iWant. I Need: Long Jersey Skirt

Rick Owens Right, Black Market Baby Left

I've been noticing the past few seasons on the runway the advent of a skirt shape that has quietly snuck it's way into my personal must-have list. It's nothing as gimmicky as bubbles, or peplums but the long jersey skirt is definitely a new classic. You may have seen this sort of skirt shape on the Olsens (particularly Mary-Kate) but I'm hoping it'll be coming to my closet soon.

The recent Net-a-Porter dedicated email to Rick Owens reminded me of this need. And although I love, $550 is out of my budget. But if you can afford to splurge on the Rick Owens version, feel better as the the skirt doubles as a flattering tube dress!

Fortunately a bit of googling led me to discover Canadian (Yay!) designer Audrey Cantwell and her line Salem which she sells on her Etsy shop Black Market Baby. The Salem version of the long jersey skirt definitely runs in the same vein as the Rick Owens version, but comes at a fraction of the price at a mere $60. While you're there, check out the rest of her shop for simple smoking hot slightly gothic pieces with attitude and great prices.
