Well I can blame this purchase on Sveta and Jem - all their talk of Calvin Klein dresses and Fossil handbags at Winner's got me so excited I just had to nip there right after supper (lol)!

No Fossil handbags in the one in my area and the Calvin Klein dresses were already sold out in my size, but I did find white jeans from White House Black Market, lots of Vince Camuto items, all sorts of other fabulous brands and lots of Tahari. Looks like maybe we'll be getting some better quality brands. And of course with Winner's, each one is slightly different so another store in another part of the city may have items that the one in my end doesn't have.

This resulted in me purchasing two knit pencil skirts for fall - one in a gorgeous burnt orange colour and the other in a rich cobalt blue colour. The orange one is by Grace Elements (never heard of it) and the blue one is Tahari, trimmed in black leather.

These aren't particularly exciting pieces but they are good basics for my work wardrobe and at least have some colour to them. These are items that I can wear to death.

So what do my YLFers think? Keep or return? BTW excuse the off-centered zipper at the back of the orange skirt - I obviously put it on in too much of a hurry.
