Camis and Midi Skirts With Mimco Teal Cocoon Bag

Two simple midi skirt and cami outfits, with my Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag, for office days recently. I would usually cover up a spaghetti strap cami with a blazer for in the office, but these were such hot and humid summer days I didn't add a layer for the commute. I always have a cardigan at my desk at work though, that I used on both these days to cover up my shoulders when working.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold stud ball earrings
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Cami: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: no label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This pretty brown floral print midi skirt looks so good with the plain mint cami! I liked the colour pairing together, and then I went a little more matchy-matchy, with the white Converse, and the wooden accessories matching the brown and white on the skirt. Even though the wooden necklace and wooden beaded bracelets are different shades I liked them together with this skirt. 

I added the teal Mimco cocoon bag, although it is completely different from the pale green of the cami I thought it was a nice accessory and I have been reaching for it a lot lately. Was a great outfit for a busy office day, and I appreciated the tiered maxi skirt and spaghetti strap cami keeping me cool when I was outdoors in the humidity on the way too and from the office. Great first wear for this pretty skirt I got for Christmas as well.


Last worn: wooden necklace, wooden bracelet set, mint cami, floral midi skirt, white Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bag. 

Other ways to wear: mint cami and shorts, midi skirt and grey tee, white Converse and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Top: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes:  Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Another cami and skirt combination, this time with a printed cami and a linen button up midi skirt. Last time I tried this midi skirt with a printed top I wasn't too sure about the resulting outfit, but I really liked this one! This cheetah print cami, like most animal print, really goes with everything! I added a little more blue to this with the blue Converse and navy beaded necklace. Although unlike the accessories in the first outfit they don't really match, I like wearing different shades of blues with this skirt.

And again I wore my teal Mimco cocoon bag, it's just such a great crossbody bag for all my essentials as I carry my laptop in a work-issued laptop bag.


Last worn: cheetah print cami, navy beaded necklace, blue linen midi skirt, blue Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bag (above).
 
Other ways to wear: cheetah print cami and shorts, blue linen midi skirt with green, blue Converse and dress, teal Mimco cocoon bag and shorts.

Linen Tiered Dresses and Falabella Bag

Converse, linen tiered dresses and my thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag for office wear recently.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Dress: Anko Kmart short sleeved tiered linen dress in coco brown
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle, Vinnies green glitter resin bangle and Polka Luka teal resin bangle
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

It was a very hot and humid day with an afternoon storm predicted, so I wore this brown linen tiered dress to the office. It's so nice on hot and humid days like this was. With the neutral brown, I added more colour with the teal tassel earrings, and then continued on with green accessories with the wooden beaded necklace and the fun resin bracelets.

I went matchy-matchy with the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag and the black Converse too. A nice and practical outfit. I managed to miss the worst of the storm in the afternoon, as we watched it blow through the city and into the suburbs from the office. And thankfully I was able to take another route home after the storm hit our suburb and caused significant damage. There was just some plant damage in our garden from the hail for us, we got off lucky!


Last worn: teal tassel earrings, geometric beaded necklace, cream resin bracelet, teal green resin bracelet, green glitter resin bracelet, brown linen dress, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: brown linen dress and pink bag, black Converse and jeans, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

Another day in the office and another linen tiered dress. This was back at the end of January before school went back, so after wrapping up my work day the kids and I spent some time at the museum and they had fun looking at insects. Although not as humid as the day above, I still appreciated this cool linen dress on the hot day. It's such a cheerful colour too. 

With the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag against the orange dress, I added white accessories to stop it looking too Halloween-ish, with the white threaded faux pearl necklace and the white Converse.


Last worn: pearl earrings, faux pearl necklace, orange linen dress, white Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).

Other ways to wear: orange linen dress and denim jacket, white Converse and shorts, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and jeans.

Midi Skirts, Grey Tees and Aqua Mini MAC Bag

The first few weeks back in the office in January before school went back were pretty quiet, so I took the opportunity to wear some casual grey tees to work.

What I wore:

Earring: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: no label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco urban bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

I got this pretty midi skirt for Christmas from one of our pre-Christmas shopping trips, this one is from the opshop shopping day before Christmas. I found it online and so I'm pretty sure it's from Kmart. It's a lovely neutral brown print, so I wore it with more neutrals with the grey tee. To try dress it up a little more for a day in the office I added this statement necklace, it's so fun with all the faux pearl beads. I could have added a blazer to this to make it even more formal, but the day was too hot to want to layer.

