Ever since my first purchase of the J. Crew double serge wool skirt last year, I've been in love with J. Crew skirts.  Not only are the beautiful colors right up my alley, but the construction of the skirt is always very well done and lends itself easily to multiple wears over time.  I picked up this felted wool mini skirt a couple weeks ago when J. Crew had a 30% off sale.

While it is still quite a bit of money to pay for a simple skirt, I have no doubt that this skirt will get it's worth in wear.  And for those wondering, the skirt actually still is quite bit roomy as-is in the tummy area, so hopefully I can even keep on wearing it for a good majority of the next 9 months.  :)  My only complaint is that the material does wrinkle a bit more easily than my previous J. Crew skirts -- these pictures were taken at the end of a long workday {morning sickness is no joke} and you can tell how wrinkly they became after a long day of sitting...  Given how much I love this skirt though, I might just consider carrying some Febreze wrinkle release with me to make up for this one minor gripe.  What do you guys think?
