Weekend Business

For some time now I've been wanting a long black skirt.  It seems like a fairly versatile staple that my wardrobe is missing.  I shopped around a ton and everything is crazy expensive.  The cheapest I've been able to find was around $30 and it was made of jersey.

This skirt by A.L.C. is very pretty looking, I love the pleating, but it's $693 on shopbop, which seems like it must be a joke because that shit is made of polyester.  POLYESTER!!!  And it appears that it's just been slapped onto an exposed elastic waistband.  Ugh, vomit.

It does look good with a gray sweatshirt, thank god that waistband is covered.






























I think I can make something like this myself for way cheaper, so that's what I'm aiming to do this Sunday.  I bought some half price remnant black silk, and it only cost me $28.  Suck on that, polyester!  We'll see how it goes.
