I was probably most excited by this purchase out of all the things I ordered from J.Crew recently. Is it just so typical girly of me to like shiny, glittery things? Oy. Even the crazy price tag on this one couldn’t stop me. Who can resist this beautiful Paillette Mirage Tweed Mini Skirt??

I know everyone probably thinks this is not an easy skirt for your wardrobe. Is it too dressy? Is it evening wear only? Etc, etc. I pictured this skirt with various casual outfits for fall, so I’m definitely not one of those people questioning whether this skirt is too dressy. In fact, isn’t it cute even when you just throw on a plain ol’ tee?

I’m wearing: J.Crew Vintage Cotton V-Neck Tee, Matt Bernson Bo Peep Espadrilles

I could have even worn this during the summer! Oh well, too late now. This skirt is quite heavy, with all the plastic shiny tiny plates sewn on and flopping as you walk. Very comfy though. I sized up a size for some added length, and I think this length is a good length. My only concern would be that this skirt seems pretty high maintenance…those tiny plastic things can easily get hooked on something and pop off. I’ve also gotten a comment that this may not too shiny and sparkly for work. Grr. Either way, this skirt will be mine. Maybe just not at the current price tag. I will be stalking the Sale section like a hawk….

Get it here from J.Crew for $248.
