White Lace Skirt

Skirt: Loft (also available in curvy fit) / Tee: Here / Jacket: Loft / Shoes: old, similar Here / Bag: Kate Spade / Earrings: Here / Bracelet: Here / Lip: Urban Decay ‘Obsessed’ Lipstick

I went shopping at Loft last week for some new spring outfits.  They were running a sale the day I was shopping, everything was 40% off.   I was so excited to get this skirt for only $47!!  I am a mother of 2 and not in my early 20’s any more, I some times find it difficult to find clothing that fits well and doesn’t break the bank.  I was pleasantly surprised by how well everything fit me, the quality, the reasonable pricing and the friendliness of everyone who works there.
