This is a story filled with woe, great expectations and shattered dreams. I thought I had found the staple skirt of my dreams. I've been looking for a structured black skirt to wear to work ever since I decided that my Topshop skater skirt was more casual than smart. It was kind of ruining my 'professional-ness'. So after this fashion epiphany, I searched frantically for a skirt with more structure and a slight bounce.
AND I found this beauty on the Warehouse website. It was 20 pounds down from 40 something. I might have loved the bargain more than the skirt. But when I tried it on at home something just wasn't right. I wasn't crazy about it. Have you ever spent a long time trying something on, looking in the mirror and attempting to justify a purchase? 'It's not quite right but...'//'maybe if I wore it like this...'// 'I wish it looked more like this...'.
But I finally admitted that the skirt hit me in all the wrong places. It sat on my hips and made them seem wider. Not a good look. It's ok to buy something and shorten the hem but I was dreaming about totally changing to style of the skirt. So I sent it back. It's a shame because it really was cute.
The skirt search continues...
