Find Friday: Take you anywhere skirt

Ladies...buying a good fashion piece does not always mean shopping in a store.

I say this because the skirt I am focusing on this week was not purchased anywhere near a store. In fact, I bought it from one of my best friends when she was going through a closet clean-out.

The skirt is a no-name brand, but it caught my eye from the start. The gradient length and sheer fabric make it look elegant and girly, and the classic vibe opens up a lot of outfit options. It is already one of my favorite new pieces and I bought it for a whopping $7. Yes...that's right. I said $7.

Why I bought it

For one, the color is great. Almost a neutral, I am able to wear this with pretty much anything. I am not restricted to one kind of style and can even find ways to style it during winter for work.

I also chose this skirt because it's on trend. When shopping through a friend’s closet it is always important to be careful with what you choose. You don't want to buy something you will end up regretting a day later.

I knew I would use this skirt a lot and get more than what my money is worth.

A plus to buying this was (obviously) the price. Finding a skirt like this for anywhere near that much money is rare. A beautified classic like this will undoubtedly cost a good chunk of change unless it's not good quality or you buy it from a consignment store.

Style options

For summer, wear a shorter top that will meet at the high-waist line of the skirt with wedges and somewhat chunky jewelry for contrast.

For fall, pair this with a leather jacket, scarf and heeled boots to look a little tough.

For winter, try some tights and a buttoned cardigan (I will trying this myself soon).
