This is what I wore to my television "debut". I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to appear on MY50 Chicago's Perspectives. I'll be discussing thrift shopping with my BFF girlgetalife. I probably wouldn't have done it otherwise. Public speaking IS my number one worst fear. There's no audience but it will be seen by lots of people I don't know. I also cringe at the sound of my own voice. Issues much?
I did it though. I'm starting 2012 off by stepping outside of my comfort zone. Time to shine! "Playing small does not serve the world." SN: I love the full Marianne Williamson quote.
Of course, I'll be linking to the video when it airs on the 15th.
Now on to what I wore:
I bought the turquoise leather pencil skirt during a 50% sale at Village Discount Outlet. I have never owned a leather skirt and never wanted one but I could not pass this one up. I love the color. Isn't it pretty? I paid $3.50 for it.
My plaid shirt is also thrifted. It's Benetton and appeared to be brand new judging by its appearance post wash. It was under $3 and its different from anything I have in my closet. I love the snap closures and extra long cuffs. I don't have a lot of red clothing. I must look for sequins and red on my next adventure.

What fabulously terrifying antics have you gotten into?
Colored leather? Yes or no? What colors are lacking in your closet?

I cannot believe you paid $3.50. That is crazy cool. And congrats on being on TV.
I have a pink patchwork suede jacket in my clost that I've never worn. But I had to have it.
@DaenelT I have some of those clothes too. What's that about? You should rock it and then blog it!
Don't you look cute!
I love that skirt and your blog!!!
I just started a new blog about men, love and relationships. I'd love if you stopped by to share your thoughts.

Love the outfit and the fact that you flew in the face of one of your greatest fears! Your 2012 is off to a great start and will only get better, keep it up!
I'm missing color period in my closet right now. So, I'm looking for anything not black, grey or brown or dark blue to add to my wardrobe. Love the outfit!
I am not much of a skirt wearer, but that skirt is a great color!! I love all things turquoise. :)
