First; if you live in the Queen City, I hope you visit this precious newly built space on the Greenway next to Metropolitan.  It is what I call Charlotte's answer to Bryant Park.  Next; I've had my eye on this skirt from Zara for the last couple of months.  One of the things I was most excited about for my trip to NYC was going shopping there.  I had so much fun putting together this outfit.  The vintage blouse and bracelet belonged to my Great-Grandmother.  I don't normally wear anything with a logo (except my Chaney), but I think these Tory Burch pumps from my favorite high end consignment boutique are just so good looking with the quilting, cap toe and gold detail on the heel. I am in love with my Zoe Lynn & Co. headband hand made by a college friend, and of course, my favorite going out bag.  Back to the skirt... I think there is an age threshold for short skirts, and this skirt is definitely on the mini side.  I will be 36 on my next birthday, but I don't FEEL like I look too old to wear it.  What do you think about women wearing short skirts as they age?  Do you agree about keeping things more conservative?  Could care less about age?

Thanks so much for reading!!

My Outfit:

Pants: c/o Woman Shops World (15% off entire shop through September using code QCSTYLE). Shirt: J. Crew (old), similar here. Shoes: Kate Spade. Sunglasses: Blinde, but here's a less expensive pair. Bag: JJ Winters, mine is from Lipp Boutique. Earrings: World Market. Cuff Bracelet: Sloan Boutique. Others: Stella & Dot, J. Crew, my Grandmother's. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany and custom by Diamonds Direct.

I told y'all I was crazy wild over these harem pants, and I cannot believe they are only $25!  This is the final pair I was lucky enough to bring home from my visit with the lovely and adorable Carter, owner of Woman Shops World.  Among the pairs upon styles upon fabrics available, it was all I could do not to come home with more.  I carefully narrowed my choices down to three.  Of all three pairs, these have the lowest inseam, allowing for a more dramatic harem style.  With so much color in the pants, I had lots of options for the shirt, shoes and accessories.  My new Kate Spade slingbacks (love!) were calling my name, so black it was.  I can't wait to show you tomorrow one more way I styled this same pair of pants.