I wore my white Converse to be a little matchy-matchy with the skirt, but decided to wear my little aquamarine mini MAC bag for a pop of colour. It's so nice against greys, and other neutrals like I'm wearing in this outfit, and carries all the essentials I need for work as I carry my laptop in my company issued laptop bag.


Last worn: Mimco silver earrings, beaded statement necklace, white Converse, aquamarine mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the tee and the skirt as they were a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: white Converse and shorts, aquamarine mini MAC bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: aquamarine mini MAC bag in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco urban bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

Even though this is the same outfit formula as the one above, this outfit felt much more casual. Not sure it it was the softer tee or the linen skirt, or a combination. I still loved this outfit for a quiet day in the office though. There were so few people there, most working from home or still on leave, so I smashed through a lot of work and so many meetings at my desk.

It's the first time I've worn this aquamarine mini MAC bag with this silicone necklace and it definitely won't be the last, they pair so nicely together. I wore my blue Converse as well for more matchy-matchy with the blue linen midi skirt.


Last worn: grey tee, silver earrings, silicone necklace, blue linen midi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: dark grey tee worn 30 ways, blue linen midi skirt with navy, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

Kmart Floral Print midi Dresses And Small Chloe Paddington Bag

Making easy summer office outfits with both of these Kmart floral print midi dresses - instant outfits for busy days. I accessorised both of them with my little Chloe Paddington bag, it's been a while since I've worn it and it was overdue a wear. It's heavy, but looks so pretty sitting next to me on my desk at work.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: Silhoupette gold plated Shih Tzu necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

This black floral print midi dress is so pretty! I like wearing it to the office but I've worn it a lot casually outside the office too. It's not the first time I've worn it with sneakers, I like a good dress and sneaker combination. It is the first time I've worn it with these particular sneakers though, as I got them from the kids for Christmas. We were school shoe shopping last year when I tried them on and my son offered to buy them for me with his money. He's so sweet.

With the beige logo on the white sneakers the little beige small Chloe Paddington bag seemed like a nice matchy-matchy choice. I just love this adorable little bag, even if it's not the most practical with the giant padlock. It's good for taking just the essentials to the office, as a I have a work issued bag for my laptop.


Last worn: heart stud earrings, silhouette necklace, black floral print midi dress, Chloe small Paddington bag. First time I've worn the Nike sneakers as they were a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear:  black floral print midi dress and leather jacket, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Another floral midi dress and white sneakers outfit! These Converse are super comfortable and came in helpful - I was running around between different floors for meetings most of the afternoon! I had picked this dress to wear as I had to give a big presentation in one of those meetings, and this dress always looks professional and gets compliments.

I wasn't sure about the little Chloe Paddington bag with it, it doesn't match the white floral print on the dress, but I do like the neutral with the teal and I was glad I picked such a cute bag for the day. Even if I didn't get to admire the bag sitting on my desk much as I was running between meeting rooms!


Last worn: pearl earrings, initial necklace, teal floral midi dress, white Converse, Chloe small Paddington bag (above).

Other ways to wear: teal floral midi dress worn 2 ways, white Converse and skirt, Chloe small Paddington bag and blazer.

Blazers, Midi Skirts and Mimco Bags

Breaking out the blazers and midi skirts for slightly cooler office days in Brisbane, just before Christmas.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: candy cane hoop
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I love wearing this green broderie midi skirt in December, it feels like it's been on frequent repeat lately! I really liked the bright green with the cobalt blazer, it's such a nice mix of green and blue. Added the neutral grey marle tee with the bold colours, and plain white Converse and black Mimco crossbody bag for more neutrals. I wasn't sure on a necklace for this outfit so I went with the turquoise one as a mix of blue and green, but looking at the photos after I do think the navy beaded necklace I also considered may have been better.

It was a quite relaxed day in the office as we had a colleague's family come visit us for a bit in a gap between meetings which was lovely.


