Okay, so this River Island skirt is DREAMY.

I chanced upon it on this morning having a very brief look at the new arrivals section on the website and seriously, there are major Realisation Par vibes going on here. If you're a fashion fan, you've probably heard of the Instagram favourite brand which includes gorgeous prints and patterns in beautiful, flowing fabrics. The leopard-print skirt, see below, has been a major hit with style mavens world over but it's literally impossible to get your hands on at the moment and it's not cheap either. Thankfully, we have found a similar dupe and it's not half bad at the grand price of €47. It's the Black Leopard Print Satin Midi Skirt and oh my God, how gorgeous is it? It looks like it would be so flattering to wear, note that kick flare hem, midi-length and that satin twill fabric is so comfortable to wear too. We love how it's been paired here with a slogan t-shirt but you could totally dress it up with barely-there sandals and a silky cami or an oversized shirt tucked in. It would work well for day too worn with a cosy knit and what we love most about this piece is the fact that there are lots of different ways to wear it. Easy to style, flattering, comfortable and ticking the biggest trend of autumn winter, leopard-print. Time for some Friday shopping...
