Wearing tulle skirts can be tricky. I always feel like I’m treading thin ice when I wear one (I own a black one and I don’t wear it very often); I mean, a 28 year old woman darting around in a tulle skirt doesn’t seem a tad bit off to you? Maybe it’s because when I think tulle I also think tutu and my hips don’t need to be in a tutu. When I found this tulle skirt on Ruche I decided to take a risk, buy it, and of course wear it.
The other risk I took? Wearing my hair down. ARGHHHHHHH. When I wear my hair down I can feel it growing bigger and bigger by the second and all I can think of is “The Circle of Life” song because my hair starts to look like Mufasa (Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba!!!). Late last year I bought this clipless curling iron on Amazon for $50 and when I do attempt to curl my hair I use it. That thing is tricky, though, and I actually gave myself a terrible burn near my wrist!
See this lovely scenery? This is near my mother and father in loves home. I love visiting them because it remind me of my own home back in Delano. Cows, squirrels, the smell of manure and alfalfa…I love country living.
This is their nice lil’ pond in the front yard.
This button purse has been in my possession since 2003. It was my second purchase on eBay.
Your thoughts? Do you own a tulle skirt? Does your hair look like Mufasa’s? Do you prefer the city or the country?

i def think you can still pull off that skirt at 28! looks super cute!!!
I love that button purse! Great ebay find.
1. Love the bag it’s super cute and unique.
2. I love tulle! But I have to admit, I have a ton of it in my fabric stash that I’ve been a bit afraid to use.
3. Yes, my hair looks like Mufasa when I wear it down in the summer. I live in NC and the humid summers here are the enemy to my hair. I leave the house with curls and come home with a bush.
4. I love the city for it’s convenience but I enjoy the country as a get away from the city.
I love it!!!!

Haha as a natural I too have had Mufasa hair one time too many! Living in this crazy NC weather, you never know what your hair will look like at days end. Lol! I’ve learned to embrace my mane though..let somebody say something, they’ll hear my roar (jk)!

I am seriously obsessed with my tulle skirt. I wear it all the time. I stuck with black wanting to play it safe but this is lovely.
And that bag??? Shut up!

You are so funny Chandra! I think your hair looks very lovely down. I don’t own a tulle skirt but I do have 2 refashioned slips that I wear as skirts, I’ve worn them to church with blazers and I really like the look, without blazers I feel like it’s too much going on around my hips. You look very pretty. =)
You look SO pretty! Love that gorgeous skirt, and your clutch is so fun
