This is one of those stories where you don’t find the skirt, but the skirt finds you. Has that ever happened to you? I was minding my own business, doing a return at H&M for some pants I ordered online when I spotted this skirt. How could my closet be missing such a staple? I realized. I love how it makes this otherwise preppy, office-appropriate shirt look way cooler and more weekend-appropriate. It also works with two recent outfits - floral pouf sleeves and rainbow tee with sneaks. I’m diggin’ it!
