Hello and welcome to the purrrfect skirt. I found this velvet number thrifting down in SoCal over thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure Zoe actually thrifted the same one. Seems like we are both pretty stoked to have found such a sweet skirt. As soon as I figured out how easy it was to style it's been a staple for the past weeks. Who knew velvet could be so versatile. For some reason I had it in my mind that it had to be super dressy. Apparently not.

ReplyDeleteI'm such a fan of the skirt. The length is really nice. And I'm currently obsessed with velvety things. I recently picked up this fun velvety number in Australia and I can't wait to find more!

ReplyDeleteGreat skirt, I love it with the white blouse. I wish it were warm enough here to be able to wear knee socks and not cover them up with thick skirts, le sigh.
ReplyDeleteI am so so so envious - you always find the BEST velvet pieces (and cord too!) The skirt is gorgeous! I love the necklace paired with the blouse too! Beaaaautiful!

Your velvet skirt is fantastic! Such a great find. I like how you wore it with a casual look. The knee socks are adorable with it.
ReplyDeleteEeek I've been on the lookout for a swirly velvet skirt but have had no luck thus far. It's pretty much the winter version of the suede mini skirt. :) Love your swirling shots and how you dressed it down with the knee socks and sweater!
