Unexpected Surprise

{Gap tee, Asos metallic skirt, Forever 21 denim jacket, Steve Madden leopard Poized heels, vintage Coach bag (new version), Nails: Essie Chocolate Kisses}

I was unexpectedly surprised by how amazing this skirt was when it arrived (I loved it so much, I ordered the leather-like black one here). The metallic gold is spot on, the shape is amazing, and the fit is just perfection! For more of an everyday look I toned down the skirt with an easy white tee and denim jacket, but I know I’ll have fun dressing it up for the holidays.

Metallics weren’t necessarily on my must-try seasonal trend list, but I’m so glad I did. What do you think, will you be wearing metallics this year?

    I would’ve said, “nah metallic skirts aren’t for me.” But I have to say, your pictures have changed my mind. You look fabulous and your styling is what’s spot on.

    You’ve done it again!

    PS. Do you color your hair or is natural? I love the lush, richness of it.

    @Sandra- you are sooo sweet! I do not color my hair or do anything to it really, haha. Funny you ask because I use to struggle with the color. It used to be more black, but as I’ve gotten older it’s lightening out.

  11. SO CUTE!! It reminds me of this gold “leather” skirt I had in college. It was so tight and I wore it to a fraternity party and it split down the back. I wish I could say that that was the most embarrassing thing that happened to me at a frat party :-/ haha. Anywho…love this look!!!! xooxo

    LOVE that skirt! It looks amazing on you! If I didn’t already spend way too much $ this month I’d get it too! haha (Btw – you can still get the zara camo pants, they’re back online! At least, they were when I did all the links to my post last night!)

  14. awesome look! Love the way it fits you. =)
    Your hair is looking amazing here too! (Not that it doesn’t normally, but it’s so noticeable in these photos!)

    absolutely in love with this skirt! For reference, how tall are you Crystalin? I’m worried it will be a tad too short on me.

  19. Gorgeous! Love the shine and the style, hmmm, if I get it I’ll let you know! ;)

  20. Super cute! I can’t wait to try a pair of metallic gold waxed denim jeans…will pair it with a chambray top for a similar look to yours!
