This silk skirt was a recent purchase at Banana Republic. It was a mere $6.00 (originally $79.50). I couldn’t believe I found both colors in a size 0 (regular) in store. The silk material feels really nice and luxurious. I love the bold pattern but not the fit. It looks a bit boxy on me. I am thinking about slimming down both sides.
What I am wearing:
Romper (worn as top): F21 - size S (buy similar here or floral version here)
Skirt: BR Ikat silk skirt - 0R (buy here or dress version here)
This outfit probably is the brightest outfit I have ever worn =) Those colors are striking but the fabric is keeping me cool during those hot summer hikes for sure.

I vote for slimming the skirt down a bit. It does look rather big on you. I love the color and pattern of it though. LOL on the last picture, sitting stylishly on a bucket of driveway coating. Have a good night, Sidney.
I agree with Vicky- the skirt looks big and wide on you. I like the unique colors and print. So great for color blocking. And the blue looks amazing on you:D
slimming it down would be great. $6?? thats crazy! great find :) i do love the bright colors in this post, tho. the skirts pattern is so pretty
That skirt is fabulous and unique! What a great addition to your wardrobe. I agree with you, it does seem to need some slimming. I really love the romper, in the photo it looks like better quality fabric than what is typical from F21, but judging from your shrinking experience, I guess it's not. It looks great as a top though :)
What a coincidence, I just bought this skirt myself! It will arrive tomorrow (I've been tracking like crazy) and I'll post pictures as soon as I get it! I was planning to pair it with a blue top as well :)
Needless to say, you're looking great!
Bold colors is something that I've been wanting to wear more and more lately, thanks to all you bloggers out there :) Way to expand your style, Sydney! I think the skirt is worth slimming b/c you bought it for so cheap. it would look great worn higher-waisted as well as like a normal pencil skirt.
PS - Your hair is GORGEOUS today. I wish I had the patience to straighten mine to look like that all the time ;)
I LOVE the cobalt blue + orange! This is such a stunning combination and looks so fab on you Sydney! Hope you had a wonderful weekend :)
Looove that skirt Sydney, the pattern is gorgeous and wow for the price that's awesome! Was this from the BR outlet or the store? I wonder if I could find it here since our outlets don't carry petites. it will probably fit me since it's slightly big on you :)
That romper makes a nice top. I never jumped on the romper trend b/c I didn't like the idea of taking the whole thing off to go to the bathroom :P
I got mine for $6, too! I just added your link to my post here: http://thepetitefittingroom.blogspot.com/2011/07/br-silk-ikat-pencil-skirt_19.html
Now that Vicky mentions it...it does look a little wide. I am about to go into my closet to try it on again! Lol! But for $6, it is a great buy for 100% silk!
Gorgeous colours, Syd! I love how you used contrasting colours - blue & orange. The top is cute like that and I'm glad you're still making use of it.
You look great in those colors! I love the outfit. :)
I love the bold color/print combination! Very unexpected but totally addicting!
wow, you found this skirt for $6?!! that's an incredible steal! i love how you paired the blue with the orange. definitely one of my fave color combinations. you wear color so well, Sydney!

blue and orange is one of my favorite color combos, and girl, you are rocking it! I agree with you about slimming the sides...but totally worth it when the skirt was so cheap!
I just love that blue color on you! since it's a romper I have something similar to that but Im afraid it's use restroom if your in public places when wear a romper and a skirt outside.
@Elaine A (TOBeautyReviews) Elaine, this skirt was from the regular BR store. It probably still is available at your local stores. You should check it out.
@Michelle Thank you for reminding me. I totally forgot you have the same skirt =)
I love the color mix, so pretty! I do agree with everyone that maybe slight tailoring at the sides would help slim it down just a tad.
@Anna Thank you for letting me know. I can't wait to see it on you. If you're looking for styling ideas for this skirt, check this out =)
I love the brights!
They look lovely on you.
Stop by sometime, Xoxo Natalie

I so wanted this skirt when i first saw it on Anh from 9-5chic. But was too pricey for my budget. And one day when I went window shopping n found this skirt for $13 + 50% off on sale.. My heart skipped a beat. but when I tried it on.. it was too boxy n big n didnt look good at all n so I left it behind. waiting to see your altered skirt.
Small business is great especially if you know what you are doing. Doing some research on how to get your target costumers will surely make the most out of your business. If you have a website and you want it to generate more costumers for you, trust me you can actually make that happen.
Beautiful outfit, I love the blue romper!! Nice blog! xx.
