Since the Shimmering Jacquard Skirt from Loft has become one of my favorite go-to skirts for the summer due to its ease of wear and simple sophistication, I was hoping for more of the same when I purchased the Foil Finish Pencil Skirt with the 40% off promo.
It’s also at 21″ in length, which fits in right along with the “new summer” length I love so much from J.Crew recent line of pencil skirts. I thought surely this would be a winner.
I’m wearing: J.Crew Favorite Tank, Banana Dahlia Wedges
The description says this skirt has a “shimmering foil finish.” The shimmering part killed it for me. When I first put it on, it looked a bit like a leather skirt to me from a distance, looking tightly bound and drawing light to every bump even though it was the right size and *felt* comfortable enough. You can see from the side profile that yeah I had a bit of a lower tummy but not gee, let’s not amplify that by bouncing light off of it. It looked so much worse than it really was straight-on. Any other print skirt and I would’ve been fine. Dammit. This one only works if you wear a longer top…on me, that is. Anyone out there with no abdominal area issues will probably love this skirt.
Get it here from Loft for $69.50, now with 40% off.
You look so hot in leather!!!
