Skirts of Sparkle and Swirl

You’ve gotta love the ongoing sales.  If you want something, wait a day.  There’s probably a coupon code for it.

With some latest promos, I’ve invested in the following items.

1. Red Skirt

I haven’t found a great pair of red jeans for me yet but a skirt I can easily wear.  This classic pencil skirt is from Express. It’s lined and you can nab a deal with their promo code or by signing up for their email.  Before coupons it is $79.

2. Sparkly Skirt

This skirt, also from Express, jumped out at me on Pinterest.  Also $79 before the coupon code, I loved the playful tiers of sequins… and you know I’m a sucker for sequins.  I’m going to dress it down with a slouchy sweater and tights.

3. Swirly Skirt

I fell in love with the City Lights Lilith skirt from Kate Spade (you can see it being designed here).  It was a bit pricey but then they had their big 75% off sale and I grabbed it.  I don’t think it’s available now but there are two other patterns in this style that are still on sale. Both are awfully cute as well!

Do you have a favorite skirt of the season?

Looking for Leopard

Flats are slowly taking over my life and my wardrobe.  Not sure what’s happening here, but the cute stuff is happening in loafers and oxfords, sneakers and slippers.

I am currently trying to decide how to incorporate some sweet leopard flats (I only have a pair of leopard kitten heels) to carry me through Fall and Winter. 

I’ve narrowed it down to 2 options, the first is this Aldo Buschur pair for $125 via ASOS.

The second pair is from River Island and are a bit more detailed and a less expensive at $53.91. Also from ASOS.

Which do you think???

Caught My Eye – Oscar de la Renta Lapis Clutch

I don’t tend to gush over runway shows but I am such a fan of color that I couldn’t help but love on the Oscar de la Renta S/S 2012 RTW presentation.  I was especially fond of these yellow/black and green/black dresses.

But what really caught my eye was this… a lapis stone clutch with a tiger’s eye clasp.

It’s something that I would never have a “need” for but it’s so beautiful that it’s something that I really really want.
I am sighing about it until next year to see if I need to only dream about it…
