The one item that caught my eye from F/W Fashion Week was the Gilded Floral Jacquard Skirt. I wasn’t sure how much gold was in it but I liked the look of the pink and light blue flowers, which aren’t colors I gravitate towards. The silk organza insets were interesting as well.

It had been excluded from a few promos and I ordered it when it was included in one of the recent 30% off promos. I bought a size 8 which is my normal skirt size and this fit well. Though it’s an A-Line shape, the fit is slim over the waist and hips and then the pleats start. Personally, I’m not a fan of that style of skirt. I prefer either all straight a-line or a pleated a-line starting at the waist.

I think this is a beautiful skirt but I wasn’t wowed by it when I tool it out of the package. 

Other than a White button-down, I style this with two different types of Cashmere Sweaters. The first is the Cashmere Tee in Matisse Blue from Winter 2010 and my Babette Heels. For a similar blue you could use Heather Fresco from this year’s colors. Of course, the Cashmere Tee in Black would look nice too.

This is the Cashmere Cardigan in Bright Dahlia from 2010, the Flower Lattice Necklace and Babette Heels. This year’s color of Heather Hyacinth is a little less bright and more light purple but should pair well with this skirt too.

I liked the color of the Cardigan more than the blue of the tee to go with the skirt. 
For me, it wasn’t special enough to find a home in my closet but it is a beautiful skirt. There’s also a Dress and Shorts in this same fabric and print.
Have a Great Day!
