The problem I had with this skirt was the wide waistband. This skirt requires some kind of statement belt, and I just didn't really have anything substantial enough to string through the loops, so in the closet it sat, sad and forlorn amongst my more popular skirts. It was in dire need of an accessory soul mate.
I popped in at J Crew yesterday and bought one of their leather (in store only) belts on promo. Bingo! I think it does the trick. I also couldn't help picking up the mesh scarf necklace, also on sale in stores. I saw this on Gigi's blog a while back and really liked how it looked on her.
I really love this necklace, and am tempted to get the gunmetal-colored one to pair with black accessories. I think that combo could make for a really fun rock-and-roll look. The only drawback is that the rhinestones can snag your scarf, so be careful.
Are you reviving any items from the depths of your closet this spring?

Love that belt! And I love to see that skirt together--didn't you buy it on one of our first SB lunch shopping trips? :)
That is a really great necklace.
And the belt! Perfect for the skirt.
I've been thinking about an old skirt I have from JCrew, and ivory silk pleated chiffon that reaches past the knees and is very on-trend for this year. I've never worn it which is ridiculous!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Love this look!
Thanks for the link love. I totally envisioned the scarf necklace w/a white tee as you have it. Great belt to bring your skirt out into the world. :-)
I like how this look is very simple and clean, but still interesting. I particularly like the light shoes/dark tights.
