Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
Don’t you hate it when you see something you want in a magazine or photo but when you see it IRL it might not be so great after all. So you pass on it and then think about it for the next few months regretting you didn’t buy it. That’s what happened to me and the Tie-Dye Wednesday skirt. IRL, it just didn’t strike me like I wanted it to. It sold out quickly and every time I saw it as a pop-back I regretted my decision to not buy it and wanted it even more. There it was, just taunting me.
Thankfully, we have the JCA Exchange where I found my skirt but, again, didn’t ask about it or buy it. Then it showed up on ebay. Major sign, right? So I bid and eventually won the auction. Turns out it was a JCA (Thanks Carrie!) selling the skirt. Silly me, I should have asked.
So now I have no more regrets (at least about this skirt) and can move on to my next obsession. Not sure what that is but I’ll find something soon.
Tee: J Crew Twisted Slub
Skirt: J Crew Tie-Dye Wednesday Skirt
Shoes: Brass Tack Wedges – Anthropologie
Here’s what I wore Monday.
Blouse: Transposed Tulips Blouse (Anthro)
Shorts: J Crew Carson
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Hola Thong Sandal
The colors of the blouse are so striking and vibrant.
Hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!
So happy you like the skirt!
Carrie
I kept hemming and hawing over the wednesday skirt, too, but knowing I love the jaipur version, I decided to bite the bullet yesterday and buy the popback. Hopefully it comes and is in good shape (you know popbacks!).
I love it on you, very cute for summer!
That's a great pattern for you. Yay for Ebay & the swap exchange. 🙂
I have this skirt too. It's such a fun pop of color with a tee. It looks great on you. And YAY for finally getting your hands on one! 🙂
First off, the Anthro top is killer on yoU!!! I love it!
Secondly, I've been there about regretting passing on an item! The hunt is crazy but so satisfying when you finally find it. That skirt looks great on you. The colors are so pretty.
This is SUCH a cute skirt…..I may have to scout one out for myself! I tried it on in store back when it first came out and thought it a bit short on me…and i am only 5'4"…what do you think about the length? It looks great on you!
I agree with everyone, it looks great on you and after seeing it now on both you and A Bigger Closet, I'm really regretting not even trying it on in the stores. It's really perfect for summer!
Carrie – Thanks again!
Dina – I think you'll love it. I missed out on the Jaipur but don't regret it.
txmom – I was worried about the length first time I tried it on but now I don't mind it. I'm 5'2" if that helps.
