Casting a Spell
Skirt c/o* (Similar here) | Jean Jacket (Similar here) | Cami | Wedges (Similar)
I watch entirely too much TV. This is mainly because I am married to someone who has very similar taste in television…so, there’s no fighting over the remote, we can binge-watch an entire season of a show on a Sunday and not get mad at each other… but actually be rather pleased with how we spent our day of rest. (That’s true love, right? Haha.)
So, when we were in New Orleans you better believe we made our way over to where American Horror Story: Coven was filmed! I did a post a while back on how much I enjoyed watching Coven, and how wonderful the wardrobe department was for that show! I didn’t intend to be quite so fancy for my trip over to the Coven mansion, but if there was a time to be overdressed it would be here, right? Haha. And personally, I think this maxi skirt from Shein looks as though it could cast a spell all on its own! It’s so flowy and magical looking.
Oh, and you know how I am always complaining about my maxi skirts being too short, and I’m not even that tall? Well, the folks over at Shein heard my cries and came to the rescue. That is certainly not an issue with this skirt! Admittedly, it wasn’t the best for a day of walking, but I could hardly walk more than a few feet before someone would stop to comment on how gorgeous my skirt is. (If I handed you my card in New Orleans – here’s the outfit post I promised I would share!)
No one believed me either that this skirt was under $30! But I promise I’m not pulling your leg (you can click here to see for yourself). And I’m usually complaining about how the clothes I order do not look the ones in the photos on the website…again, that was not the case with this skirt. It looks the same in person as it did on Shein’s website. The best part about this skirt, though, is that after a long day of dragging it through dirt and puddles…I was able to put it in the washing machine, and it held up just fine! (And Oxiclean even managed to get all the stains out of it!)
I could totally be casting spells in Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies with this skirt – don’t you think? Haha. The photos above are the mansion that all the young witches live in on AHS: Coven (for those who haven’t seen it). Someone actually lives in this massive building, though,…so, we just quickly snapped a few photos in front of the gated door, and then made our way over to Lafayette Cemetery No. 1…which, I’ll talk about in another post.
Also, while we’re talking about my TV obsession, last night was the Game of Thrones season premiere! Did anyone else watch it? This season will be interesting as I had read all the “A Song of Ice and Fire” books before I watched the show…so, I always had a good idea of what was going to happen (The Red Wedding & Jon Snow debacle did not surprise me), but now that the story is deviating from the books…I have no idea what’s going to happen! Ahhh! 😉
Has anyone else ordered from Shein? And are there any other Coven or Game of Thrones fans out there? Let me know in the comments!

Oh that skirt is beautiful!! I’ve never watched AHS: Coven, but that mansion is gorgeous. I love the wrought iron detail of that gate and fence. I also love the fact that the skirt is inexpensive and washable! I usually steer away from pieces that drag because I feel like they get ruined so quickly, but that skirt is so worth it. These are such beautiful photos!!

Thank you so much, Lili! Oh yes…anything that I can’t throw in the wash I try to avoid. (I only have a few dresses that I have to dry clean.) Thank you, again! 🙂
So pretty! 🙂

Thank you so much, Mona! That mansion was pretty impressive – these photos do not do it justice! I hope you have a wonderful week too! Much love! 🙂
Very enchanting! That skirt was made for you! 🙂
Aw, thank you so much, Laurie! 🙂
You look so stunning in this flowy accordian skirt! I really love your new logo. It’s so perfect and fitting with the cute luggage and hat. So fabulous and so you! I have never bought anything from Shein, but it looks like they have nice items.

Aw, thank you so much, Joanna! Kathy from Lace & Whimsy created it for me. I’m a huge fan of Shein – they have such unique pieces and you can’t beat their prices! 🙂
You look so gorgeous!! This skirt is absolutely bewitching ? I love the pink contrast against the black tank too. These photos are all so beautiful and you can tell how much fun you were having on your trip.

Love this whole outfit! The light skirt with the dark top and then light denim jacket= perfection! I especially love the pic of you looking down on the steps…totally gorgeous! That skirt is awesome and I may need to make my first Shein purchase! XO

PS- I’m rocking the tail end of a sprained wrist…I’ll catch up with what I missed last week later on this week 😉
Aw, thank you so much, Lauren! Oooh I can’t wait to see what you get! 🙂 And I hope your sprained wrist heals quickly! That is no fun at all. 🙁
What a lovely skirt! It is really beautiful. I love the pleating! I saw Game of Thrones. I honestly have no idea where they’re going to take it!

Thank you so much! I love it too! And I have absolutely no idea what’s going on right now either on GOT, haha. (Glad I’m not the only one!)
That is a wonderful, wonderful skirt! You look glorious in it. Like a celeb at the ceremonies!!! The location is amazing. I’ve not seen that programme at all. We don’t have a TV so I don’t catch much unless it is on UK catch-up TV!!
Aw, you are too kind, Kezzie! 🙂 Thank you! And kudos to you for not owning a TV!
oh my gosh you look AMAZING!!!!! that skirt really is amazing. I really can’t stop looking at these photos haha you look awesome! I wish I could wear maxi skirts but they just drag on the floor with me! I’ve been meaning to check out Shein as I’ve heard really great things and now that I know they are so affordable I definitely will!

Aw, thank you so much, Lee! Shein is beyond affordable – this skirt is actually the most expensive piece I own from them. Haha. Just be sure to double-check the sizing table on the item before you order. Just about everything I’ve ordered has been true-to-size (as was the case with this skirt..I’m usually a medium and the medium fit just as it normally does), but every once in a while something will have slightly wonky sizing.
