Splendid Skirt: Peridot London Hopkins Wrap Leather Pencil Skirt from My-Wardrobe.com

It seems a new trend for AW13 is the asymmetrical, jagged edged wrap skirt.  They've been spotted on the catwalks of all sorts of designers including Prada, Band of Outsiders, Emporio Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo and Acne, so definitely a popular style for the season!  Plain, patterned, neutral and colourful - anything goes as long as it's a wrap.

These skirts are actually very versatile.  A funky, geometric patterned one could be paired with a plain t-shirt for an offbeat, casual look.  Or team a dark, plain one with a blazer and classic white blouse for a chic, office look.  Choose a floral one and pair with a light summer top for an ethereal, delicate look.  Or match the skirt and top for an elegant, evening look.

My favourite that I have found, however, is this fantastic, Hopkins leather one by Peridot London, available on the My-Wardrobe.com site.   It would be pretty much perfect for any occasion, teamed with the right pieces and accessories.  I'd wear it with a white top, but then pair with killer neon heels and jewellery for a really stunning look.

It's brand new, so no discounts or sales and it's £370 - but it's a quality, timeless, investment piece.  My-Wardrobe.com are offering free worldwide delivery until the end of the month with the code GLOBALSHIP so that's something at least!

Delightful Dress: Original Recipe Dress from Modcloth

Oh I do love researching fabulous clothing and accessories for this blog.  I have found another amazing US  site called Modcloth, which specialises in independent, retro-inspired designers and I pretty much want everything there!  They have a wonderful selection of dresses and shoes especially, and they also have a superb sale on at the moment.  They ship to the UK for about $17 (about £11), not including any customs charges.

I've found it really difficult to pick just one item for this post.  Therefore, I have started to develop the concept of Savvy Chic, Canny Style and have created a website where I can post more ideas and gorgeous fashion bargains.  So have a look over at the site for some more of my sale picks, visit Modcloth or carry on reading here!

I have chosen a simple, classic wrap dress from the sale.  Made from organic cotton and elastane skimming the hips, it will fit beautifully, with the sash clinching the waist perfectly.   A wrap dress is timeless, so will work season after season so it's a great investment.  The colours and pattern of this dress are ideal also - fairly neutral, so will work with anything, but it can be jazzed up with some colourful accessories.  I'd team this with some strappy sandals for summer chic.  Originally $129.99, it's currently $90.99 - so about £60 - and comes in UK sizes 8 to 16.
