There's nothing better than scoring the "one that almost got away". I was in Anthropologie, browsing the sale section as per usual. I came across this skirt, it was the only one left and happened to be in my size. It was on sale for $20; originally $150. I loved the color, the high-waist vintage inspired style, and the way it fit. So I did the only obvious thing there was to do; I left it there. Yes, that's right I walked out without buying anything. And then I obsessed about it in my mind for the entire car ride home and all through my bikram yoga class (not good when you are trying to be focused). I was real busy planning outfits based around an item that I didn't own. Finally that night I caved in and called the store, it was still there and luckily they put it aside for me to purchase. Cue sigh of relief (also noted that I might be a little bit crazy). So much for trying to be good, but honestly it was a must-have don't you think?*
Paired with a simple white tee and cognac slingbacks, I was feeling fabulously retro chic! My MavenFresh triangle scarf was the icing on the cake- it's super easy to wear and drapes so well. We tried to capture the subtle sparkle created by the hand-sewn gold crystals...bling! And you better believe this "sorbet" pencil skirt will still be seen out & about with tights/boots in the cooler days coming up.
*Being that I recently re-confirmed to myself that there should not be any new purchasing of clothing/bags/shoes until further notice, I had no business even being in Anthro. Ha that went well.
