This is the sequin skirt I was raving about in yesterday's Anniversary Sale recap. Seriously, isn't it gorgeous? I could have easily dressed this up to be more evening ready, but I decided to tone it down a bit with the stripe tee so I could wear this to work. (Yes, I can pretty much get away with anything at work.)
The faux leather waistband makes it even that more special - as if a sequin skirt needed another way to be special! And this is one of those pieces that definitely needed to be seen in person because I didn't like it at all on the model. I did size up in it just because form fitting pieces tend to fit better on my hips when I size up. And I think the length is still pretty good on my 5'-2" frame.
No seriously, you need this.

Thanks! I grabbed the shoes last second, and they were perfect indeed!
DeleteYour floral sequined sort of brocade pencil skirt is gorgeous. Simply WOW!! And those shoes - divine! Love how you totally dressed up a striped tee. Also, I've told you before but you do not look 5.2" at all, definitely at least 5.5". =)

Thanks! This striped tee goes with everything! Love that it's basic but adds enough interest up top! But doesn't compete with the skirt at all!
DeleteOk I am dyin over your skirt and those gorgeous shoes! I am looking for a pair of flats with a bow, but those are darling. I love the trim around the waist on the skirt too.

DeleteLove how you've taken a glamorous skirt and dressed it down for day wear. The skirt is stunning, there's nothing quite like a bit of bling!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Thanks!
DeleteI like how you have mixed the dressy skirt with a casual stripe tee, and those shoes are fab. I also love your red Gucci bag to add a little color. Love this look on you.

As perfect as this outfit was, I definitely thought it needed a splash of color for contrast! Thanks for picking up on that!

ReplyDeleteWendy
Don't give up on it! It's a fun thing to do!
DeleteI read this post yesterday and yet it looks as though I did not reply to it?! SO SORRY!! Anyway, the pencil skirt -- gorgeous!! You really made excellent choices from the sale- very carefully selected and versatile pieces. Also, you are so good at finding dupes! The copycat for the striped tee is great! I almost want one just for a backup!!
ReplyDeleteGina -- On the Daily Express
I seriously thought that a) you were going through something rough yesterday or b) you just hated the outfit so much, you couldn't find anything even disposable to say! Haha I'm just spoiled by your presence!
DeleteI always feel like I've hit the jackpot when I see a good dupe! And this skirt- it has my heart. I just love it!!
Don't you just love working at a place where they don't think women in suits are more productive, or some craziness like that? I don't expect them to allow us to wear sweat pants, but dress codes are just short of wearing a uniform :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one amazing skirt girl
Natalia
Yes!! Totally agree! I work in development/ construction so it's nice to still have my girliness in a predominantly make field!
DeleteGorgeous skirt and I love the print clash! Thanks so much for linking to All About You. Hope to see you again on Tuesday!
