Do you ever buy that one thing and honestly, it just surprises the hell out of you? I had no idea I wanted a black mini skirt but as it turns out, I most certainly do. Denim skirts, in general, are coming back with a vengeance this spring. I don’t mind a denim skirt but I don’t want to feel dowdy in one. I grew up in the denim skirt in every form generation — long, short, kind of long short, with a denim ruffle, a denim dress. Dark rinse, light rinse — you name it, we had it. (I say we because my mom, sister and I shared a closet for many years.) So needless to say, just like 90s wind suits, denim skirts are never at the top of my list which is why it surprised me that I was so drawn to this black mini skirt.

But I love a skirt in the spring and this one is mini without being mini — does that make sense? It isn’t too short and I could easily wear with heels and flats. It runs true to size with a little bit of that good stretch. You can find this skirt here!

Have you noticed my full and undying devotion to Madewell lately? Ha. Yes, you guessed it — this top is Madewell and gosh darn it I’m obsessed with it. It’s springy, flowy and it has pom-pom ties in the back. Can’t you just hear me saying to Bryan ‘get the pom-poms, Bryan!! THE POM POMS, BRYAN.” while we photographed this outfit? Yeah, you can, because I did. True story because I’m bossy like that.

You can find this top from Nordstrom here or Madewell here!

Fit Details

This top is sheer but I’m not wearing a camisole underneath it in these photos. #scandalous I do wear a cami with it though now! Just a light nude or white one works just fine! It runs a bit short, but I don’t mind it with all my high waist denim. I’m in the medium, for reference.

  1. Madewell has been my go to since discovering it this year. It does no wrong in my book. From simple T-s to jeans and handbags. This is the one store my wardrobe is covered in.
