weather, fall foliage, hot chocolate, apple picking, and pumpkins (plus Halloween and my birthday)... but I do honestly love all those things and I shouldn't have to feel ashamed about that. I'll get into how annoying I think the "basic" backlash is some other time, but suffice it to say: like what you like. As long as it's not hurting anyone, don't let anyone make you feel badly about it.

Jammin'

dangerfield parisian skirt

Most of you know that I'd be hard-pressed to find a food-themed outfit that doesn't make me swoon. But when I saw this skirt from Dangerfield – complete with its delectable croissants, jars of cherry jam and polka dotted bows – I'm pretty sure I let out an audible yelp and waited all of 2 seconds to purchase it. I was absolutely powerless to resist the urge of these buttery breakfast treats and accompanying marmalade... which is a sentiment that also applies for when I'm faced with these foodstuffs in real life! And of course, as I am nothing if not thematic, I had to wear my Erstwilder preserves brooch to complete this yummy ensemble.

This skirt is a perfect staple for spring and summer; the fabric is a lightweight cotton, and the black and white checked pattern is so picnic-esque. I sized up to a UK 14 in this skirt after looking at the provided size chart, and though it fits fine, I probably would have been okay with my normal UK 12 as well. Since Dangerfield is based in Australia, I was afraid of receiving a too-small skirt, and I always remind myself that it's easier to have something taken in, if need be. As it is, it totally works (though I swapped out the belt it came with for something a bit sturdier) and, as I like to say, it leaves me with "eating room!"
