Inspired by Toast

So when I went back to the Toast website yesterday, I looked at their catalogue for the first time since this spring ( I signed up for their catalogue hoping I'd get a printed one, but no deal).  It's mostly out of my price and/or style range, but I love their lookbooks (and the site includes videos of the item in action)!  I'd say it's kind of a cross between Anthropologie (more $$ but better quality) and Emersonmade (drools).  Anyway, I came across this skirt:

which reminded me of a long vintage wool skirt that I`ve been meaning to wear.  It's such a no-no for my height and shape, but I really love this look right now. I seem to have picked up a couple in the last year or so but am just now getting into the wearing of them.  The recent addition of heels to my wardrobe may have been the catalyst / requirement!

And it must be fate, since the Feathered Perch skirt at Anthropologie went on sale today too...I've been on such an exclusively vintage kick for the last few years- I think I'm experiencing some sort of collective/uniqueness phenomenon now, where suddenly the prospect of multiple copies of something is as enticing as the one-of-a-kind element (assuming that the online image is some sort of Platonic ideal, I guess...oh god, I think it is...!)
