Since I recently had great luck scoring a real leather pencil skirt at the thrift store for next to nothing, I decided to hunt for a suede version. Thankfully, I found this vintage style on eBay for less than $30 and in my size! I love the 70’s vibe that it has, plus the color is perfect for fall – I can’t wait to pair it with a chunky knit & tights when the weather gets cooler. For now, though, I decided to keep the retro theme going with a plaid scarf & fold-over clutch, but modernized it with this structured-shoulder top & my favorite peep-toe booties.
What I’m wearing:
Balancing Act
Ruffled Chiffon
Redbook Feature
Nail Color of the Month ~ August

The skirt is really beautiful. I love the slightly A-line shape to it. Is it comfortable? I'd love to find one…but I wonder if it would feel stiff or heavy.
I always enjoy reading your thought process for putting an oufit together. It always inspires me!

I also recently thrifted a gorgeous Ann Taylor leather skirt – but I'm LOVING this suede version. You seem to have such good luck with eBay. I'd love to see a post on how you shop for clothing on the site, find the right sizing, avoid counterfeits, etc.
You look absolutely stunning!
Wow, such a great find! Amazing skirt.
Love this look! That skirt is so perfect for transitioning to fall/winter!

Beautiful Skirt Kimberly and the whole look is wonderful !
Lisa: the skirt is actually not that heavy – while it does have more structure to it (and no stretch, since it's suede), it is still comfortable to wear and easy to move around in.
MegB: I actually did a post with my personal tips & tricks for shopping on eBay that you can find here ~ https://www.pennypincherfashion.com/2011/11/ask-ppf-ebay-shopping.html
Absolutely love this! That skirt is so amazing.
