I found myself in town on Christmas eve last year with The Gardener who needed to pick up some last minute things. It was kind of mayhem, so, smug in the knowledge that I had done all my Christmas shopping, I decided to go and have a reflexology massage. On my way there I passed Cotton On who were already on sale and I picked up the skirt you see in this .GIF and photos below….for $5. Merry Christmas to me I thought!
I’m looking forward to wearing it at Australian Fashion Week in March.
What I’m wearing:
Skirt: On sale at Cotton On
Top: I made it
Heels: River Island, from ASOS
Earrings: ASOS

I’ll never get over missing out on those shoes 🙁
Fantastic skirt!
Very elegant look.
Cheers,

I’m totally impressed by the skirt, but sshhh…… don’t tell people how easy it is to make their own clothes! All us designers will be out of business!
I’m not sure what i’m loving more, the skirt, or the shoes! Both are amazing!
You look terrific! You always manage to pull off the chic looks effortlessly… no less in a $5 skirt. Love them steals.
BARGAIN! I love a bargain! I got a top from cotton on recently for $5, it was Chrismasy with sparkles. The owner at my hairdressers said OMG where did you get that top, it looks so stunning! Love it when that happens and I say oh you know it was from cotton on 😉
Love love love!
I just love cotton on outlet stores
I just visited one in my city last weekend and bought 2x pairs of shoes and 2x blouses for $20! It’s great.
That skirt is really pretty too, I want it now
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day
Hi lady M don’t you love
it when you get a good bargain. Earrings are really cute.Goes nice with the whole outfit. Very 40s style.
awesome bargain. i love your shirt too. i know i’ve seen it on your blog a few times before but can i ask, did you use a pattern to make it and if so what pattern or how did you do it?? i really want to make a similar one and have had the material for ages but i’m not exactly sure where to start without a pattern and don’t want to waste the material!!!
