White lace skirt

I picked up this lace skirt at Coco's on the Green in June when they were having their annual half off sale. That was the weekend I got my fabulous Ferragamo slides, and while I also tried this Miguelina skirt on, I put it back, deciding to just get the shoes. I left feeling good that I'd resisted.

The following weekend I got an email saying the sale had been extended. The next day I walked straight in, bought the skirt, did not look at anything else, and left. It was only $15, new with $200 tags, I could have done worse, right?

As for why it took me nearly three months to finally wear it, that I can not say.

    I love gingham, and this whole look. I have a similar gap top that I love putting under my sweaters for a little extra color this time of year!

    So cute! I always buy things and they sit in my closet for months. Matter of fact, when I switched my closet from summer to fall I had tona of clothino items that still had the tags on it. Ugh! You look fab!

    I love the balance of the flowers in your outfit, from the necklace to the skirt. I have floral skirts and no floral necklace. I love the chunky look of the necklace to also balance against the ultra feminine bottom. Clearly I have talked myself into needing such a necklace. I don't want it. I NEED it. Thank you ;-)

    A $200 skirt, still with the tags on, for only $15?! I seriously need to take a trip to where you live because thrifting here in Vancouver simply does not compare. I'm lucky if I can find something cute and secondhand from Zara for a reasonable price! But I suppose Vancouver has lots of other great things, so I'll stop complaining - so much ;)
