Lust of the Week: Charlotte Russe Metallic Brocade skirt


via Charlotte Russe, $22.99

Want a skirt that you can wear anywhere and look classy and sexy? Many of us think of black being the only truly versatile colour, but white is just as versatile also! Take for example, this chic brocade ivory skirt from Charlotte Russe: made of easy to clean polyester, this soft ivory skirt features a stunning brocade gold fabric, which is a supremely classic and elegant colour combo. Add in the slimming nature of its subtle wrapping and the interesting visual detail of the bow, and this skirt will draw attention to your waist and away from your thighs and bum. You could wear this to the office or school with a classic white shirt or tee; then out to drinks, a party, or the club by changing into a top that features draping at the neck, a deep-v, or is clingy. I would love to pair this skirt with a black sweetheart neckline corset top for ultra drama. At that price, who could resist?

That's pretty cute.
Kind of like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe the occasional gem buried beneath a ton a crap.
