The stickers are super cute and have such vibrant colors! Love them!
The print is gorgeous and detailed, the material is very soft and the pockets!! THE POCKETS!! High price point is WELL worth the cost, wonderful piece of clothing that I know will last for many years. :)
This skirt is amazing! I get so many compliments on it when I wear it. I bought this one and the fire circle skirt at the same time and they're both really great!
The pockets really are massive. The first time I fit an entire library book in one pocket and skipped having to carry a bag, I think I texted three separate people about it. One thing I will say is that while the pockets *can* fit a lot, if you load up too much weight, it starts to pull down on the skirt. The elastic can only support so much. But it more than handles my phone, wallet, keys, lipstick, personal phone, work phone, and hand sanitizer. And one library book. But add another, and it starts to get a little dicey. But perfect for if you're going to be mostly sitting down and want to cram a bunch of things in the pockets. Just don't forget when you stand up! Oh, and I've never had to worry about things falling out, not matter what weird way I'm sitting. Mostly I've just had the fascinating experience of forgetting I put stuff in there. Imagine!
The waistband is great. It doesn't pinch or anything, although it can get a little restrictive at certain times of day, but I usually find that's just because I didn't adjust it to sit a little higher on my waist before sitting down for a long time.
The fabric is great and the colors are vibrant. The design is gorgeous. Perhaps a little prone to wrinkling, if you care about that sort of thing, but only really noticeable up close and only after it had been cramming in a suitcase for half a day. I've washed it many times in the washing machine (hang dry) and it seems to be wearing well. The colors haven't faded at all.
Not sure what else to say other than that I hesitated to buy these skirts for months because they seemed expensive, but I have absolutely no regrets! I will be buying more skirts from here.
This skirt is amazing! I get so many compliments on it when I wear it. Like literally every time. I think I got 4 comments in one day when I was at a work conference.

I've washed it many times in the washing machine (hang dry) and it seems to be wearing well. Perhaps starting to pill a tiny bit at the front at the boundaries of the waistband and the skirt fabric. But overall not bad for how much I have been wearing it. Pocket and other seams seem quite sturdy.
