I've always been a fan of bright denim, even before it was trendy. Well, I'm a fan of bright anything, so when I found a pair of purple jeans at the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale, I threw them in the bag.

Since I'm not fully ready to show the world my belly button, I paired the top with a high waist skirt, also from Housing Works, where I walked away with clothing for 35 cents a piece.

I normally don't like skirts this length {it's a few inches shy of being a maxi} but how could I ignore that pattern and built in belted waist. Gorgeous!