Last worn: cobalt blazer, turquoise beaded necklace, grey marle tee, green broderie skirt, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and dress, grey marle tee and mini skirt, green broderie skirt in Christmas outfit, white Converse and denim, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer
Earrings: candy cane hoop earrings
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Tank: Kmart teal tank
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This was a slightly wetter day, still as cool as the one above though so a blazer was a good layer to add to this outfit. I needed the blazer over the singlet in the office as well to cover up my shoulders in this tank for meetings, but it was appreciated on the cooler morning commute as well.

Just like in the outfit above, I liked the marle top with the midi skirt. This leopard print one is an opshop fave. The blazer is an opshop find also, as is the beaded statement necklace. With the black blazer matching the black Converse, and the black in the leopard print of the skirt, this was a nice matchy-matchy outfit. I'd thought that the teal marle singlet would be a good match with the Mimco cocoon bag, but decided to wear them anyway when I put the bag on and realised it wasn't as close a match with the teal tank as I'd have liked. I still thought they looked good together.

Last worn: candy cane earrings, black blazer, beaded necklace, teal marle singlet, leopard print midi skirt, black Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and jeans, teal marle singlet and dress, leopard print midi skirt and red, black Converse and jeans, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black blazer in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Animal Print and Black Office Outfits With Purple Bags

Two leopard print tops outfits with black, and purple bags for the office. These are two very differently layered outfits for the varied weather in Brisbane back at the start of summer.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Shirt: Anko Kmart button up batwing sleeve leopard print shirt
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I scored this shirt in my sister's wardrobe clear out and I love it! I like the batwing sleeves and it's perfect with this little black skirt for the office. With the black skirt and the black Converse, I added the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for a little extra colour.

This outfit was so good for a busy day in the office, but I was not as happy with it on the commute and the school run. The shirt is polyester and it's quite thick so while it was perfect in the office aircon it was really hot outside of it! Maybe something I wear a little less in the warmer months, as I love it too much to let it leave my wardrobe to go in the donation bag just yet. It will come in really useful when the heat in Brisbane finally lets up later in the year.


Last worn: charm necklace, black zip detail skirt, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. First time I've worn the leopard print shirt.
 
Other ways to wear: black zip detail skirt and blazer, black Converse and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: black pencil skirt in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

I need a few more layers on this wetter summer day, it was quite cool after being cloudy and rainy most of the week. The shirt above would have been perfect for this kind of day! Instead I was wearing my cheetah print cami, with my Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and then the grey blazer on top for a little extra warmth and to cover up the spaghetti straps of the singlet in the office. It's not the first time I've worn this blazer and cami together before, I really like the combination.

I felt this outfit needed a little more colour than the outfit above so I went with a darker purple bag, this Balenciaga work bag that I adore. It's huge but very lightweight and easily fits everything I need for a day in the office inside, with lots of room to spare. It doesn't match the lilac necklace at all, but I liked the two different shades of purple with all the neutrals in this outfit.


Last worn: grey blazer, cheetah print cami, lilac necklace, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga purple work bag.

Other ways to wear: grey blazer and skirt, cheetah print cami and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and leather jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Balenciaga purple work bag and wrap dress.

Pink Kmart Dresses and Teal Mimco Bucket Bag

Trying a colour combination I haven't worn before, with my teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and some pink Kmart dresses. I ended up liking this pairing so much that I had to repeat it again another day!

What I wore:

Earrings: opal reindeer stud earrings
Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

On such a hot day I knew this linen dress would be perfect. It's a firm favourite of mine, especially in the warmer months in Brisbane. And while it sold out in store and I missed out on it, I snapped it up at the opshop for just $1, so I am always happy when people compliment it and I get to share the bargain find!

With the teal bag against the bright fuchsia pink dress I kept the rest of the accessories neutral and silver - although they still make a statement with the long twist chain necklace and the very fun silver glitter sneakers, which I haven't worn for a while but have been reaching for more lately. 

Nice easy outfit for the school run, a day in the office, and then attending an awards ceremony for the kids in the afternoon.


Last worn: opal earrings, silver twist chain necklace, fuchsia pink linen dress, glitter sneakers, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink linen dress and blazer, glitter sneakers and shorts, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and navy dress.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Another office day, another reason to try the pink and teal combination. I think trying a new colour combination with accessories like a bag is a great idea, because most of the time in the office the bag just sits on my desk, so if I don't like it as much I don't have to wear it all day. But I really did like this unexpected combination.

