I've always wanted a cute leather/suede skirt but haven't found any that don't require alterations or in any neutral colors (besides black). I was happy to see that the waist was small (12" laying flat) and the length (16") is perfect for someone my height (5" tall). I'm debating if I want to deal with the expensive upkeep of leather. I do love the blush color and box pleats.

I've never seen size 5's before so you can imagine how excited I was when I saw these in store. The shoes seem to be high quality with leather soles and completely lined inside with all leather. I love the blush color and chunky heel. The only reservation I have is the heel height (4") is a bit too high for me.

Remember my post looking for a cream/ivory a-line dress? This Modcloth Naturally Enchanting dress was one of the options I posted and Charlotte Russe has an exact dupe for cheaper. I typically don't shop at Charlotte Russe but was browsing one night and came across a few cute items. I had some reservations about the dress being too thin/see through and not fitting but decided to place my order anyway.

Likes: The dress is 100% cotton and fully lined. It's not see-through and the XS fits someone my size perfectly. The price is decent and quality was pretty good given the retailer. I was unsure of the crochet trim detail but it turned out to be pretty cute.
Dislikes: The bow belt (included with dress) is a bigger than I expected but is detachable if I want to switch it out.

Verdict: Keeping
Bow Back Stripe Crop Top - size small

I love the bows on the back. The top is cotton and very comfortable. This would also look cute with a maxi skirt and flats.
There weren't any XXSP's for me to try on so I wanted to see what this would look like. There is a lot of excess material I have scrunched and hidden in the back. The length was perfect but did not care for the top portion which made me look broader. I like the navy and cream stripes but it was a no go for me.
Ann Taylor Mosaic Maxi Dress - size 00P
I'm not a fan of the print but the fit was really nice. The spaghetti straps are detachable so you can wear it as a strapless. I was wearing flats and the length still fit me. Will have to keep my eyes out for something similar but in a more neutral color/print.
This belted stripe maxi has potential too in case anyone is interested. I'm very curious about this one and will try to find it in store to try on. I ordered this chevron maxi dress and hope it works out. I'm usually not a fan of maxi dresses only because I think I look weird in them and hubby hates them. Maybe I haven't found one that looks flattering on me.
