shirt dress take 2

I wanted to remix my new denim shirt dress as a shirt by layering it under a skirt a la E. from Academichic. But when I had the dark denim and black on together, it felt altogether too dark, so I brightened up with some pops of bright pink!

I think this is one of the first ever outfits that won an unsolicited compliment from the boyfriend. Something about the proportions maybe?

Or perhaps the incontestable flirtiness of the flowy scarf around the waist...
