Earrings: F21 (similar for $3.80) Belt: J.Crew skinny belt

And right here is the black version of the H&M blazer. Please help me determine whether or not to hold the black or light grey! i have sworn off shopping for duplicates of the same item due to the fact I do not need to be a hoarder...err, properly, except it is Ann Taylor ideal pumps or this vintage factory ruffle shell that is a work staple in each color.

when I ultimate went to LOFT, I in reality went in particular looking for this lace and ponte pencil skirt. I noticed it in a LOFT ad and fell in love. i was intrigued with the aid of the phrases "stretchy ponte" and "elastic waistband,", as the ones commonly translate into something petite-pleasant. At $seventy nine.50 retail plus LOFT's common sales and coupons, i used to be hoping this will be a cheaper dupe for the overpriced Ann Taylor lace skirt i'm coveting.

LOFT lace and ponte pencil skirt sz 00P

In character, the darkish hunter green and grey layout turned into actually lovable, however the match become too generous. A 00P changed into huge and boxy on me, completely not like it's smooth and fitted Ann Taylor sister. also, I desire the ponte lining did now not stick out past the period of the scalloped lace.

Readers - Did anyone else try on this lace skirt? How do you think it compares to the (pricey) AT one?
