Flirt with a Skirt

These past few weeks are reminding us why we love Southern California, for the sun!  With winter far in the past, it is time to bare those legs and take in some serious rays.  What else will flirt with that hot soccer player in class without saying a single word? A skirt is the trendiest way to keep cute during this transition between spring and summer.  But with so many different styles, patterns and lengths to choose from, how do you know which skirt is right for you?

Lets talk color.  A bright colored skirt is key if you haven’t achieved that summer glow yet, but still want to rock a mini.  Mustard yellow is a great color to shop for because it contrasts nicely against any skin tone.  Forever 21 has a great selection of bright colored skirts that make all those Easter eggs painted with envy.

A great way to look cute without the hint of trying is the classic jean skirt that has an edge to it.  Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch are well known for their beachy-frayed skirts, but why not switch it up with a skirt from Pink by Victoria’s Secret that has decorative patches?  When shopping for a jean skirt, don’t rest for one that is basic, but find one that has unique stitching or intricate detailing, this will set you apart from the rest.

We have all been in a situation where we are unsure if we should be dressy or casual to an event.  A great solution to fill both cups is to pair a t-shirt with a skirt.  The skirt will make your outfit dressy, but then a t-shirt will balance that outfit so you can feel comfortable in what you are wearing.  This is also an easy way to get away with wearing flat shoes with a skirt without feeling like your feet ruined the outfit.

A great pattern on a skirt will do just the trick to making a bold fashion statement.  Forever 21 has patterned skirts that will even catch the eye of a blind man.  But beware when shopping for a patterned skirt.  Because these skirts are already busy, pair it with a plain colored top or a shirt that doesn’t have a whole lot going on.  Once you have the perfect mix and match, you are set to sport that skirt proudly.

And of course we cannot forget that classy pencil skirt.  There is no better way to stand out amongst your pant-wearing co-workers than by wearing a silky pencil skirt.  This skirt shows that your personal style does not stay at home when its time to get professional, but instead it follows you to work.  However, with such a fashion piece comes a caution, constant stares are part of the deal.
