Shortly after checking in at our hotel, my sister and I ventured out to see what we could discover in Oslo. Conveniently our hotel was located near a main street with several restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. One of the stores was Lindex, a brand we were not familiar with. While Lindex is nothing special, just another H&M kind of store, my sister and I were both able to find items that fit us, something that is quite difficult for us in Vancouver. My sister found a jacket, and I found a skirt.
A black skirt caught my eye, and even though I was on an amazing trip of a lifetime, I decided to see if I could find a skirt for work. Yes, I was on vacation, and was shopping for work clothes. Why? Because it's difficult to find clothes that fit me properly in Vancouver (I am incredibly picky and clothes must fit me just so), and my workplace is one of those places that only allows jeans on Fridays, and finding non-jean pants that fit well and look good is impossible, so I need a good selection of dresses and skirts.
I tried on a few skirts and I found one that I love. It's a tight black skirt that is long enough to be office appropriate, but it has zippers along the side that make it suitable for a night out. Work appropriate yet sexy, the perfect combination for me. And it makes my ass look fabulous.
As a bonus, the price was reasonable at 300 NOK (some people may think this is expensive, but I'm from Vancouver and this is on par with similar products), but it was 50% off, so it was only 150 NOK (about $25). Perfect fit, office appropriate, sexy, and cheap. I've finally found my little black skirt. read more
