Thrifty & Chic: Striped Skirt

April 21, 2010

This post is brought to you by DownEast Basics.

DownEast Basics sent me some cute new clothes to review this week. I didn't think they would show up as fast as they did, but sure enough, I was able to sport my new skirt and fancy bracelet at church last Sunday. I think I looked pretty snazzy.

Outfit details:

Top: Ann Taylor Loft Necklace: Forever 21 Bracelet: DownEast Basics Skirt: DownEast Basics Shoes: Sesto Meucci, thrifted I've got two words for this outfit: nautical & patriotic. I'm not sure it's possible to wear true blue and white without pairing it with another primary color. Are you the same way? I have a pair of gold heels that I think would go marvelously with this skirt. I may just have to wear this skirt two Sundays in a row. Gasp!

Here's what I love about this skirt: it's form-fitting in all the right places, the waist is high, the skirt is straight, it's fully lined, and it shows just a little leg. I'm not sure it'll be a summer staple because I'm notoriously terrible with anything white, but this will be in pretty quick rotation guaranteed.
