Since the 70’s have become the decade of influence on fashion for fall 2015, I have been obsessed with owning a button down, suede a-line skirt. When I found this skirt on major sale, in one size too big, I snapped it up; despite the size issue.

Being one size too big did not seem like a big issue when I purchased the skirt. It sags a little bit around the waist, making me look a little pregnant in the photos above, but it looks smoother in real life. Suede is a little bit pricey to alter, and since I am in the process of losing ten pounds, I am going to wait before altering the skirt. I want to make sure I am at my goal weight before having the skirt made to fit me perfectly.

I love this skirt so much. The suede is soft, and the skirt is comfortable. I cannot wait to wear it with a cozy sweater in the winter, and warm boots. I love the vintage look of the skirt, and the fact that is it navy blue! Navy is one of my favorite colors to wear.

If you are looking for a navy, suede a-line skirt, with buttons down the front, there is a similar one by Theory on sale here and here.

I am also in love with this secretary style blouse. The polka dots are so much fun, and the tie is a throwback to the 1970’s. It reminds me of a modern version of the silhouette on the vintage blouse my Mom gave me, last worn here.

This blouse will be fun to wear on casual days this fall with boots, flare jeans, and my Mansur Gavriel drawstring bucket bag.

I feel like this suede a-line skirt is my hold grail piece of the season. What is the one piece, your “Holy Grail”, that you want this fall?

Ah, the 70’s trend! I am in love with this trend. One of the fabulous aspects of the 70s trend, is the a-line midi skirts; especial the suede skirts.

I love how a-line midi skirts look. The a-line silhouette is always flattering; and the midi skirt is modest enough to always be appropriate. Love that!

One of my favorite 70s style skirts is the suede skirt. This rich brown, suede skirt I am wearing has a front pleat, a-line silhouette, and soft suede fabrication. I am in love!

The rich brown hue, coupled with the vintage 70s silhouette, is making this one of my favorite skirts for the upcoming fall 2015 season! Although suede can be a warm fabrication, I did manage to wear this skirt for morning mass last weekend. Of course, once the fog burned off, I had to change.

Suede skirts instantly transport me back to the 1970s. I was a little girl, so my memory is fuzzy, but I do remember my Mom’s clothing. This could be due to the fact that I thought her closet was my dress-up playground; much to her chagrin.

I remember my Mom wearing a brown suede skirt with buttons running down the front in the late 1970s. She wore it with her silk, patchwork blouse, as well as other silk blouses. She has always loved silk blouses, and can be found wearing them often to this day.

I always thought this suede skirt of hers was so soft and luxurious. I thought she looked beautiful in it! As a result, I have been waiting for midi suede skirts to come back in fashion so that I too, can wear a midi brown suede skirt!

Does the current 70s trend conger up any childhood memories for you too?

Button front skirts are a huge trend this fall 2015 season. The button front skirt has been spotted everywhere for the upcoming autumn season; from the runways to the streets, it is the IT skirt of the season.

Whether you prefer mini skirts, midi skirts, or maxi skirt, there is a button front skirt this season for you. The button front skirt is being shown in all three lengths; with suede and denim as the most popular fabrications.

Button front skirts are a fabulous fall trend. They are casual in nature, making them a fabulous alternative to jeans or cords. Love that!

With the 1970’s trend in full swing for fall, button front skirts are taking center stage as the ultimate skirt to own. The button front skirt was a huge trend in the 1970’s, making it fit perfectly into the season.

Button front skirts can be worn with sandals, thick heeled sandals or pumps, booties, and knee boots. They can also be paired with body conscious sweaters or knits, ponchos, secretary blouses, tees, and casual blouses. These combinations make button front skirts perfect for both weekends and casual office environments. Love it!

I absolutely adore the button front skirt trend. I remember my Mom wearing a brown suede, button front skirt when I was a small child. I always liked how it looked on her, but the trend never returned after the late 1970’s. Now that it is finally back, I cannot wait to wear it!

This fall season I have already picked up a navy suede, button front midi skirt (similar here) and this beige suede, button front skirt. I also have my eyes on this denim, button front skirt. Now, I need to find a fabulous pair of boots to wear with them!
