I don't really have a 'name' for this look. Maybe sporty luxe?
I bought this Roberto Cavalli skirt several years ago on eBay and never wore it. I kept saying I was going to have it shortened - but didn't. And I never could figure out what to wear with it, that didn't make it even more over-the-top than it already is. For the past couple of years, I vacillated between selling it, and keeping it, because I love the cut of the skirt, and I LOVE the print. Oh I sure do love me a celestial print! It makes me think of The Golden Compass. Or Sting's The Soul Cages.
I finally went to list the skirt on eBay a few weeks ago, and when I previewed my listing, I thought, "Nope. I'm going to get it shortened, and I am keeping it.... and I am going to wear it if it kills me!"
I took it to my seamstress last week and asked her to shorten it, and she refused. She thought I should leave it as-is, so I did.
Today, finally, I wore this skirt. My happiness factor - like the pattern on the skirt - was out of this world!
I have a few Cavalli pieces (all hunted down relentlessly on eBay), and they are all like this - sexy, quirky, imaginative. This is definitely a brand I can get behind!
