Flair Skirt, Take Three

You were probably expecting the Part 2 of my Fitting Room Pics post, with the party dresses, but I don't have much time today and I prefer to blog about the Flair skirt that went on sale in stores in all the colors and you can get for $48 until the end of the day with the MUSTHAVE promo currently going on.

I have waited for the flair skirt to go on sale for what seems like forever. I refreined myself from ordering it with the recent 25% off because I knew that it would go on sale if I only could wait a little bit more. And it FINALLY did this week and went straight to $69.99.
Now the heather acorn was the color that I wanted from the beginning but I ended up getting the navy one too. The navy is different enough from the acorn, more elegant and I don't have any navy skirts except for the liquid silk one (which is an evening skirt and more spring-y).
I had tried this skirt at the beginning of the season in my usual size 0 and it fit perfectly, so when I went to the store to get it I made the mistake not to try it on. Once home I realized that it was teeeeeeny, I could barely button it. I am almost sure that it was a defective one because I didn't gain weight this Fall. Luckily I had bought it at the store where my ps works, so I explained the situation and they exchanged it for a size 2 even if it was final sale. I bought a 2 in the navy too, just to be on the safe side: I want to wear this skirt for years to come and better a little bit loose (which actually isn't) that too small.

In the following pics I am wearing the size 0. As you can see I can barely tuck my sweater in and breath:

I love the total navy look below, I mean LOVE (the belt is the leopard calf-hair belt in the grey colorway, currently on sale in stores for $39.99 and the shirt is ancient, it comes from my closet in Italy and it's an old Emporio Armani silk blouse that buttons in the back). Isn't it very elegant?

Now, you would think that two flair skirts are enough but I have been debating the printed roses one for a long time. The problem is I don't do florals that much and I was afraid that I would end up not wearing it. However when I saw it in store for $49.99 ($34.99 with the promo), it was a no-brainer. It is an easy way to dress up for a conservative environment like school for the holidays. I actually bought a 0 in the printed one, the fabric is less stiff than the solid one.
Keep in mind that this style loves cropped cardigans, so if you buy it you probably need to have something cropped to wear with it (unless you only want to tuck in a shirt). The Boden cropped cashmere cardigan is the perfect length (and you can buy it now with 25% off):

That's it for today, I hope you all have a lovely Sunday.

Do you own the flair skirt?
