Outfit details: dress- Urban Outfitters, sweater- Forever 21, shoes- Urban Outfitters, tote bag- Topshop
My fascination with brocade is well documented and long-running, but I finally put my money where my mouth is when I saw this skirt on Forever 21's website. I actually sighted it for the first time in December, but kept hoping to find it in an actual store so I could try it on. I didn't, but the skirt lingered online and in my memory, so I finally made it my own.
It is thoroughly Dolce and Gabbana inspired and I paired it with my ruffle neck tee from Vain and Vapid as a nod to Queen Elizabeth's neck ruffs.

Also, Lemondrop has been doing a "Closet Fever" feature on various bloggers and they just did one on me.

I am in love with your paisley skirt!! Its gorgeous, i've been seraching for one similar and you've inspired me to continue on the hunt!!

i adore that skirt. that's hwy i love forever 21. they have some really great clothes that look completely runway inspired.
i wish topshop came to canada :(
The print on your dress is just gorgeous, and you dressed up the brocade skirt so well--very modern take on an age-old classic. Brava.
You lucky girl! Do you think you'll check out Topshop the next time you make a day trip to NY?
I am completely in LOVE with the first outfit! So amazing!
Ooh! What a lovely present! The skirt is gorgeous! So rich & lush in texture & print without being dowdy, love the ruffled top too ;)
Beautiful pics! Love the Spring feel!
xx
that tote is surprisingly cute! what i would give to visit nyc again! :(
in response to your comment: i am taking a sociology of gender class this term, and i guess because of it i am extra sensitive to anything that enforces gender roles marketed towards young people .. and twilight just happens to model binary gender perfectly. i have nothing against her being mormon really.
cute skirt! i bought one similar at a flea market (originally by target). tragically its too big. i'll have to get it altered. you look great though! and i'm so jealous of your top shop gift. i need to get up there some time this spring.
you cutie!! that skirt was meant for you to wear =) it's awesome..and the bag is adorable..how lovely to get a nice gift!!
btw, how much longer will you be there?
love the prints

i have an on and off love affair with brocade, somtimes it feels stuffy, and sometimes i love its stuffiness.
that tote is so perfect. i love the pattern. i wish we had a top shop on the west coast...

I also love brocade skirts! They're so classy and looks great with any top! That topshop tote is so cute! xxoxoxoxooxo
lucky gal. that tote looks fab!
You lucky duck. That Topshop bag looks so cool! And I love it with the black & white outfit. I'm liking the brocade, too.
ooh i simply adore the prints on your dress and skirt! the print on bag is awesome too! haha. very pretty. and congrats on the feature!
I want that ruffled tee!
P.S. I loved your idea of looking for a color that DOESN'T go with navy.
That topshop bag is super! I am already looking forward to visiting Topshop this summer in NYC!
Your outfits are lovely as always and that brocade skirt is beautiful - I'd have bought it as well! :)
Hey you! Lucky girl!!!!
i envy youuu :D
Totally jealous of your Topshop tote! I love the illustrations on it; it actually reminds me of some of your drawings.
I love love love your second outfit! The brocade skirt goes super well with the ruffles on your top.
ohh!! you are another lucky girl with that tote :}
your brocade skirt is wonderful, the colours are unexpected but you make it wearable somehow! reminds me of a brocade dress i have, which i've never wore.. hmm. i need an occasion doh!
that ruffle t shirt is so nice! i visited her shop but she doesn't have any. that tote is great!
Your photos and wardrobe remixes never fail to amaze me. I mean, usually have a problem coming up with new outfits using the clothes I already have, but you can form bout 7 outfits with one skirt. How do you do it? LOL.
What a cute tote! I love the print!
Your brocade skirt is beautiful, brocade looks so fancy!
That brocade skirt is great, F21 has some pretty nice things.
If it wasn't raining so much today, I would've went to check out the new Topshop.
Oh that brocade skirt is awesome. I love thr print in your dress too with the hidden animals and birds.
Oh how green it is already in there! I'm a bit jealous - we still got snow here in finland.
But especially your first outfit is really wonderful, I love the skirt, especially it's fabric. Really cute.
nice bag :)

oh man, that dress from urban is AMAZING. i adore it. is it new? i don't remember ever seeing it on their site but wowwww. i have similar curtains lol. dorky, i know :P
i'm so glad to see the brocade skirt! you look lovely as usual :) i made a little note to myself to remember brocade for next fall. i love rich fabrics when it gets cold.
I love the print of your dress!
That dress is absolutely stunning!The print and the fabric are gorgeous!
great print dress and pics. Love the black and flower print mix.

cheers

that skirt is just divine! I love the detailing on it--hope you're having a great monday :-)
ah, brocade! how I love thee. ;)
love the new skirt.
That's hilarious - I have been eyeing that skirt many times on F21 wanting to buy it but never did. I love brocade too and this was just flashy enough without being too marie antoinette. In the end I think my hips are just a bit too big and would be too big in the waist as a result.
It looks wonderful on you though - yay! We have great taste :)
Love the ruffly shirt!
the tote really suits your style
i wish i was important enough to get a topshop tote bag! I hope you enjoy all those goodies!!
as for me, it will be two more months before i get to go!! *sadness*
love your bag and your outfits as always!
This skirt is really pretty, a lovely addition to your closet!
You have such beautiful dresses. *envy*
love the hand drawn looking print on that bad and the little riffles on your top..
i am also really into your remix posts. so good.
OOOHH, lucky, lucky girl! <3
This skirt is amazing. I, too, love brocades and tapestrys~~I have to admit I feel a bit "old" for Forever 21 but I may have to reconsider! You look lovely in this outfit.
