must-shop sample sales May 23 - on Gilt: A.L.C., Theyskens' Theory, Bloch, Plenty by Tracy Reese. on Rue La La: James Jeans. on Refinery29 Reserve: Clare Vivier clutches, $60 off LnA, $100 off Rachel Pally, spend $100 get $200 at So Low (yoga & streetwear).
So, I’m trying to be “adventurous” with my style (yes, this is me being adventurous) and wear something I absolutely would NEVER normally wear, but that I LOVE and think looks SO cute on other women: a skirt with low-tops. When I wear it, all I see are my extra-large calves. But whatever, I have large calves, I’m short, and I have no waist in this outfit, so what else should I expect?
I’m wearing a James Perse casual t, a common thread reversible skirt, Ethletic low-top sneakers & alexander wang donna hobo bag.

I finally caved and got the Hayden-Harnett Thea dress I was obsessed with earlier in the Summer when it went down to $39 recently. I had originally wanted to get the navy blue dress, but by the time I was ready to buy, the Citron/Byzantium combination was the only color left in my size, so I decided to go for it. And I’m happy I did! I think the color is really nice on me and unlike anything I already have in my closet.
The fit is also great – I love the rope belt, and that the waist is already cinched so you don’t get weird bunching when you tie the belt. I took a large, even after hearing on message boards that Hayden-Harnett’s clothes run a bit big (since I have hips, nothing ever runs big on me LOL), and I’m happy with it, although I do wish it was a little longer and covered my knees.
Well worth it for $39 in my opinion…what do you think?
