Yes. This is my second Magic 16 motif. It’s so playful. And I love the color combos in the Magic. I wear a lot of grays, blues, and blacks. I’ll wear this with my Lotus earrings or my diamond studs.

Happy birthday and 35th anniversary! Wear all of them in the best health and happiness :biggrin:

@BigAkoya, my DH is also somewhat of a purist. But, I recently persuaded him to wear more comfy things. . . elastic waistbands cannot be too far behind lol

The elastic waist is the reason why I jumped to buy it. As a not young anymore woman, my waist isn’t what it used to be, and I’ll leave it at that. I will only wear skirts with elastic waists. Thanks for the tip on the Dior logo on the side too.

ETA, I also ordered a The Row, cream silk crew neck sweater. Yesterday, I got cream colored Jimmy Choo loafers. I am going to wear it with a denim jacket.

Last weekend, I did get the Magic 16 motif in WG/Chalcedony, so I think it will work well.

I need to take more pics of it, but I can’t wear it out until my birthday/35th anniversary later this month.

Thanks so much for the compliment! It’s one of my favorite skirts bc 1. It’s techno fabric so doesnt wrinkle much and seems impervious to rain etc; and, it’s elastic waisted. I have a large waist relative to my size, and I personally believe the small waist of dior sizes is exclusionary and somewhat anti feminist. JMO. I hope it works for you, and I hope you post action pics with your amazing jewelry. I was told dior does very few elastic bands bc MGC thinks it looks cheap. :rolleyes:Hugs

ETA: I found the Christian Dior label down the entire side too obnoxious, so I had my tailor take out some fabric to render it illegible (I wanted there to be a little writing left visible , since it’s a design element for better or worse. Of course keeping the pockets. But that’s just me. Tailor did the same to a white reverse TDJ hoodie dress.

I did the exact same thing to my two techno fabric Dior skirts! I have the same palm skirt and a reverse TDJ skirt. My amazing tailor removed the side logo strips, and I find the two pieces so much easier to wear.
