Denim Skirts

Driving home today, I noticed a woman wearing orange espadrille wedges; bright and summery. Then I noticed her, and her friend's, outfits- nice basic shirts (orange to go with the shoes and her friend in a white) paired with perfect denim skirts- not an item i'd normally call "perfect" having worn many growing up. These were a nice dark wash and the cuts were fresh, flirty and summery- a-line and full. These women looked so well put together and seasonally appropriate. 

Then on the next corner, I saw an outfit that made me appreciate these two even more- tapered brown pants that were both too short and too tight and an ill fitting sleeveless knit. Sigh.
