Would You Wear the Pencey Fringe Skirt?

Here’s a new one from Shopbop – the  Pencey Fringe Skirt. It looks a little unconventional, with its fringes starting at the bottom instead of the top, unlike most fringe skirts you’d see in the stores. It also has a bit of  vintage vibe to it, which is lovely actually, but I’m not sure if I can wholly appreciate the piece.

The slinky salmon colored crochet material is actually beautiful; again, a bit on the retro. But what keeps me from loving it are those angel hair tassels. I don’t think I can bring myself to actually wear the skirt with fringes that long. It’s ironic because that detail (fringes) is what makes the skirt look unique. I guess if the fringes were shorter, perhaps around 2 or 3 inches, I wouldn’t mind putting the skirt on.

On another note, I would also love to see how this skirt would look when styled with the right pieces. Maybe it will look fabulous. Maybe it will even change my mind? I truly wonder… One thing I know though, I think this skirt would be perfect for the beach, would you agree?

So what do you think? Would you wear this Pencey Fringe Skirt if you had it? And if you would, how would you wear it? If your answer is a yes, then feel free to grab it via Shopbop. The skirt retails at a slightly high USD214. Enjoy!
