Marc love

A client recently asked me to recreate a skirt she found while browsing Oprah magazine in a doctors office.  She loved the skirt so much, she sweet talked the receptionist into letting her take the magazine.  After seeing a picture of the skirt, I would have done the exact same thing.

She is the merchandising manager at Guilt Group.  Can we say best job ever?

Seriously.  This doesn't get any more perfect.  Horizontal navy/white stripes and high waistband means I will automatically love it, but the extra wide waistband, full t-length skirt, and exposed zipper?  yes please.  It's a $530 Marc Jacobs skirt found here.  But I am bound and determined to create its identical twin.

Here are some more shots so you can oooh and ahhh.

    I have a serious addiction to B&W stripes. I remember swooning after seeing it in the magazine - but never thought of making it myself!

    Excited new follower!
