This Colour Gets Me Every Time

Meet my new nylon mini-skirt with the industrial zipper and edgy seams:


You don't need a PhD in K-Line to guess that I got this at Club Monaco.

It was on sale from $130.00 to $69.00. And since the sizes were starting to disappear, I decided to purchase rather than wait and potentially be disappointed. I do have a feeling it may be marked down again over the next couple of weeks, which is why I'll be hanging onto the receipt.

I have had my eye on this cherry-red-meets-fuchsia-meets-orange mini for some time. It is a most unusual material for a skirt, which is lined and can be worn all seasons. I'm seeing it with hot pink tights, black boots and a black turtleneck. Or maybe with bright yellow - for a clash of the ages?

Gotta say, though, in case the photo doesn't make this clear: This thing is frickin' short.

  2. FUN! I just nabbed a flame orange pleated skirt from BR (with gift cards, fear not, no ban-breaking) and am wearing it today. But it's not nearly so mini. Can't wait to see this bad boy in action, K.Line.

  5. I have to admit that I must be a doctorial candidate in K.line.;-) I thought it was a Club Monaco treasure as soon as I saw it. I would love this with the black turtle, tights and boots.

  9. Well who cares? You have great legs, and if you're wearing it with tights, then it'll be just modest enough. But not TOO modest. ;)

    What a great find.

  10. That is the red mini that I was supposed to get after doing my very first dressing songy post wearing black canvas shoes. I now know exactly what I need to get!! Will be better tho if you show me 'how to' wear it. :P
