I have been wanting to get a Miss Candyfloss skort (part skirt, part shorts, if you’re unfamiliar with the term) for a while now, but the Idalia-Lee, my favorite from this year’s “Viva Rita” collection, sold out super fast in multiple sizes. When I saw that it was back in stock in a size smaller than I usually wear, I decided to take a chance since the size chart for this particular item is pretty generous. It ended up being a good decision, because my regular size would have been way too big on me! It’s a beautiful shade of navy blue that will go with just about anything, but in some lights, you get some hints of purple, too! From the front, it basically looks like a skirt:

From the back, however, you see the built-in shorts!

I chose some mint accessories, to pick up the color in the Cleona-Floria blouse, including my fascinator and stack of Splendette Duchess bangles. I also added an Erstwilder brooch in a very neutral gold:

This skort is very comfortable to wear and light and breezy…perfect for the warmer months!

I’m really glad I could add this summer staple to my wardrobe…now I just need to find more blouses to wear with it!
