Update- I tried on the J. Crew skirt and it was TERRIBLE. Absolutely awful. It was soo long on me, first of all- like only an inch or two above my knees, and the material was very thin and you could see the front pockets through it. And NOT worth $78. I wouldn't pay $5 for it. UGH- it looks sooo cute on the model. So the search continues. Has anyone seen a skirt like this at a department store- maybe in the Tommy Hilfiger or Ralph Lauren section? I really want a skirt like this!!
I have a white denim mini exactly like the J.Crew one but it is an A&F one I found at Ross 2 summers ago for like $10. It fits me just like the model in the J.Crew pic. Maybe you could try A&F, Hollister or American Eagle? I found these: 34.50-Hollister $20 -AE
