ASOS…I love you so….

This is not a poodle skirt! I repeat, it’s not a poodle skirt!  

Obviously, I’ve gotten that comment several times today. No…instead it’s quite the find from ASOS and I hate to say….it’s sold out. However, let me be the first (or perhaps the one hundredth) to regale you with the virtues of ASOS.

 ASOS:

#1: They offer unusual and trendy styles

#2: They offer unusual and trendy styles at affordable prices (with tons of sales too!) 

#3: They have a wonderful “Fashion Finder” section with Style news, style inspiration, blogger style challenges and a “create-a-style” builder!

 #4: Free shipping for orders over $25 (as if anyone would not spend over $25!)

 #5: Their Marketplace site offers unique and vintage pieces from independent boutiques from around the world!

  

So now you know how much I love ASOS. Just based on this skirt alone, I’d love it!

Today’s look pairs the ASOS pink, midi scuba skirt with an Ann Taylor shirt (yes, it does say “love” on it but if one must have something scrawled across one’s boobs, let it be “love”), MIA heels and my Chloe+Isabel torsade necklace.

Add a twirl and you’re ready for the day!

 Xoxo..Cortneybre…

Ahhh…what a beautiful Wednesday we’re having today! It’s warm, the sun is shining and Spring has finally taken hold.

I decided to wear one of my recent ASOS purchases today. It’s a beautiful bright pink, midi, scuba skirt (what a mouthful!). I bought it a few months ago and I’ve featured it several times on the blog. I’m quite pleased with its versatility as I’ve been able to pair it with lots of different tops and its gotten much use.

One piece of advice – if you buy this skirt (and unfortunately I think it’s sold out now but if you do find one like it), be prepared for compliments, LOTS of compliments! I’ve been literally chased down from afar to be asked about this skirt. (check it out here!)

Today’s look was more of a classic and simple one. I paired the skirt with a button up blouse with ruffled cuffs (old but I love this one), a skinny black belt and my cap toed, tan and black Kate Spade wedges (buy them here!). Of course, pearls were needed and that helped complete the look! (old but love, love, love this one at my boutique!)

I also brought out one of my most prized possessions, my Louis Vuitton bag. I don’t wear it often but I was in the mood for a little extra class today!

This skirt is heavy, man…

This skirt is heavy, man…no – seriously – it’s like 95% polyester and it’s heavy!  Introducing…drum roll please….my ASOS Full Midi Skirt in Scuba!  {Just ignore the background change in the pictures too please…it started raining and I was forced to seek shelter lest I be drenched}

I’ve heard a lot about scuba fabric but didn’t quite understand what it was and why all the hype until I received this skirt.

Scuba is a thick, stretchy, polyester blend.  It is heavy but it holds shape well and is quite comfortable.  Pleated scuba skirts are wonderful, especially midi skirts with pleats as the material hangs beautifully.

I’m quite happy with my ASOS purchase.  I’ve gotten many compliments on the skirt today and several people wanted to touch the fabric because it is a bit unusual.

ASOS also offers this skirt in black and I might splurge and purchase just one more.  I don’t typically buy multiples but this skirt is a classic and it’s so versatile I can wear it with anything!  Enjoy your day!!  Cortneybre…
