So this is a weird story guys. Brace yourselves. I felt like this outfit felt familiar when I wore it twice in the past two weeks but I brushed it off. Then as I was sitting here, looking at the images, it dawned on me why it felt so familiar. I have worn this outfit before. (Yes, I had to reference my own blog archives to figure out what I have worn. Please tell me this is totally normal) Why do I know this? Because this skirt is what gets me the search term “Short skirt in wind” from a LOT of creepers over in France. Yes, the last time I wore this I was talking about how this skirt flew up and exposed my booty to a bunch of people at a convenience store. I was really young and naive (Okay, a year younger but I’ve totally become wiser in a year.) and didn’t realize that sharing embarrassing and funny stories were indexed by search engines. I didn’t know how to check for my search terms then so I never knew my wind up my skirt story was such a success in France.
Shirt: American Eagle (similar)
Bag: Kate Spade (almost identical)
Polish: Essie (exact)
So for a while I totally thought that the reason this post was popular was because I have killer print mixing skills and am funny and all that. Then I wised up and realized that no, people are pervs and basically just want to see short skirts in the wind. Specifically French ones.
So what are the weirdest terms that have caused people to find your blog? I know one person who had “large boobs in white shirt” be a term. “Peanut butter addiction” over at Design Eat Repeat has happened but we all know that makes sense.

Oh man, I've had so many creepy search terms! Once I posted a leather skirt outfit and search terms were "sexy leather ass"… Nice 😀
I do love this outfit so much ^_^

I don't have any weird ones, but you do look cute in that skirt. Loved how you styled it both times.

Omg that is too funny! And this outfit is too cute!
Karly @ Miss in the Midwest
That is on another level of funny and creepy … on the bright side, this is a great mix of prints and an adorable outfit!
Lauren {Fizz and Frosting}
That is hilarious. I just checked mine and in the last month someone searched "black woman leather skirt" to get to my blog. I'm sure they were very disappointed with what they found!
awhite
Creepers in France are a huge problem, HUGE. They must be stopped.
I need to look at an updated list of weird search terms. I think the weirdest one I can remember is "thigh high boots non-slutty." AS IF I'm non-slutty, excuse me. Ha.
I love this outfit- and even more that it's a repeat! Keep it reallllll.

Haha ok that's hilarious and creepy at the same time! Creepers in France need to find something else to do! I've never looked at the search terms but now I'm a little scared/intrigued LOL!

That's too funny, and kind of disturbing. This is such a cute outfit though! I think the weirdest traffic I've gotten is from people searching "amanda seyfried hair". A while back I was debating a cut (who am I kidding, I still am) and posted a photo of her glorious locks. Otherwise I'm pretty boring and don't get anything too crazy.

LOL but your funny stories add so much to your posts. I get "leather wife" as a search term. I had a really bizarre one a while back, but now I can't remember what it was… I shall think on it and get back to you. BTW I love this outfit, short skirt in the wind or not 🙂

Oh gosh, I have not checked my analytics in a while! I was getting tons of hits from this german forum about sexy leather gloves for a while though. Also "what to wear on my birthday" used to be a big one.
But I think I wore the same outfit last summer that I'd worn the year previous and didn't remember until I happened to see the post by chance. And it's funny because I thought "wow, these two things look great together, can't believe I've not done this before!"
And your shirt and skirt do look great together, and warrant a second time around.

My best one has been bootylicious. Apparently I've used the term in a few workouts I've posted. Most of my traffic comes from a DIY post for a workout headband I did when I first started blogging. Keywords are a funny thing!

I can beat everyone else's search terms with this: "piss in my nose photos"
First: What?
Second: Why?
Third: How did this search lead to MY blog?

This post made me giggle a little bit (in a good way)! I can't believe that's a hitter for you. Too funny. I know I've had a weird one, but for the life of me can't remember what it was. I just remembering thinking it was funny. Anyways, loving this look. For the record, you do mix patterns very well!

so awkward! Most of my google traffic comes from my post about Silver Linings Playbook, and then they are probably disappointed that my blog isn't usually about book/movie comparisons.
This outfit is awesome, so I'm glad you repeated it! I've been wearing little yoga shorts under my flouncy skirts and dresses lately, so then if I have a wind problem, it's not that embarrassing!

What, you mean you didn't use SEO to target pervy Frenchmen? 😉 Sometimes the weather results in a wardrobe malfunction. Oh well!

Search terms are the funniest thing! One I've gotten is my friend's hot sister or my mom's hot friend. It's so weird and so random!!!
Loving the print mixing and your gorgeous bag!!

This is HILARIOUS! Well, I think your print mixing skills are killer and so should the weirdos who happen upon your blog because you referenced your booty:) Looking good, lady!

I definitely reference my own archives to see if I've worn an outfit before–it's actually pretty helpful sometimes!
I've never looked at the search terms that might lead to my blog…could be an entertaining activity!

Haha, that's pretty hilarious!! I should see what my search terms are! Now I'm scared to look though!

LOL…that is a great story! I don't think I write anything exciting because I checked my popular searches and it was all clothing related. Loving all the shades of blue in this outfit.

I definitely do go through my archives– I even pin my outfits every day so I can keep track of them more easily. The other day I was downtown, waiting at the crosswalk for the light to turn, and my skirt literally flew up and I flashed a car passing by. Mortifying. At least it was only the back of the skirt that went up? Oh, and on that note, the most popular search term for my blog was "Marilyn Monroe dress blowing". How fitting.

Lol!! Creepers from France; who knew? The outfit is totally cute and worthy of being worn more than once. I do this all the time with good outfits. As for looking through my blog archives, I do it quite a lot since I have every outfit indexed visually in a page under the "looks" tab. But strangely, I kinda remember every. single. outfit I've ever posted on the blog. Maybe because I do this part-time and don't post as much? Or maybe I'm just weird like that. Lol.

It's obviously a keeper if you've worn it before. If I didn't have a blog, I wouldn't remember what I wore last month, much less last year! lol. Oh the French and their fascination with embarrassed Americans.

That is too funny. I can't say I have had that happen yet! This outfit is adorable though and definitely one that should be worn more then once!

Mine aren't too weird, usually they involve the word weird or why girls…. or something.

Ok that's a bit scary, my search terms aren't that scary or exiciting though 😛
You look amazing in the pictures, always love to see your bright smile. Love the look!

Omggg as someone who lived in France for a few months, I wish I was more surprised by your discovery. I'm not saying all frenchmen are pervs, but many are less apologetic about just wanting to ogle you. I'd say at least yours happened thousands of miles away via the internet… but no- that might make it even more unsettling. (Especially since you can't just turn around and yell at them… not that I ever did that 😉 ). Well… congrats on the popular post? Haha I think you are also GREAT at mixing patterns and writing witty things!

This is too funny! "Up skirt" is the creepiest search term people have found my blog with and I have no idea why because I'm pretty sure I have never used those words in that context!
