Patent & Gucci

This skirt has been in my closet and on this blog for years. I think it’s really stood the test of time because of the quality. It’s from Topshop’s ’boutique’ range and it’s made from patent leather. Whenever I’ve bought cheap pieces in pvc or vinyl they never seem to last or wear as well. Patent/pvc/vinyl pieces were really in vogue when I got this skirt and I remember being a little scandalized at the price point because it was from Tophop. I almost bought a cheaper alternative but changed my mind because, well it looked cheaper! It’s not always the case but sometimes I think it’s worth spending a little extra on quality in order to get longevity from an item.

Instagram followers will know I wear this Gucci t.shirt on the regular. But can you blame me? I’m trying to make it cost per wear effective!

Skirt: Topshop. T.Shirt: Gucci. Boots: Louis Vuitton. Earrings: Jennifer Fisher.

  5. Love the skirt and you are rocking it. There are few things more satisfying to me than buying something and it not breaking after 1 year or less. I’ve been lucky with stuff from Old Navy and Gap personally. My winter coat lasted me for a good decade at least and is still really confortable (i gotta change it next year because the zipper broke, but still impressive).

  11. This outfit looks soooo good. That skirt definitely doesn’t look cheap, so well worth the price you paid! And those boots…if only my budget allowed for it.

  12. Love the look + photos, Ashley! I especially love seeing people remix pieces they already own into fresh outfits—this skirt and shirt DEFINITELY deserve to be on repeat! Xx

  15. I appreciate that you wear pieces you already own more than once. I am so sick of people telling me I’m wearing “last season” complete with the “oh you’re…..” If I love something I could give zero what they think. My style is my style. Love the outfit. Especially love the boots and thanks to you I bought a comparison pair at an amazing price point.

  19. I gotta say, your last name piqued my interest…at the risk of sounding prejudiced, which I’m not, your Nigerian last name did not fit the profile so I followed the trails and eventually landed here! I’m so glad I did!
    Gurl! Love how you styled the skirt. Who can blame you for restyling the Gucci tee? That backdrop adds an nice pop of color to your monochrome look. I love your site!
