Until recently, I’ve stayed away from malls and retail stores this year. I broke my thrift-only streak to scoop up this brush-print faux wrap skirt once it hit the clearance rack at BR. No regrets, either. The linen-viscose blend fabric is a bit prone to wrinkling, but the skirt is otherwise lovely. If you’re thinking about picking it up (and you should), keep in mind that, in my experience, it runs a little bit large. If you’re in between sizes, definitely size down.

I also recently splurged on this Skagen watch from Winners. I’m not much of a watch person, but I fell in love with its “starry night sky” face and minimalist aesthetic. I’m a fan of rose gold, so that was an added bonus. So far, I’ve worn it every day at work, and it seems to go perfectly with everything.
