J Crew and I are now frenemies

I have long admired this fuchsia pencil skirt. I believe Kendi Everyday included it in her most recent 30 for 30. But, seeing that it was from J Crew, I immediately put it in the category of way out of my price range. I have never bought anything from J Crew. Even their clearance rack is too pricey for my miserly shopping habits (I shop often, but I shop cheap). I consider it fate that with a friend I happened to go into J Crew (with no intention to buy) and stumbled upon this amazing skirt, in my size, on clearance. Even on clearance it was more than I would typically spend on a skirt. But it is a beautiful, well made piece of clothing and I decided that it must be mine.

So YAY!!!!!!!

And TA DA!!!!!!

  2. I have always admired this skirt, and it's mustard-colored sister of course, but the fit of this skirt is all kinds of wonky on me!
    You, however, look adorable! Good find.

  5. I know what you mean about stores like J Crew, but sometimes a splurge on something special is in order. It's like this skirt was waiting there for you! It looks fantastic. I love it with this black and white embellished top!
