I could list dozens of reasons, but the best answer is going to be that we're gluttons for punishment, ahah hah!
I found a skirt similar to this one, but it was an Italian design. Ah, I wanted it so much!

So, I did end up buying a green topshop bra, just not the one I had initially wanted/posted here:


I also came across a skirt I love on tumblr, but it's one size, grr:

Man, if going shirtless was acceptable for us breasted folk... that bra goes excellently with that skirt.

How far off are you from the size the skirt is? If it's close, a tailor might be able to let out the seams for you, give you a lil more room. Otherwise I'll hit the webs and see if I can find you something similar.

It's about 1 1/2 to two inches too small at best, sadly.

Oh jeez, so close... but probably not close enough. Especially since you can't actually examine it in person to see how much allowance there might be in the seams.

Outside of this Modcloth jumper, I can't find anything even remotely close. But then again, this is a very fall/winter item, and most stores haven't started stocking that stuff yet. I think you/we'll have better luck in about 2 months.

I went to target the other day and picked up a few things. The one I wanted to share apparently doesn't exist I can't find it on the website. It's this really neat Secretary Blouse (I love secretary blouses) in mauve with neat metal detailing. I also got this cardigan

I went in looking for it mustard brown but that ended up looking awful with my skin.
And I got this really neat mottled tee

Ooh, I love that tee! It looks so comfy. And I have that same cardi in mint! Well, from last year so they might have made a couple changes, but it looks about the same.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/shovava I saw this and thought of you, Biggles.

I don't always register who is posting something when I first read it... so after looking at the link, I was like "hey, I think Woody would like these too! I'll ping her!"

Haha. I do like them. And man, they are pretty reasonable. I might be tempted to buy something from that shop this fall.

This fall? Or now?

Hah! Oh man....if Donna and Tommy say I should buy it.
