I probably had one of the best online experiences ever this week! I know, it's a strong statement, but wait until you hear the details. They are quite simple: fell in love with this skirt on theoutnet.com on Tuesday, immediately clicked add to cart followed by buy, the skirt shipped Wed., arrived yesterday and I'm wearing it today - all within 4 days!! If that's not incredible, I don't know what is. Needless to say, the Outnet has quickly become my go to online shop. 

Let's talk about the actual skirt. It's perfect: the asymmetry, the pleats, the subdued yet bold color and the fabric, which is light and flows like a feather in the wind. 
That's the wonderful thing about skirts, they are versatile and can be a great alternative to a dress. There are endless options, all depending on how you style the rest of the look. This outfit can be transformed simply by adding heels and a tailored jacket. It all depends on how you're feeling. :) 

Happy Friday to everyone and a happy weekend ahead!
thanks for visiting today.
