When I saw this striped skirt at Madewell a few weeks ago when I went to the store to exchange a dress I ordered online, my heart skipped a beat. It’s exactly what my closet needed. A fresh silhouette and an interesting bronze-y color. It’s even more beautiful in person. The best part? It was an additional 40% off of the marked down price.
Though I love pencil skirts, I was getting bored of wearing them constantly (which is why I’m wearing pants a lot) and I wanted to get a skirt that was different from everything else in my closet. I can already tell this will be one of my most loved items this year!
A note on fit—I went down a size for this one. Since it’s worn at the waist, I had to go down to a 2 for the proper fit (no gaping). So if you’re considering it, I would recommend sizing down. The fuller skirt is more forgiving anyway, but you want it snug at the waist so it’s not spinning around or falling down your waist as you wear it.
I’ll also mention my love for J.Crew’s keeper chambray shirt. I ordered it in a 4T and love love love that it comes in tall because it’s easier to tuck into skirts and pants. It also has a subtle light pink threading which is a fun touch.
For those of you who didn’t see on my IG, I put a large mirror that used to be in our master in our living room. I think it opens up the space, Harper loves to look at herself when she’s on her play mat and it’s easier/better lighting for me to snap outfit photos.

You are so adorable! If I ever become a mom I hope I look as good as you while doing it. I love the skirt shape, the chambray, and with the black tights it all looks so fantastic. I'm the same height as you and I love that you wear heels…I never do, and you've seriously inspired me. I can't wait to buy a great pair (and learn to walk in them 🙂

Such a lovely outfit! I love the mix of materials! I sadly don't wear skirts often and probably not since having K! Especially now that I'm chasing her everywhere. 🙂

This skirt is super cute! I just recently got a few dresses from Madewell for Christmas and I absolutely love them. I am looking forward to doing some more shopping there this spring.

I love the skirt! It is my favorite silhouette. I always gravitate towards skirts and dresses with a full skirt and A-line shape. I think they such a classic and lady like look. I must say you look fab in a pencil skirt though too. You wear them well. They do not flatter me at all! haha

I live in chambray shirts! they go with everything and can easily be dressed up like you have done in this post. I have become obsessed with checking groupdealz since seeing all the great jewelry you get from there!
