I had been stalking the Express website for this ruched skirt for what seemed like months. After admiring it on Gina, Carylee, and Rachelle, I was thrilled when it finally popped back up on the site. Better yet, it was also on sale for under twenty dollars. You can't beat that! The fabric is stretchy and extremely forgiving, and I love that it doesn't have a zipper. It feels like wearing pajamas, especially when paired with a simple soft tee shirt. I decided to polish it up by adding elegant touches. This may very well be my new favorite wardrobe staple. I love how easy it's going to be to dress up or down. The only concern I have is making sure that my lady bits remain covered because it has a tendency to ride up a bit after sitting down for a prolonged period of time. I can manage though, the ruching is what makes it more unique. Thank you for the inspiration ladies!

  14. Haha, I laughed too when I wrote about my "lady bits". What else can we call them on the internet?! Anyway, the skirt really isn't as much of a problem as it may seem. I would size up if you are looking to get one though. I am a size 6 in bottoms and the medium in this fits great, albeit a bit snug. I think that's the general look of it though. Great with looser tops or a jacket on top
