a-line skirt Archives - Suzanne Carillo

One of my latest thrifting acquisitions reminds me of a very old Anthropologie skirt I own

Except this thrifted horse skirt cost me $7.

I just realized that everything in this outfit is thrifted or bought via consignment except the turtleneck.

The burnt orange velvet structured blazer has a wonderful cut and shape.

The suede lace up boots are Michael Kors and look like they’ve been worn twice.

When one of my nieces fits into this skirt I might have to gift it to her. They are both huge horse lovers and skilled riders as well.

Neither one of my nieces are remotely interested in fashion. One is interested in books, the other sports. Both of them are interested in art and pugs though.

What personal characteristics would you like to pass onto your family members?

Linking up with Throw Back Thursday

Although I adore pencil skirts and full skirts one of my all time favourite skirts to wear is by far the A-line.

Skirt – Anthropologie (on sale), Vest – Guess (similar in white), Hat – Handmade (DIY your own) (similar), Shoes – Nine West (these are adorable and on sale!)

3 Reasons To Love An A-Line Skirt

Comfort

There is room to move, but unlike a maxi or full skirt no excess fabric to catch on things as I breeze by.

Flattering Fit

It accents my waist and skims out from my hips creating an unmistakably feminine silhouette.

Bathroom Easy

If ever you should need to go to the bathroom quickly…this is the skirt to be wearing. I know it seems like a silly detail, but sometimes I am grateful for the simplest things in life.
