"You can't dance and stay uptight..."



I've been watching this skirt at a local thrift store for months now.  It has survived every half price sale and every time I scan through the racks; I stop at this skirt.  I have no idea why I never bought it before, but a few days ago, I snagged it.  And OH! how I love it!!!  Again, I know the popular tendancy is to shorten, but I actually like the length it is.  There's something so flattering about a midi skirt....it's lady like, elongating and just plain SWEET!   I'm feelin' it!

  1. Serene~I want that skirt! I absolutely love it! And its perfect with those sandals. And I agree--you dont need to hem it. How much did you end up payingfor it? Not that it matters--Love, Paula

  4. I have a couple of midis, but I think I need a bit of a pouffy slip underneath to give them the profile I want.

    I used to think that I needed to snatch things up the first time I saw it in a thrift, but there ARE items that seem to remain...as though they are meant to belong to you.

  5. Jess, actually Yokefellow. Thanks! Terri, I couldn't agree more! I'm much more discriminating now when I go thrifting. Instead of looking for potential, I look for WOW!!!

  9. I have a rule: If I walk way from an item and am still thinking about it half a day later, I go back to the store and get it! I'm so glad nobody walked away with YOUR skirt. Enjoy it!

  10. That skirt is brilliant, and this may be my favorite outfit I've ever seen you wear! I love the black with the brown accessories, the plaid, the length and fullnes and vintageness of the skirt - it's great!