I added a little more interest with the tortoise shell print tassel necklace, but kept the rest of my outfit simple just like in the outfit above, with another pair of sneakers. So comfortable for the commute, and running around between different meeting rooms on different floors of the office.

This Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress is also one of my favourites, although as a full price buy it's not quite the bargain the dress above was. I'm getting the cost per wear down on it though, always surprised I haven't hit 30 wears with it yet as I feel I reach for it a lot, it works for both office days and casual days.


Last worn: tassel necklace, fuchsia pink tiered dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag (above).

Other ways to wear: fuchsia pink tiered dress and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and skirt.

Red Midi Dresses For The Office Before Christmas

Wore some Kmart red midi dresses for the last couple of days at work before the Christmas break. Nice and festive, but not too over the top.

What I wore:

Earrings: glitter gingerbread earrings
Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus advent calendar charm bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

In my last week at the office before Christmas, my team had a Christmas lunch catch up. I knew I wanted to bring the festive vibes, but not look too out of place for the majority of the day in the office. I thought this coral red Kmart wrap dress was the perfect piece to wear. I've worn it lots of times outside of Christmas, and worn it for Christmas celebrations too, it's a good all-rounder dress.

I knew I'd nailed the outfit for the day when the lady I sat next to at lunch was also wearing gingerbread man earrings!

I liked the little red bag with this too, although not the same shade of coral as the dress I liked the reds together.


Last worn: gingerbread earrings, gold initial necklace, coral print wrap dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: coral print wrap dress and turquoise, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Earrings: glitter Santa hat stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

Another coral red dress for another day in the office. This was a hectic one, my last day at the office before the Christmas break so I was rushing trying to get everything done. But with the coral red dress and the burgundy necklace, and little glittery Santa hat stud earrings, I felt a little festive. Especially when I decided to wear my silver glitter sneakers. I thought the silver chain on the Stella McCartney Falabella bag matched with the shoes nicely.

I am surprised I haven't worn this burgundy beaded statement necklace with this coral red dress before. I liked the extra touch of red against the dress, even though it's a different shade, and I felt it made the outfit a little less casual for all my meetings as well.


Last worn: burgundy beaded necklace, coral tiered midi dress, silver glitter sneakers, Stella McCartney Falabella bag. First time I've worn the earrings.
 
Other ways to wear: coral tiered midi dress and tote, silver glitter sneakers and shorts, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and jeans.

Printed Dresses, Bright Blazers and Mimco Teal Cocoon Bucket Bag

Wearing two pretty floral print dresses that I tried to make a little more formal for office days by adding bright blazers on top.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

I've worn this Jaase Celine dress into the office before. It's my go-to dress for special events, but I think with a blazer it looks a little more formal for a day at work. We had a lunch event on so I ended up taking the blazer off, the long sleeves on this dress kept me warm enough.

I really liked the orange blazer with the autumn leaves print on the dress, it was a great combination. I added the teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag as I've been loving wearing it lately, even though it doesn't match any of the colours in this print I liked the teal with the orange blazer and navy dress. The orange blazer just pops with everything I've worn it with.

Last worn: Tiffany necklace, orange blazer, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress, white Converse, Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and jeans, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress and leather jacket, white Converse and skirt, Mimco cocoon bucket bag with pink.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: gold Christmas present bow hoops
Necklace: Silhoupette gold plated Shih Tzu necklace
Dress: Boho Luxe floral print maxi dress (from my sister's wardrobe)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

My sister recently brought over a bunch of pieces she didn't want any more, and when I saw this dress I knew I had to have it! I always love a maxi dress. Wore it for another wet but humid day, again as I did with the dress above by adding the blazer to make it a little more office appropriate.

There were a few of us in the office on this day and we smiled when we realised most of us were wearing maxi dresses - I love unexpected coordinating like that! It was a day full of meetings so I kept the blazer on as we rushed between meeting rooms, but at least I was colourful and comfortable. The teal Mimco bag was a good match to the blues and turquoises in the print of the dress too I thought.


Last worn: gold silhouette necklace, cobalt blazer, blue Converse, Mimco cocoon bag (above). First time I've worn this dress as it's from my sister's wardrobe, and first time I've worn the earrings as they were a gift last Christmas.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and jeans, blue Converse and shorts, Mimco cocoon bag and skirt.
