Yesterday, whilst heading to South Kensington, to visit the V&A Museum. Lindsay & I stumbled upon a Sample Sale. Lindsay saw it first & I'm glad she did. She asked me who Peter Pilotto was & immediately remembered how much I loved his work from the Peter Pilotto x Target collaboration, back in 2014. So of course, we went in!

I had never been to a sample sale before, but trust you me, my love of fashion has not faded after all these years. Those who know me, know I still sometimes live stream fashion week in the comfort of my own bed. 

The idea of a sample sale though, is it's the designer selling off pieces that they've made during production. They're good enough to wear, but aren't the finalized production pieces, so you get them for a fraction of the price.

All in all, it was fun girl-time shopping experience & I had a good time talking to Sophie, one of the Peter Pilotto interns. In the end, I decided to pick up this beautiful slit pencil skirt I found. The print & color gave me hints of Asian inspiration, and it reminded me of something you could wear to a high class holiday party. I love the blocking of the print down the center, and the low but playful slit at the bottom. 

It ended up being a perfect the pick-up for the next day, when we went to Wicked! I just paired it with a neutral wool blend sweater from Zara. Anyhow, it was a fun find & will most definitely be a memorable staple piece. Just though I'd share! Thanks for reading! Love, Jen
