J.Crew: Jenna's Picks - Dulce Sequin Skirt
Jenna's next (and most expensive) pick is the Dulce Sequin Skirt (item #13323), which is currently sold out, but retailed for an incredible $450. Interestingly enough, this was J.Crew's original "Jenna's Pick", but shortly after the newest batch of picks was released, J.Crew changed the pick to the Slub Cotton Ripple-Ruffle Short-Sleeve Tee (item #13620), which I'll talk about in another post.
J.Crew describes the Dulce Sequin Skirt as such:
A very limited-edition silk organza skirt (only a handful were made). A stunner in a luscious shade of burnt caramel. Sequined entirely by hand, it has our favorite new detail of the moment: a contrasting black elastic waistband. Classic pencil-skirt shape. Sits at waist. Side zip. Fully lined. 23 1/2" long. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Available in select stores.The skirt is a little too shiny for me, and between this skirt and the infamous zebra tee, I might be a little sequin-ed out.
I'm not crazy about elastic waistbands, especially on pencil skirts and for especially not for $450, and even if they are in "contrasting black". Other than that, I think it is a fairly regular, very sequiny pencil skirt. At 23.5 inches, it's a bit longer than J.Crew's other pencil skirts they have produced this season.For me, I just wouldn't have enough occasions to wear this, and even the occasions I can think of, I think I might be a tad overdressed. The combination of that and the price makes this a definite pass for me.
What do you think? Were you able to get a Dulce Sequin Skirt? Would you get this skirt if you could? What do you think of elastic waistbands and sequins?

wondering how many of these sequin skirts they made because they already sold out even though it's 450. like 5? anyway, i love the looks of the photo of this online skirt. if they have any left, maybe they will go on sale.
ps - i have nowhere to wear this to, but i would buy it if it was half the price - it looks like a beauty!
I just got this on the website. I think they had one in a Size 2 because immediately after I purchased, it said Sold Out again. I think an elastic waistband is a good idea. It still zips up like any normal pencil skirt. It's like ballet elastic. I will probably wear this with a slouchy slubbed white tee from Anthropologie and some gold platforms.
@Anon 1 - That is a good question. some of their "collection" pieces seem to hang around for awhile, but others seem to sell out really quickly, and they are oftentimes the really expensive ones! I would not know where to wear this either, but if it were a lot cheaper, I would think about it as a special piece! :)
@Anon 2 - Wow, that's great! Good thing you were able to get it! :) Let us know how it is once you get it - your outfit sounds really cute!
