Since I already blew #alldressapril I figured I’d wear pants today - because yes! I do actually own & enjoy wearing pants! This super cute shirt is one I never would have tried if not for @dukegrad87 offering it to me. And since it’s chilly, cardigan layering time. The orange BB-8 shoes you see peeping out are by @po_zu & I love them. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw1ysNUA22y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=htvv650m9ehp

I’ve pretty much missed the rest of #alldressapril so how about some pics of me twirling in a skirt I made. Oh, and it has pockets. The shirt is by #trashydiva #pleatedcircleskirt #circleskirt #imadethis https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw1CkbgAD-u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fkw3rudldyix

Day 24 of #AllDressApril and unplanned my fellow #MarineAviators and I all wore skirts to #OWLS2019. As for today’s theme: the 3 of us represent over 65 years of combined Marine Aviation - that’s a whole lot of BUGS squished on our aircraft windows! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwpj7LVAdtJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n42b9dqr4ek

Finally got to meet Brigadier General Jeannie Leavitt in person at #OWLS2019. Years ago when I was at a crossroads in my career she spent over an hour on the phone with me talking specifically to the unique challenges women in military aviation often face. That conversation was exactly the push I needed to keep going. BTW she also consulted on #CaptainMarvel 💕 #WomenMentoringWomen #WomenHelpingWomen #MilitaryWomen #MilitaryPilots https://www.instagram.com/p/BwpNZFvgtUf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7kbdqbknxvnk

My favorite book is #PrideAndPrejudice and so this pin (a gift from @lovelyrita_mm) is perfect for today’s theme of the Written Word for #alldressapril. The shirt is #TrashyDiva, from one of their new “chorus girl” lines and I absolutely fell in love with the Peter Pan collar and cute little ties & matching piping. As it happens I had a mint green #gatheredskirt I made a few weeks back that matches it perfectly. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwmMSh0AzgO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hb6couu0o19z

Today’s theme for #alldressapril in honor of #earthday is nature, so I wore my floral Hawaiian print #TrashyDiva tie top with a rayon, pleated circle skirt I made. The photos do it no justice - it’s so full and swishes so beautifully! This is the first time I’ve ever made a circle skirt & I definitely learned the importance of hanging a skirt overnight to let the fabric relax so you can have an even hem! #imadethis https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwkrd1xAXSg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e4kl599rq858

Today’s theme for #alldressapril is black & white, so I wore the #TrashyDiva #ZebraBows dress I got from @tildehoff in a dress swap (though I believe @dukegrad87 is the original owner 😁). The back of this dress is my favorite detail! I coupled it with a b&w #TheBeatles hair flower made by @brightcopperpenny & a #MickeyMouse #ImperialCog pin. My shoes are sooooo comfy; they were recommended to me by @betsyboowho and the brand is #SoftSpot. I’ve worn them with several of my outfits this month - they go with SO. MANY. THINGS. Never thought white shoes would be that versatile! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwb4DmEgxni/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hrgp9zxnquyr

Super classy bathroom shot for day 15 of #alldressapril - half way done! Today’s theme is weather/climate and the closest I could get was my #MaryBlair skirt of blue skies with clouds and airplanes. Bonus #MinnieMouse flying through. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSm67rAtcB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=emt64tm9jjee

Day 13 of #alldressapril’s theme is shiny and sparkly and nothing fits that bill better than @brightcopperpenny’s hair flowers. Bonus shiny #CaptainMarvel necklace. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwM_ec2gP8x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rkcqzaw4kzyq

Who knew Tiki Star Wars wallpaper existed??? I sure didn’t until I did and then I knew I needed it in my life. #spoonflower https://www.instagram.com/p/BwMx5cGAUtJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vqazmr2xozeh
