So, I had pretty much decided to get rid of this skirt, but my friend Sydney has convinced me not to:
She came over yesterday to do some wardrobe consulting and planned my outfit today 😉 As I mentioned before, this skirt does NOT “fit” into my wardrobe, but I like it, so I bought it anyway. I’ve worn it a couple of times, but I never reach for it when I’m getting dressed, I have to really challenge myself to create an outfit around it. Sydney really helped me to realize that I should have a couple of things in my closet that are a little outside of my comfort zone to mix things up a bit. And I’m beginning to see her wisdom 😉
Wearing:
Skirt from Anthropologie
James Perse top
Madewell belt
No6 clogs
Alexander Wang Rocco duffel

so…you’ll never guess what happened…I took the skirt off after I got home from lunch and went to zip it back up and put it away and the ZIPPER IS BROKEN. Totally broken, beyond repair broken. It’s not like I had a hard time zipping it up OR down today, not at all. I can’t even imagine how it could have happened…although I had a feeling the zipper would be a problem when I bought it because it would get stuck on the fabric, and I think I remember reading some comments on the Anthropologie site to the same effect. I’m disappointed 🙁 But I’m taking it back to Anthropologie – I hope they’ll give me at least store credit for it.
She also styled my outfit for a fashion show we’re attending tomorrow night for Tribeza Style Week…you WILL NOT BELIEVE IT. Well, you might, but the shoes will blow your mind. hint: they are NOT clogs. Stay tuned…
LOVE the outfit–glad you are giving the skirt another chance. Sydney is awesome!

Why doesn’t the skirt fit into your wardrobe?
I like the outfit. The skirt color is a nice pop.

because it’s not denim, black, grey or white 😉
i really don’t like a lot of color…
I just read the edited version. Oh no!!! I was just going to say how much I like it and that I’m glad you were willing to try something “outside of the box” and good for Sydney, does she want to come and do my wardrobe?…blah blah blah. And then I read the bad news. Grechen Cohen (my mom would’ve used both names when I was in trouble), did you break that zipper on purpose?!? 😉
(Missed reading your posts while I was laid up!)
how are you feeling? and no i DID NOT break the zipper on purpose 😉 i’m really disappointed actually…
Thanks so much for asking! I’m doing OK. It’s been a week since my surgery on my achille’s tendon and bone spur on my heel, and I finally got to go out yesterday!! Yeah! Even going to our motley mall was better than nothing. My hubby wheeled me around and waited for me while I got a mani. Also, picked up my “Pure Grace” fragrance by Philosophy and my free gift!!
I love the outfit…period. Good job Sydney! Would maybe have added some boulder jewelry accessories myself. Think the choice of the neutral shoe color was far more interesting than just going with a predictable black as well. That skirt color is awesome.
