In January when I posted about my first wax print skirt I mentioned that I’d bought a second skirt from Canberra-based company Prodigal Daughter. Well, here it is! Like the gorgeous full midi skirt that I bought previously from Anna Devine it’s a riot of bright colours and good quality cotton fabric.
This skirt is fully lined in cotton, giving it a bit more structure than the average pencil skirt. The size 16 that I bought is a snug fit, but there’s a slit at the back that makes it fine for striding about in.
I’m still struggling a bit with what to wear with my wax-print skirts. I don’t have a lot of plain coloured tops, and I’m not really confident enough in my pattern-matching skills to teams prints with prints. I decided to team this with my old gold polkadot tee from Gorman, and a navy tie-front cardigan from Katies.
The skirt is waistband-less, and pocket-less, with a sleek invisible zipper installed at the back. The minimalism suits the bold print, which is mirrored on the rear too.
It’s a great, bright piece that will inject a bit of colour into a grey day as the weather cools in Melbourne.
I think the skirt would look great with a paisley top in similar colors.
Wow, I love this a lot! The necklace ties it all together.
You have such great style! I love it!
Have you ever seen any of the Pho Sizzle Threads stuff – they use African Wax cotton as well. Melbourne based. http://phosizzlethreads.com/
Pick out one of the colours in the skirt like the blue or aqua and wear it on top…
Hi Lili,
I felt I should say hi because I’ve seen some people recommending my brand PHO sizzle a few times now through back links. 😉
I love Anna Devine’s stuff and I see her often at Rose St Market where I sell sometimes. Her squares of wax cotton that she sells are rad for making headwear. If you’re into wax homewares, B.Dakin has some awesome cushions and chairs: http://bdakin.com/ .
In terms of what to wear with wax, I feel you – I made a post about it on my blog a while ago, it probably isn’t useful at all (and FWI, I think that skirt looks rad with that spotty top) but here’s the link: http://www.fashionpho.com/2014/10/26/how-to-wear-african-wax-cotton/
Cheers,
