It was love at first sight with the Poplin Wednesday skirt when it popped up on J.Crew’s site. I didn’t see it frequently reviewed in the blogosphere, nor were there many IRL pictures. Of the ones I read/saw though, the skirt looked extremely unflattering, almost like a faux pencil skirt – not tight enough to be one but puffed out with zero A-line shape. I made a mental decision against it. Then decided to order it when I found a 20% off coupon code, completely skeptical and intending to try on just for blog purposes. Well, I have to say, I LOVE IT! J.Crew designers describe this as the “Best. Skirt. Ever.” and I completely agree. Unbelievably comfortable and super cute. No puffiness that I saw….but then again, I have no butt, and I can see how this almost taffeta-type material would accentuate a butt if there was a substantial one. Ordered in my usual J.Crew skirt size.

Pulling the tee down over the skirt probably tamed the poof a little bit. When I tucked the tee in, you can see a bit of the poof in the back. But definitely not significant enough for me to notice until I saw the picture of myself.

I got the Slate color, which has some beautiful purple undertones. Neutral enough to match with a lot, yet definitely stands on its own. Seeing how unpopular this skirt has been through the blogosphere, I’m betting this skirt will make it to sale. I shall wait until then to pick it up in Almond and Burnt Sienna! If you can’t wait until then, get it here for $69.50.
