I didn’t do too much shopping over the holidays – I think I wasn’t really looking for anything in particular and I didn’t feel like fighting the boxing day / week crowds.
I did manage to pick up this skirt from H&M though; I had been looking for a grey pencil skirt for a while. ย I think grey just goes with more items in my wardrobe. ย It’s not as harsh as black and much easier to work with than brown in my opinion.
Since my work environment is really casual I thought about how I would dress it down a bit and so I paired this skirt with some really casual pieces.
I took the belt off that came with it since I had planned on keeping the cardigan closed the whole time anyway. ย Here is a close up of the pattern of the skirt.
Overall I really like this skirt. ย It’s fully lined and I think the quality is really good especially for H&M. ย I didn’t get this skirt on sale, I paid $39.95 Canadian. ย But I have been searching for a grey skirt for a while now. ย The fit of the skirt reminds me of another H&M skirt I have – the black lace one that many other petite bloggers have. ย I have worn the lace skirt several times already and have yet to take a picture!
My one pet peeve with this skirt that I noticed throughout the day that the lining kept peaking through when I sat down and sometimes when I stood up if I didn’t readjust the skirt. ย I wonder if hemming just the lining a smidge would help at all. ย Thoughts?
And I wore my Christmas present from my husband – my single Tahitian pearl necklace ๐ ย <3
Has anyone else seen this skirt at H&M? ย I saw it in black and an orangy red colour as well. ย I think the size 2 would fit a lot smaller petites well.
