my first missoni

i'd been eyeing this Missoni skirt at Loehmanns for the longest time but really couldn't justify blowing $200 for a skirt. i am still a frugalista at heart. but as if the Missoni God's knew what I was thinking everything Missoni at Loehmanns was a cool 35% off with an additional $25 dollars off. thank goodness for coupons and memberships. I walked away with this skirt for less than $90.

Jacket/Top: Rachel Roy | Skirt: Missoni | Booties: Via Spiga | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

this jacket was also a fashion STEELE! Daffy's was having this amazing going out of business sale and i scored this Rachel Roy jacket for $19. Yes...$19!!!!! i could hardly believe it myself. i love the assymetrical cut of the jacket too! i wish the Fall would last a little longer so i can get some more wear out of this skirt before the Winter. i don think it will look as good with opaque tights. ugh...gotta get ready to pack my gams away for the winter.

so yeah...this skirt is it

when I was visiting home in North Carolina a few weeks ago my cousin took these photos for me.

it's been a while since i pulled out my favorite striped shirt. but this isn't about the shirt...it's about the skirt. this has become my favorite. it's so full and the perfect length and only cost me $20 bucks.

i've had it for years. i recently wore it to the Style Bloggers of Color Conference. Before that I last wore it to New York Fashion Week last September and made the front page of Essence.com for street style.

Top: H&M get similar HERE | Skirt: Necessary Objects | Shoes: Messeca Coraline

Bracelet, Necklaces and Earrings: Light Years Jewelry

this is my first time busting out my Messeca's this year! if you havent heard of their shoes check them out HERE they are pretty amazing! all of my jewelry came from Light Years, an awesometastic accessories store in South Point Mall in Durham, NC. They have the BEST accessories in the world. i also got this gorgeous bag there as well for next to nothing. the bracelet is a mixture or silver, gold and copper too. i usually dont mix silver and gold but i love the contrast of these two charm necklaces. stay tuned for a post about Light Years Jewelry. i also found another skirt similar to this one but even better here on ASOS. i'll be adding it to my collection as well.

do you have a piece in your wardrobe that you wear over and over?
