orange striped skirt!

I LOVE this piece. I am so bummed it doesn't fit. Full disclosure, I really don't know which side is supposed to be the front. This is another item from Japan. note: this was bought in Japan, it's tagged as a large & pretty true to size. For reference, I am 5'4", 140 lbs, and typically wear a size 4-6 depending on the pants/skirt.
