Not since my misguided and
oversized cargo pant phase have I allowed the crispness of khaki to touch my skin, but when I saw this cute Banana Republic skirt at my local thrift store ($4!) I figured it was time to forgive past indiscretions.

I topped the skirt with my
impressionist blouse and
tortoiseshell necklace to complement the
beigey brushstrokes, while a lilac cardigan added a layer of interest.

I am surprised at how much I like the final effect, especially since I was a little apprehensive about the skirt's short hemline, the shortest I have worn since my
aforementioned cargo pant days.
