One key wardrobe piece that I have wanted for this fall is a long leather or faux leather maxi skirt. I have been searching secondhand and honestly was not coming up with what I wanted, or they were priced higher than I want to pay, and then, so luck has it, one popped up in H&M online.
I know that secondhand is better than fast fashion, but I also know realistically that a lot of people can only afford fast fashion and that is okay.
I have been shopping there for years, and I have pieces that I have also had for years.
And I actually still have the first shirt I bought there in 2005, and it is in great condition.
So that is my way of saying that yes, often the quality of pieces are not meant for longevity, but every once in a will you find that little gem that is perfect in appearance and quality and you know you will have it and wear it for years.
That’s how I feel about this skirt.
It is heavy faux leather and doesn’t have the rubbery texture that many faux leather pieces have.
The sizing is accurate, and then length is exactly what I was looking for. Oh, and the slit in the back isn’t extremely high which often happens and turns me away from buying a piece.
The stock is extremely limited in sizing right now, but I have noticed it coming in and out of stock so it may help to get it to send you a stock notification.
Anyway, that’s my long-winded way of saying that was my purchase this week and that sometimes you find real gems in the unlikeliest places if you are paying attention.
