I find the shape of an A-line skirt truly romantic, flattering on all body shapes and its ability to cast a touch of femininity to even the grungiest looks simply ingenious. That alone has beguiled me into buying this bronze Nichii skirt that is absolutely smooth to the touch. Believe it or not, I already had mental images of this skirt becoming the next best friend of my wardobe before even making the purchase.

Pairing with all of my favourite items together: lace top, oxford heels, crossbody bag and colourful stackable bracelets; scepticism took the better of me initially but by not conforming to de rigueur of fashion, I find that I actually surprised myself when they somehow work together. Admittedly, I was having a fashion greed moment that day, which wasn't such a bad thing after all until the security guard came to chase me off thinking I wasn't a resident in the neighbourhood, and worse, thought I was doing some commercial photography without permission.
