It`s been a hot minute since I wore this skirt, but here it is again. And again with a Tabitha jacket. A *different* ruffled Tabitha jacket, mind you. I have 4 of them now. Yes, four. Including 3 colorways of this particular jacket. Can you really blame me, though? It`s such a good jacket. And, psst: it`s frequently available on eBay for decent prices. This version is the only one I bought at the Anthro store — one of my few Anthro retail purchases, in fact. Which is funny when you think about how much of the stuff I wear regularly; this whole outfit, in fact, is all Anthro. It looks like it, too, but strangely I don`t mind. Something about autumn makes me gravitate towards the twee, I guess.

I don`t have much more to say except: look, still no black. I committed to not pairing this skirt with black (which is my default whenever a bold print is involved) right out of the gate, and I made it 2-for-2. Finding these navy CK pumps earlier in the year was a stroke of real luck. Plain navy shoes are not the easiest to find, and these are comfortable and versatile as heck. CK shoes are pretty ubiquitous at places like Winners and Marshalls, and they are a solid workwear option in the $30-60 range. I like a fancy shoe as much as the next person, but sometimes plain and classic is the way to go.
