how practical is this skirt?

Amelie · Kenneth Cole

Very practical! It can be dressed down with black kitten heels and a tank or sweater. Maybe even an ivory- colored top would work.

I agree. I could see it with a black or ivory tank and some kitten heals or slighty embellished flips flops. I think it is a really pretty skirt and Ilove the color.

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

That would definitely be a dress down piece in my wardrobe.
Black baby T, Flip-Flops and Jadeite bead necklace.

for dressed down maybe with a wife beater or polo shirt and jeweled thong sandals

Lilykind · Hermes

I totally see it with some dressier flips, a tank top/wifebeater and a denim jacket over it if you get cold. Accesorize with some chunky beaded jewelry and you'll be ready to go!

I think it's beautiful and worth the money, but I feel like if you waited a bit maybe you could get it cheaper in store?

DC Shopper · Dooney & Bourke

Yeah, but the two stores near me don't have my size anymore, so I'm thinking of ordering it online...I may wait it out a week or two more, in case it goes on sale online, but it might be awhile before it does.

So you guys think it would look ok w/ flip flops? It's heavy cotton with velveteen appliques...does that change anything or do you still say it can be dressed down?

I think if the flip flops are made of a material that isn't rubber (say maybe suede), you could get away with it. Ballet flats or kitten heels would also be comfortable and cute choices.

It is very cute.. but I would not pay over $100 for it.

rlutz · Chanel

very pretty skirt...if you think you can get a lot of use out of it I say get it...I think it could be versatile...

luckylily · Gucci

Personally, I'm not a fan of using flip flops to make a look more casual. I do think the skirt would look really cute and casual with a pair of ballet flats or casual kitten heels tho. I also think pairing the skirt with a beater or t and topping it w/ a denim jacket would be cute.

I have a habit of stalking items at Anthropologie. Almost everything there goes on sale eventually. I just go in once a week and check to see if what I want is on the sale racks yet. It works really well for me. If this skirt just hit the stores, it would probably be 8-10 weeks before it goes on sale. Anthro doesn't turn over their stock quite as fast as, say, The GAP.
