The "Laura"

It is TIME!!

Time for skirts!! I decided that today was the day for my legs to get a little exposure to the world. As the days get progressively hotter, so does my office. The closest I get to wearing shorts is a skirt on those day.

Today, I feel like I am rockin' the "Laura."

The "Laura" is a classic. She would kill me if she knew that I had put this picture of her on here. This picture was from our sophomore year at college, which was about five years ago. Has it really been THAT long?? There are many pictures of Laura rockin' her signature look, but this was the only one where I found the entire look. Laura is famous for wearing a skirt, cute top, a denim jacket, and pearls. The pearls are usually worn as earrings, but today I choose to wear mine as a necklace.

As I finished getting dressed this morning, my thought was Laura would approve. I am wearing a cute skirt from K-Mart (which finding a skirt for a steal is also a Laura trait), a cute white shirt, my denim jacket, my pearl necklace, and my totally awesome knee-high brown boots.

Laura has had the same denim jacket for a long time, in fact it's probably the one that she is wearing in this picture. When Laura was graciously giving all her clothes away, she gave away her denim jacket. At this point, it was so worn that her elbows were poking through the sleeves and the jacket was so soft you wouldn't even know that it was denim. Her hubby-to-be missed her jacket (aka her staple) so much, that he requested that her jacket be returned to its rightful owner. Laura still wears her denim jacket proudly, in fact she was even wearing her jacket the last time I saw her (with a dress, and her pearl earrings).

When Laura gets married, I firmly believe that she should wear her wedding dress, her pearls, and her denim jacket over her dress.

It just wouldn't be the same without it.
