Tuesday Outfit: Rocking the Skates

You may ask why I'm wearing roller skates today, and did I wear them for most of the day?  Well, I'd wager I wore them almost as much as I wore the red flats I took to work with me, and I took the time to make my outfit match the skates, so work with me here.  There is actually a reason I was wearing roller skates, and it is a long, sad story involving being stuck on the 10 with a flat tire late into the night, ending with me having to find alternate transportation to work today.  The obvious solution to all my lack-of-car woes is clearly a good pair of Roller Derby roller skates.

Favourite white skirt v2.0 - patterned off an old Gap skirt that I LITERALLY wore to pieces

White roller skates - a sports shop in Virginia

The shirt is for my current project, an awesome movie that you can all see in November called Arthur Christmas. We like our crew shirts at Imageworks, and I think someone decided that just maybe the Christmas show should make shirts for Christmas.  It was an inspired plan. And the skirt is seriously a staple item in my wardrobe.  I got the original at a Gap outlet on the east side of Michigan the summer after my sophomore year of college, and I took it everywhere with me and wore it out over the course of the next five years.  I tried looking for another skirt I liked as much, but it was no use.  I cut the old one up and used it to pattern a new one.  That went so well that now I'm planning on making it in different colours.  It is seriously the most comfy and excellently swirly skirt ever.  You will be seeing it often.  The leggings are mostly because it was chilly when I skated to work this morning and it gets a little breezy when you're skating around sometimes.  They are technically dance leggings, but that just means they're extra comfy.

Tomorrow there will be no roller skates, but it will be a sight to see.  I'm quite excited. Suffice to say, there is a silly work competition tomorrow, and I am all over it.
