…response required… (Side-Eye)
Twelve by Twelve Mesh Covered Skirt, $29
When did this skirt become overkill?
a – the floral print

c – the ruching
d – the black piping
e - the exposed zipper on one side
f - the ruffled stabby mesh explosion on the left thigh

I’m going with C as well. I think the black mesh COULD have toned down the femininity of the floral print. But C-F killed it.

the f is ruching
reminds me of douching

(a)
the print clearly came first, and it is heinous. They obviously had a bunch of this crap fabric and wanted to use it up, but they knew they had to disguise it. Disguise Fail. But Distraction Almost Win.
Guess there’s no need to get started on the shoes.

HA!!!
Ugh. Just too much! But I bet the person that wears it….”YOU CAN’T TELL HER NOTHING!”
Starting with the floral print and everything thereafter.
.-= Miss Janey´s last blog ..A change in Tune =-.
i gotta say e the zipper maybe they thought that putting every trend of the season would have been a grea idea
I’ll go with F. Ugh.
I would definitely say C. The floral print was fine. The overlay made it look a bit…different. The ruching just took it to a whole new level.
.-= Sheena´s last blog ..Dreaming Of…Kate Kanzier =-.
I thinking it became overkill when A B and C
I definitely think they could have stopped at the floral print. Uuugh!
.-= Niki´s last blog ..its midterm time! =-.
Hmm, I’m trying to be objective because nothing about this skirt is my style! But lets see… I think it gets unbearable around (d) the piping. But they could have stopped at (a), and made just a nice normal floral mini skirt (not that I really even like the pattern, but still). Ok, I got my meanness out for the day now, I feel good!
.-= Ashley´s last blog ..Marshalls Fashion Finds =-.
I remember I first saw this skirt and seeing now…I still don’t know how I feel about it. I would probably say that F made the skirt overkill. Actually with the exception of one beautiful skirt I’ve gotten from F21′s Twelve by Twelve line. Everything is overkill from that line.

True. Very true.
d, e, f
hold on, i am going to put on my readers to have a better look…you know i like ‘excess’ myself hehehehe but even i can’t even begin to comprehend the ‘fuckedupness’ of this mess right here. if this was on sale for a fiver with an extra 76% iff, i wldn’t even buy it as a shitgift for any of the ppl on my ‘piss off list’
*pondering…
u know what i am also thinking that B is completely unnecessary here also. and fuck it throw C in the mix too cuz i’m sure that wld affect the fit of the skirt anyway…waht do we have left right A.. the floral ? ok only that can stay….
can we phone up F21 peeps and tell them to DO OVER this mess? u know what i’ m sure they don’t even care about the real customers who actually wear their clothes, but come to think of it, imagine if a well known designer did this, every other fashionista will be in ‘faux’ love and EPIC this and KILLA that all over it.
what was i saying again?….ahhhh yes….i forget, waiting for the image to erase itself …can we just forget this ever happened??
p.s>>> if this skirt appears anywhere in my dreams tonight dude, you are going to get a proper e-flogging …mark my words!:P
*hhehehe

F, definitely F. What is that a feather duster?!?
.-= Fajr | Stylish Thought´s last blog ..Success =-.
You had me at stabby mesh overlay. Should’a skipped all of it, if you ask me.
.-= Nickie Frye´s last blog ..Rare Visions =-.
im gonna go with f…immediately it freaked me out lol
.-= LaNoya´s last blog ..What EBadu Do =-.
Can I choose two??? Please??? The floral print and the black piping mutilated this skirt… Seriously…:(
.-= trE´s last blog ..“these are a few of my favorite things…” =-.
I have to say F. That looks like a botched wax job.
.-= LADIVASOSA´s last blog ..HUMAN NATURE =-.
Anything stabby bodes ill for clothes.
.-= WendyB´s last blog ..Wishful Thinking- Compact Disk =-.
F – – the ruffled stabby mesh explosion on the left thigh actually did it for me. Lord who would wear that? Oh yeah, tacky teenagers
.-= Lenya Jones´s last blog ..Shane Show – An Old Friend =-.
I’d have to say probably somewhere between
f – the ruffled stabby mesh explosion on the left thigh
&
e – the exposed zipper on one side
I can handle the piping. I can even kind of deal with the ruching, but that poofy thing? Not only does it look ridiculous, but I’m pretty sure that having had a large bird poop out mesh on to one leg would be extremely annoying to wear.
.-= M´s last blog ..Long Time No See-Lessons in Growing Up =-.
I can only pick one? Really? Because I think the black piping and meshy overlay doomed this concoction.
.-= Danielle´s last blog ..Saturday jaunt =-.
dammit…NO cheating? shoot…
well. um.
you know i’m not a floral person. but think it MIGHT have been fine before the big ruffle thing…and that damn zipper…and the friggin pipng. REALLY? PIPING?
yeah…you gonna buy it? you know you wanna diy it back to normalcy.
.-= pennerad´s last blog ..take it off- baby =-.
I could almost like it with everything else, but F kills it.
I guess I’m one of the few people who’d say I liked the look of this skirt! If the rest of the outfit has too much going on, then I’d probably take it back. If you keep everything else simple but keep this as a statement skirt, I think it’ll look just fine.

With proper styling, I’m sure it would look ok…I just don’t know if I’d be able to have that much foresight. =D
LMBOOO at all these comments.. this whole skirt is just wrong especially that ruffle detail. LIKE WHY!!!
f – the ruffled stabby mesh explosion on the left thigh
other than that, i don’t mind the skirt at all.
.-= simplychic´s last blog ..untitled =-.
Ruffly exploding thing. (Sorry, too lazy at the moment to scroll and read again)
I must say they really shouldn’t use designs over and over again but I guess this is the problem with open source designs and all … I already own this skirt in plain white with an exposed zipper.. Makes my butt look like a cloud and I like it for that same reason.
the flora print just wasn’t quite my thing
black on black would’ve been fine for me
.-= GC´s last blog ..hiking in Harriman State Park =-.
C-F was definitely an overkill. The black mesh overlay could have taken this skirt into the “night out” category but, with everything else layered on top of it, I think it’s definitely in the “bottom of the sales bin” category …
PS .. I’m new to your blog so I went back to read your post on your adventure to find a simple shirt and it was a GREAT read …
