Beanie - No Name

Lace Up Booties - Vintage

I bought this skirt on Target.com, because I thought it was an exposed zipper skirt and exactly what I was looking for (see picture above)! But when I got the skirt...the zipper was covered with a unfortunate flap! BOOO!

Did Target change the artistic integrity of Richard Chai's Design?
