I'm on my phone so Finds won't work, but I was returning a failed dress experiment to Athleta and noticed this skirt:

It seems less flared IRL than in the stock photos, at least on me. Since the black version of the ruched jersey skirt has not returned to Anthro stock, I thought some of you might be interested in this as an alternative.

I'm dressing despite the weather today. It's not cold but it continues to rain and i'm soooooo sick of it. I haven't taken the tag off (you can see the plastic in the side view) and I'm trying this tucked with my old chambray Levi's shirt. Normally I avoid tucking, but since the skirt sits a little lower on my waist/hip, it doesn't seem as out-of-balance as tucked tops normally do on me.

What do you think? I'm inclined to cut tags and keep. It's lighter and breezier than the Anthro version. I could even get it taken in a little to make it slightly more pencil-ish, but I'm not feeling like that's necessary.

My hair is still damp so it doesn't look quite right. my hairstylist cut it a little shorter than I wanted, but it grows fast. He cut a lot out of the shorter side to emphasize the asymmetry, but I'm not sure it really shows. The color is a little dark now but that will soften too -- you can't see it in this light but there is a little balayage in the longer side. I'll try to get pics when I have better light.
