Oooh I love this skirt! The two side slits are super nice. I love the flat waistband without any ties! I prefer it in black, but both options are so nice. I think having the flat waistband makes it more elevated than the other long version of this skirt with the waistband ties. Pic 1: paired with Pool Party align cropped tank size 8. Pics 2-3: paired with ribbed softstreme perfectly oversized cropped crew size 8, powered blue (I think!).
