I’ve started adding a few things here or there to my closet to replace the serious purging I’m doing lately. I hit up the outlets last week to check out the Columbus Day sales and snagged a few SERIOUSLY awesome deals, but this skirt was totally my “splurge” item (even though it was 50% off – snagged it for $30 marked down from $60!)

If you know me, you know how much I LURVE LOVE LURVE LOVE quatrefoils. 🙂 I saw this pink quatrefoil skirt on the rack and fell in love. BUT, it wasn’t in my size… BUT, I figured I’d try it on anyway.

And lo and behold, it fit! It’s definitely a little large, but I was so pumped! That also just goes to prove the point that it’s important to try things on. Sizing varies SO SO SO much from store to store. You can be a size 10 in one store and a size 4 in another, etc. etc.

And, as my favorite style consultants Clinton Kelly and Stacy London always say, “Dress for the body you have, not the body you want.”

I know this is one of those skirts that is going to be in my wardrobe for a long time. And even if I continue to lose weight and as my size changes, it’s one of those pieces that I’ll probably just get tailored because I love it so much.

I also have to say how much I love the power of the chambray shirt. I’m so glad it came back “in style” last year and that it’s not going anywhere. It’s one of those pieces that I really believe needs to be in every woman’s closet. It’s SO versatile. You can dress it up, dress it down, dress it all around. 😛

Seriously though, it goes with jeans, skirts, dress pants… it can be layered, it can be… anything, really. So, if you have yet to get your hands on a chambray shirt, I suggest you do so ASAP. 🙂

What pieces are you loving lately? Is there anything that you’d “splurge” on?
