When I bought this skirt last fall, I had no idea it would be a piece that would grow to be such a special part of my wardrobe. Since I've had it, though, the beautiful print and feminine cut have kept me wooed and I still find myself wanting to reach for it again and again. I documented it on the blog in the fall as well as the winter, and now here it is once more as we reach springtime. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also paired so unexpectedly well with this gorgeous teal shade of nail polish (a first for me!), subduing it and preventing the colour from looking too kiddy.

I am absolutely loving this Jen! The pattern mixing is amazing, and seriously, that skirt was made for you. The cut is perfection with your figure! Also loving the locale haha, my dad's law office is right near the courts so I spend lots of time around the law courts waiting for him when I need a ride home!

The pattern really is gorgeous! Every time I spot it at H&M, I always rush over to take a look, hoping that they'll re-release a version of this skirt!

Oh my God, I'm wearing a VERY similar outfit to work today! Except I added some black tights underneath because it's still pretty cool in TO :) And don't you just love Slapper? I thought I'd love Trout Pout more but Slapper looks so much better in person :)

The skirt was a great purchase -- so elegant with great fluidity of motion. Love the striped sweater you've paired with it, all cinched in with a skinny belt. A very classic and feminine look, lovely!

I remember hearing so late about the Fall Conscious Collection (a few days before the launch) and being so sad when I couldn't find anything left in stores the day after the launch. I had seen pictures of this skirt on your blog, and that's why it was the one piece I really wanted to see in person but unfortunately had no luck. Since then, I've been living vicariously through you :P and enjoying seeing how you wear it every season, and I have to say I've loved all variations. It truly is a wonderful piece!

I love this skirt and I really like how you styled floral with stripes, very original! I think the H&M Conscious Collection is one of their best lines.
