Stoop Kid

ALL IMAGES KIMBERLY J.

“Stoop kid’s afraid to leave his stoop! Stop kid’s afraid to leave his stoop.” If you are somewhere around my age {I’m 27}, then you already know that this was the GREATEST EPISODE from Hey Arnold! Man, Nickelodeon used to kill it with cartoons back in the day. Hey Arnold! was definitely a favorite of mine and my sisters. We also loved Doug and As Told By Ginger. While flipping through these photos of me casually hanging out near a stoop, I knew I had to pay homage to the “Stoop Kid” episode. haha. In fact, I think I am gonna watch it on YouTube later! Ok, I will now get back to our regularly scheduled programming {aka fashion}.

The older I get the more I love skirts. Skirts are ultra feminine, comfortable and in my opinion, easy to style. I definitely have a couple of different skirt looks lined up for you guys for the coming weeks and wanted to share this one first. Also, I should mention, I have a plentiful amount of looks from NYFW to still share with you, but I wanted to break up all the Fashion Week talk with something non-fashion week related! I hope that’s ok with y’all.

One print that’s been growing in momentum lately is the jacquard print! I personally love it and have been itching to get my hands on something jacquard. Well, a few weeks ago I got this lovely Mardi Gras inspired skirt from Shabby Apple {thank you Shabby Apple for this lovely piece!} and instantly fell in love. I was really captivated by the shape and coloring of this skirt. If you’ve been following fall trends, then you already know that prints are a pretty big deal for the season. To give this look even more of a fall vibe, I paired her with a mustard yellow mockneck, which really helps to pull out the coloring in the skirt. Of course, I went with neutral accessories because it’s practically all that I own. I really do have a nude problem…haha. Perhaps the thing that makes me most excited about this look is how the shape of the earrings perfectly compliments the shape of the jacquard print! I love those moments in styling when you find cool suprises, such as these interesting details that further enhance the overall aesthetic of a look!

Ok, I’m off to play in the streets! Maybe I’ll even find a cool stoop here in Charleston to hangout on. haha. No but seriously, we are on family vacation and I made a promise to disconnect just a bit in order to really enjoy my family and to simply live in the moment!
