| Eliza J Wisteria Skirt |
Cynthia: I have been falling in love with a designer I know nothing about.
Marcy: You’re so easy.
Cynthia: Seriously, Marcy! Every time I see a cute dress or skirt lately, it just so happens to be designed by Eliza J. I bought that pretty pink skirt above from Anthropologie and when I looked at the label, guess what it said? Go on. Guess.
Marcy: I couldn’t.
Cynthia: C’mon. Guess.
Marcy: No.
Cynthia: Eliza J!
Marcy: I would’ve never figured that out.
Cynthia: Who is Eliza J? Why have I never heard of her before? Why can’t I seem to find any info about her on the Internet? This Eliza J… is … elusive.
Cynthia is dumbfounded.
Cynthia: Her dresses are sweet and pretty but with just enough edge and sex appeal that they don’t feel like they belong exclusively at a southern bridal shower.
They just … make me smile!

Cynthia: Sigh … I’m smitten. And the thing is… I think she loves me too.
Marcy has been researching Eliza J on the computer while Cynthia moons about.
Marcy: Found her. She’s the house brand for Nordstroms and other such retailers.
Her website is ElizaJDresses.com and her motto is “Live In The Sunshine” and her hashtag is #feelpretty.
Cynthia: Awwww… see.. I knew she loved me too. She “gets” me.
Marcy: You’re fired from the Marcy Very Much research team.

Cynthia’s eyes bug out.
Cynthia: Gasp! It’s like – the fashionista set raided my closet and declared me – “in style’.
Cynthia (wide-eyed): Do you think?
Marcy (scoffing): No.
Cynthia smiles happily.
Cynthia (bashfully): I’ve never really been “in style” before.
Marcy: Just promise me and Freddy that when it all goes back out of style, you’ll finally relinquish the flared jeans, gaucho pants, and headbands.
Cynthia: Why?
Marcy shudders as she remembers Cynthia obliviously leaving the house in bell bottomed jeans and a Hilary headband when the rest of the world was wearing skinny crops.
Marcy: Because when those items are out of style, they are OUT. OF. STYLE.

Cynthia: They’re baaaaaaack!
Marcy: What’s back?
Cynthia: Knee-length spring skirts. I thought we’d be wrestling with mid-thigh skirts forever. My knees were getting so embarrassed.
Marcy (shuddering at the thought of Cynthia’s knees): You think your knees were embarrassed, how about your cat?
Cynthia: Well, you and my knees can rejoice because knee-length skirts is where it’s at. The beige chevron striped skirt I am wearing here is from ModCloth.
Cynthia: It’s a cotton/linen blend. It sits at the waist and has pockets. It has a tendency to wrinkle (you know, linen) but not so much that I am put off by it. It’s super comfy, goes with everything and… it’s on sale for $34.99! Yeah, baby!
Cynthia performs a groovy skirt/sale disco dance while yelling “woot woot.” Much to Marcy’s disgust.
Cynthia (still grooving): Knee-length a-line skirts are always twirl-worthy and have a cool feminine 70’s vibe.
Marcy: If you start singing Andy Gibb songs I’m leaving.
Cynthia stops suddenly. She takes a deep breath. She looks at Marcy with a sappy smile.
And then…
She scoops up Marcy.
Cynthia (singing an Andy Gibb song): “I just want to be your everything…”
Marcy leaps off of Cynthia in a hissy fit and hides in the closet. She plans to stay there until Cynthia’s disco fever has ended.
Cynthia (calling after her): Fine, Marcy. I don’t need to disco dance when there are knee-length spring skirts to buy!
Woot woot!
Okay, Awesome Readers, join me after the jump break for some shameless shopping for the best knee-length skirts this spring!
Marcy hisses.
