I love the color, ruching detail  and length of this skirt but it does have it's issues.  It's a knit material so it makes it hard to tuck in shirts and panty lines are an issue in the back.  I have to invest in some spanks or something to avoid this problem in the future. Luckily the blouse is super thin that it didn't add to much bulk when tucked in.  I don't have anything in this color or style and it was on sale for $14.95 (reg. price was $24.95) plus 35% off for a grand total of $9.71.

Ring: YSL arty ring- size 4 (buy HERE)
Polish: Revlon Minted (buy HERE)
Necklace: Loft {old} (similar HERE or HERE)
Unfortunately the knit material is also wrinkle prone- especially in the back:( You can see it in the picture below- gasp!

All in all, I do like the style and the length is work appropriate.

I found this lonely orange striped travel bag that can double as a beach bag. I've never seen it before and it was the only one on the rack. It's a great size and is quite sturdy with two handles and a longer strap. I didn't think it was a bad price for $25 (after 35% off).  I will be definitely using it next time I travel. I like to put my purse inside another bag to protect it from going through the airport belt/scanner.

I have been trying to search for this lace sheath dress (left pic) with no luck and  instead found a similar skirt version from the Conscious Collection for only $10 (after my coupon):
H&MLaceSkirt
Has anyone seen this lace sheath dress? I'm not sure if it's from the Conscious Collection or not but it's very similar to the lace skirt. Please do share if you have seen this. I am looking for a size 2! The fit of the skirt is a bit wide in the hips and the lining underneath tends to stick out longer than the lace. Other than that, I love the color and can't resist a pretty lace skirt - especially for only $10.
