This skirt arrived today and i love it. the fabric is substantial and can be worn in the fall and maybe even on a mild california winter day. i plan on wearing it with tights and/or boots. the fabric will go with a variety of colored tops and sweaters. it's not "pull on styling". it has a side zipper. fits true to size, but is longer on me than the model, but then i am pretty short. got this on sale!!
