Which Skirt?
Permalink Closed

i am having a hard time with skirts lately, and i don't know why. maybe because i am having a bad week in general. but i'm stuck and need opinions.

i bought this BR skirt a couple of weeks ago, for a summer skirt (you'll have to put up with my pic because it's no longer on the web site):

but then i tried on this anthro one and really liked it. it's darker than it appears on line - more creamy than white-ish, and has the cutest bustle back:

and now i am wondering if i should return the BR one and buy the anthro one instead.

the other problem is that i already have this skirt (very similar color to the BR one). it's much better on than it looks on the hanger:

and this skirt, which may be too much like the anthro one:

so now i don't know if i should have either new skirt or am falling into a beige-y / khaki rut. help!

eek...personally I like the 1st BR one better than the one with the similar color. As for the other two, both are pretty, maybe wait it out??? sorry, i like both!

i think the new br one would look really nice w/a white crisp shirt.  Or worn w/black, navy- anything really. I think the khaki one you have is a lot more casual.
The anthro one is too much of a similar vibe to the one you have already.  I think you could swap either one for the other and have the same outfit.

I agree with Lynnie totally. The last sentence is really key, I think. The two darker tan ones are really different, except for the color. The two cream ones are much much too similar, vibe and color. Keep what you have and buy the new BR one.

I like the anthro one. If it's between the BR one and the Anthro one, I vote Anthro. But they're both cute and it looks like the BR one has a fancier/more feminine feel than the khaki skirt you already own, so owning both of them wouldn't be a problem.

ITA. I really like the BR skirt and think it's different enough from the others. The Anthro skirt is pretty, but you clearly already have a great choice for a skirt like that.smile

thanks, ladies! you helped me feel better about my first choice (the BR skirt - which i already own). plus it was almost half of what the anthro one is going for.

My thoughts exactly.
