This sailor skirt from Express has become my life! It is my go-to staple item for days when I need to look fabulous without having to try too hard. I paired the skirt with a bodysuit and the Oxford boots from the Eva Mendes collection in the shade Classic Sangria. I do own a lot of pieces from the Eva Mendes collection because I work at one of eleven boutiques in the country as an Eva Mendes Stylist. The fancy title does allow me to have dibs on these items but they are still extremely affordable for the fashionista on a budget. Right now, the bodysuits are retailing between 60-80% the original price!
Coming back to this amazing and versatile skirt; it has been worth every single penny! Unfortunately, this skirt was not on sale and was purchased for its regular ticket price: $59.95. Now, before you freak out and hate me for demonstrating a not-so-budget-friendly piece, allow me to give a quick fashion-math lesson. Realistically, I do not wear this skirt on a daily basis because, lets face it, change is good. However, I do reach for it on the weekly when I go out with bae or with my ride-or-die ladies. If you take the price of the skirt (rounding it up to $60) and divide it by the number of weeks in a year (52), you get an average of about $1.15 per wear!!! $1.15 is a lot cheaper than my kiss-sized boba tea!
Not only do I get my money's worth, I get 52 weeks of non-stop compliments and envious stares.
