Dalmatian print

I spotted this Kate Spade animal print skirt on couple of my favorite bloggers and fell in love with the design, but not the nearly $300 price tag.

As luck would have it, I happened upon this new with tags dalmatian print skirt from Loft at the consignment shop and snatched it up for $16. I didn't even try my luck to see if it would still be in the store after the price break date. As much as I hate to pay full price, sometimes I can make an exception.

  2. The print is nearly identical! That's crazy. I know it happens, but I don't usually see duplicate patterns so soon. And in a nearly duplicate shape. I love the pleats and the awesome scalloped top together. So polished.
    And I don't fault you when "full price" is still a fraction of the retail. Totally worth it.

  3. I love animal print skirts. Love the length of this skirt. And you can never go wrong with black and white.

  5. When full price is $16, I think you can easily forgive yourself for giving in now and then. This dalmatian print skirt really is lovely, and the cost per wear, I'm sure, will be far more satisfying than it would have been if you've splurged on the Kate Spade version. (And let's face it, I suspect the quality is exactly the same - nothing irks me more than paying for a label.) This is a black and white look that I would happily steal from you - your collection of scalloped pieces always steals my heart, but somehow I never stumbled upon any myself. I'm going to have to start looking harder!

  12. You are too funny...I think $16 is an amazing price for this skirt! Definitely worth it. I love the Kate Spade one too but this one looks just as good. I love how you styled it too!

  17. Wow, I'm impressed with how that Loft skirt really does have a similar look to the Kate Spade option (which is cute, but not $300 cute!). I love it with that scalloped top, this is a great pairing!

  23. Scallops + spots? I'm sold. There's a Kate Spade romper with a spotted print that I want so badly...if only it would go on super sale. ;-)
