WINNER! And ModiCombo Fall/Winter

Ok!  I've finally chosen  a winner for the contest!  I know its taken awhile, but I've been away working on other important things :).  I'm very sorry.  But, anyway: The winner of the contest is....

JASMINE!

So, if you could email me at Sasha@thejobagirl.com, we will discuss your prize.  CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Now for the ModiCombo:

I know I haven't done one of these in awhile, but, they will be coming more frequently now :)

Ok, so this is an outfit that I love wearing.  Its very comfortable and keeps me warm too.  Not, that it gets very cold in California, but occasionally it'll drop to below freezing.  That's at night though :)  So, outfits like this usually do the trick. 

Blouse ~ Target ($??)

Skirt ~ Thrift Store ($3-5)

Cami ~ Target ($5)

As weird as it may sound, this same skirt also keeps me cool in the summer.  It is a common misconception that shorts keep you cool in the summer, but, this is sadly not true.  Shorts actually make you hotter because, your skin is being exposed to direct sunlight, causing the UV rays to literally bake you as you chill at the beach or hike under that oppressive sun.  Skirts protect you from that immediate exposure and air can rise and circulate under your skirt, making your sweat evaporate, cooling you off.  The same concept applies to tube tops and any kind of tank.  

In the winter, the heat becomes trapped under the skirt since heat rises.  This warm air then circulates underneath the skirt, keeping you warm.  If you wear leggings (or any kind of pants) under a skirt, you'll be warm FOR SURE!  I do this a lot.  If it's a particularly cold day, I'll wear sweat pants under a long skirt.

So, not only is this about modesty, but, its also about health and skin care!

So, I thank you all once again for your patience.  Believe me, this will not be the last contest :)
