It’s no secret I’m a tiki lover. There’s something about the
whole tiki look that just gives me that happy feeling inside. As well as a love
of tiki, I love pieces that are versatile. Nothing makes me happier than an
outfit I can wear styled different ways to create different looks. Pieces that seem to want to fight versatile styling tend to
make me sad so I was thrilled that I found this skirt to be such a winner. For
me, the V2 wiggle skirt in leopard from Lady K Loves definitely ticked all
those boxes!
The V2 wiggle skirt is wiggle style made by Lady K Loves.
Available in black, leopard, jade and brandy wine there is a colour in this skirt
to suit any gal. With their design based on their killer cigarette pants these
skirts feature a fitted waist and knee as well as a longer length, something
that is truer to an actual 1950’s wiggle skirt. A back zip and button make for
easy closure and wear as well as a slight back slit for ease of walking and a
bit of a breeze. This skirt is beautifully made, comfortable to wear and killer
to style.
As I mentioned in my last post about Lady K Loves, one
reason they’re currently one of my favourite brands is their amazing fit. They’re
a brand that fit my smaller waist and bigger hips without shapewear (I went
sans foundations for this review too!) which in the coming summer months I know
I’ll be extremely grateful for! Its already proving that its going to be a
particularly humid one here in Sydney Australia and some days its simply too humid to even think of wearing my
foundations (which is definitely making me sad). I’m wearing this killer skirt
in a size Large! While it was initially snug it did stretch out a bit after a
wear and the fabric breathes well.
Since I am talking about a wiggle skirt, which can be a bit
of a gamble for thigher thighed gals during the warmer months. Previously as I
wasn’t walking all that much it wasn’t something I’d have to consider but since
moving its become something I’ve really had to think about so I thought I’d
stop here and give a few pointers on ways I like to help prevent thigh rubbing
and other options I’ve read that are really good!
The first option of course is to put a physical barrier
between your thighs. This can be done a variety of different ways.
1.
You could wear bike shorts (something I’m known
to do when I’m walking to or from the station in looser skirt)
2.
You can wear a band around your thigh such as a
Bandelette . These have had good reviews from what I’ve seen and I’m actually hoping
to give them a go soon
3.
A pair of long legged ‘underwear’ such as the
functional anti-chaff knickers from the Big tights company or the cute lace
shorties (and matching tops) of Undersummers
4.
One of my favourite options in cooler months is
to wear a Panty girdle, such as Rago #6207 or the #6201. Both not only smooth
your figure but the barrier helps prevent thigh rub
One of the other options that I’ve read about is Body Glide
anti chaffing balm. I’ve been hearing the praises of this sung a lot online and
its definitely something I want to give a go!
I’m also loving the versatility of this fun skirt. So far I’ve
worn it with a few different tops and it just goes with so much! Comfortable
and versatile! Two of my biggest things I look for when picking items for my wardrobe!
The V2 skirt retails for £45.00/$75.51AUD with international shipping! + shipping and they do post worldwide! So no matter where you are you can have
I hope you’ve all enjoyed this post and I’ve got more
gorgeous goodies from Lady K Loves coming your way in December and in the new
year too!
I’m also super excited to say some changes are going to mean
I’ll be able to bring you all better blogs in 2017, as I’ll have access to
transport on my shoot days again!
Til next time darlings!
