Witchery silk top, thrifted skirt and belt, Alex and Ani ring, cream patent flats (not shown)

This skirt is my newest pride and joy. I picked it up at an op-shop for $7. I swear it’s made up of at least five metres of fabric. Insane. It reminded me of the full skirt from Alexa Chung’s Madewell collection. Only better (if I do say so myself). I also wore this skirt on Christmas day. It was a pretty bad idea considering I kept spilling food on it. Quite hazardous, really. It’s going to be a tough job keeping this skirt in pristine condition. Anyway, this is my last post for the year but I’ll be back next year with all guns blazing (i.e. tomorrow, but “next year” sounds so much more significant). I had grand plans of making a retrospective post of some kind (top trends/fashion moments of the noughties, looking back on the year that was etc.) but then realised someone, somewhere would have already compiled something similar. And done a much better job of it at that. So here’s to the end of 2010 and the 00s, and to a bigger and brighter 2011. If it wasnt’ 10 o’clock in the morning and if I actually had some handy, I’d raise a glass of champagne right now. Wishing you all a very happy new year!

    Nice find. I admire your bravery in rocking white bottoms. I'd have an incident with ketchup/chocolate/coffee within minutes, I'm sure.

    It does look incredibly Madewell, doesn't it? You always, always, always make me wish I could get away with wearing skirts this length. Sadly, I'm too short.
    Happy New Year to you too x

    @Brittany: oh don't worry, the sheer whiteness of this skirt does terrify me! I'm learning to deal with it though haha

    @SandO: it's VERY good for twirling.

    @Vicky: that's a pity because I think that longer skirts would definitely suit your look. You could always give it a try? Maybe it's all about proportions?

    @BijousStyle: I couldn't believe my luck when I found this skirt. It was one of those magical op shop moments haha.

    @heleen: you can find a close up of the ring on this post: http://owlversusdove.blogspot.com/2010/08/click-click-saddle-up-see-you-on-moon.html

    @sbot: thanks for following – am following yours now too πŸ™‚
