'What a Piece of Work is' This Skirt


I saw this skirt in Lucky Magazine and instantly fell in love with it...had to have it no matter the cost! And as such, I'll never tell how much I paid for it. However, I will say that after an extensive search for it in this color (rust), I finally found it at a cool boutique called Kaight. It was the last one in my size (an 8...ha...can you believe it? I don't know who the fit model was but geesh).

And now for a little secret which enabled me to get the skirt at a 10% discount: As I tried on sizes 2, 4, 6 (finally landing on the 8), admired and twirled myself about, I put my hands in the pockets and (cue heavenly music), I found a massive tear. Whoohoo!!!! Instant discount ladies. If you ever come across a defected garment that you can easily fix, do ask for a discount.

(But a word of caution, find out the store's policy on these types of discounts. Sometimes you can't return the item after they give you the defect discount).

I LOVE THIS SKIRT!!!

And the best part, even though it's wool and has a nice weight to it, I can wear it all year round!

(Sorry for the slightly blurry pictures. Am saving up for my real camera. BTW, the tank top is dotted with tiny hearts)





What I'm Wearing:
Skirt: WHIT - Kaight NYC
Top: Silk Heart Tank - Forever 21
Shoes: Nine West
Necklace: Lord and Taylor

  17. Love this look! The fullness of the skirt and the sweet hearts work beautifully together. I was eying that top in store, but passed it up. I looks darling on you.
