Simple wardrobe essentials can sometimes be the trickiest to track down. While honeymooning in the Seychelles with my husband we met the most adorable French couple on one of the islands. They were gorgeous, young and had three tanned toe-head children that made your heart melt. Naturally the mom was as chic as a Parisian could be. Everyday I’d try not to stare at her cool, relaxed style that always involved either a white tee with rolled up sleeves or a gathered black skirt that hit mid-thigh. I immediately returned home coveting both. Little did I know, short and simple black gathered skirts are actually hard to come by.

Three months later I finally found one on HauteLook. If you’re unfamiliar with this shopping hotspot it’s a free members-only online shopping site that hosts limited inventory sale events.
