Winter Skirts

By -
Many women would argue that skirts are not for winter. In fact, I get a lot of comments when I choose to wear a skirt in the blustering cold weather. Having grown up in a private school that required not only skirts everyday but also walking outside to classrooms, I learned a few things about winter skirts--warm materials (wool, corduroy, heavy knits), length (no mini) and heavy fabric (so the wind won't blow it up).
Pictured:
V-Striped Skirt, Anthropologie $69.95 (from $128)
Heta Hunting Skirt, Allsaints $70
Sweater Skirt, Anthropologie $98
Check Full Skirt, ASOS $68.79 (from $103.27)

Corduroy Pencil Skirt, Victoria's Secret $19.99 (from $49.50)
Red Wool Pencil Skirt, Ann Taylor $69.99 (from $108)
Ruffle Tweed Skirt, Talbots $53.99 (from $119)
Washable Wool Skirt, Jones New York $99

Retro Shoes

By -

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Sweet Sleep Bra

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.

The Horror: Crochet Coverup

By -

To be completely upfront, I'm not a fan of crochet anyway. It always reminds me of a hanging planter my mother preserved from the 70s. This crochet dress by All Saints may be cool layered over a body con dress, but it's absurd as a swimsuit coverup. First of all, it doesn't cover anything. Second, it will leave weird tan lines. Third, it's $75. You should know in the midst of your eye rolling that this $75 beach coverup is half off the original price of $150.
How do you feel about this item as a coverup vs. as a dress? How do you feel about crochet in general? What would you pay for a swimsuit coverup? (I wouldn't pay more than $10 for something fun at Goodwill.)
