When I first saw this gorgeous skirt in the H&M Conscious Collection campaign photos, I never thought that it would look good on someone with "sturdy" runner's legs like mine; I don't typically wear midi skirts (except for this one) because of their tendency to be completely unflattering on me. When I gave it a try at the H&M opening last week, though, I was pleasantly surprised. The length was perfect and it cinches beautifully at the waist to create a perfectly feminine skirt that will surprisingly pair well with a large number of looks.
This Prada cardholder, which was gifted by Reebonz, is the perfect wallet alternative when I'm carrying a smaller bag. Reebonz is a Singapore-based flash sale site that has daily exclusive and private high end designer sale events. I was very impressed with the quick shipping and beautiful packaging- it came wrapped in a pretty black box and gold ribbon. Registration is free, so sign up here to check out the goodness (there are currently vintage Chanel, Hermes & Louboutin sales going on- need I say more?)!

I love the combination of two different prints; they contrast nicely with each other. ^^

Maybe it's the angle but you look super model tall in the first picture!
Adore the pattern combos that you always rock. :)

You look so tall in that first photo!

These are all lovely shots of you, but that first one is just AMAZING. Breathtaking! love the pretty floral skirt as well, btw.

What runners legs? You look great! And that skirt is absolutely gorgeous.
Love the Prada cardholder-I need to get something like that. I've got so many cards that I don't use often but still need to keep handy and my wallet is overflowing!

Jen, my love! That skirt is fabulous. It's made for you. It's so pretty, but of course, not as pretty as you. :) I recently bought some pretty fabrics, and I may need to make a skirt for myself like this. I just love how it cinches at the waist.
I feel like a lot of clothes that I've been drawn to lately, do not define my waist. I need to start showing it off.. it's "tiny" in comparison to the rest of my body. I used to have a complex about being curvy (even when I was much thinner, I was curvy), but now I embrace my curves. tee hee!
I hope you're having a fabulous Monday. Muah.
xx Love & Aloha

I wouldn't think that wintry florals and leopard print could go together, but you make it look like such a natural, easy, chic combination!
by lisa on October 17, 2011 at 1:44 PM. #
I wouldn't wear a midi skirt, either, but this one falls on you at the right length so as not to cut you off, and esp because it is high waisted, you look long and lean and gorgeous.
AND YOU WORE MIXED PRINTS!
You already know I'm co-signed on this look. LOVE IT.

I just missed out on this skirt the other night, the size I needed was either in a fitting room or already in someone else's bag by the time I got to it. I'm so glad I get to see it looking beautiful on you, though. The colours are stunning and I love how well it works with your leopard sweater!

Ahhhh <3 After seeing your prof pic this just made me die a million times. You're so gorgeous! Those skirts look fantastic on your runner's legs, regardless of what you initially thought :)!
P.S. Thanks for showing me Reebonz!

I've seen this skirt in H&M but didn't know what to pair it with. You did an awesome job here. These photos came out amazingly awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Omg Jen, this shoot is beyond stunning. This is easily one of my favourite looks of yours. Love the pattern mixing and that skirt was honestly made for you, it makes your waist look so itty bitty and it's just so flattering. Seriously blown away by this! You look beautiful.

Isn't it funny how a longer skirt can make your legs look a million miles long? ;)
by jamie on October 18, 2011 at 12:31 PM. #
Jen, you look so good! I've noticed your hair has been growing longer really quickly (compared to your previous post). It really suits you!
The skirt is so pretty. Totally you! It's very versatile, too. You should wear it with a plain white T! I think that would look really cool, too.

haha I think your leg thing is all in your head because they look perfectly normal to me, albeit quite healthy : ) such a pretty skirt & great print mixing w/ the sweater. happy fall!

I'm not a fan of mid skirt too, but this one looks so good on you! BTW, where did you take these pics? I love the architecture.
