EATME 2-way peplum skirt and single belt sabo shoes

I was really excited to start ordering items from EATME's spring releases! I wasn't ready to preorder at the beginning of the year, but having had a chance to think about it for a couple months, I solidly knew what I wanted to order when they were finally stocked. Thanks goodness for online shopping in a time like this. (And thank you to all the employees who have to work to get these online orders shipped.)

I love that EATME is still featuring check prints this spring and I really loved the look of this peplum skirt - even better that the belt is completely removable and the remaining skirt is still really suitable on its own. This was a big must-buy for me this spring.

I love the skirt more in person than I did in the photos. I purchased this skirt in size S and the fit is just about perfect. I do actually like it without the peplum more than I anticipated (even though I always thought it was a huge advantage to have that flexibility). The only thing is that the material is thinner than I had anticipated and really has no stretch which isn't good for bending but I just have to be a little more careful. It is fully lined and well made - just the material isn't what I was expecting. I also think the peplum belt could use one more belt loop, but other than that, no complaints! I can't wait to wear this to work when we return to the office.

When I first saw the spring previews at the beginning of the year, I knew I wanted to get these shoes, even if at full price. This was the chunky black shoe I was looking for that, of course, would complete all of my "edgier" EATME outfits in a less posh way than regular black pumps. EATME does do a similar shoe every year or so, but this was my first opportunity when I was willing to spend the money and I jumped on it.

I was concerned about sizing since I've never purchased or tried on shoes from EATME before, but after looking at the sizing chart, I decided to go with my typical Japanese size L. They are slightly big (which wasn't unexpected) and the back strap isn't adjustable, but I believe they'll be okay. I do think the M might have been a little tight in the covered foot part and might have produced blisters on the top of my foot, so I believe I made the right choice.
All of the worn photos of the 2-way peplum skirt also include these sabo shoes (see above), but I'll definitely be wearing them when I eventually go back into the office and can't wait to experiment with a few more combinations.

Short post and update during this self-isolation period. I'm very lucky that both my employer and my husband's employer are allowing us to work from home during this time and our income hasn't been impaired for the most part. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who have been negatively impacted by this pandemic is some way, whether it's employment, travel, health or income for yourself or family members. Please stay safe.
