Skirt Alert

It's no secret that I love skirts. Putting on a good skirt can turn an "eh" sort of day into a "YAY!" day. And besides, what feels more girlie and classy than a great skirt in a great color? Yep. Nothing.

I bought this skirt from BCBG in early March to wear at the after-party of the annual Poms Fashion Show at my school. Needless to say, it's become a huge part of my wardrobe. The thing I love most about this skirt is its versatility. I wear this skirt with everything, from oxford shirts to long-sleeved striped tissue tees from J.Crew. I even wore it to a leadership conference Monday and wore the t-shirt they gave us! The other best part of this skirt is that it doesn't move, like many other stretchy bandage-type skirts. I'm not sure how it works, but once this skirt is on, it doesn't move. At all. I love not having to worry about tugging my skirt down or pulling it back up to where I want it.

I saw a mini similar to this one a few weeks ago on F.E. Castleberry's (incredible) blog, Unabashedly Prep. The post featured Carly Heitlinger, of my very favorite College Prep.

After seeing this picture, I made it my mission to find a skirt that delivered a similar fit and a perfect pop of color like the one in the picture. I think I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself.

From Lulu's, this one is fun and trendy, and–as is always important with a super trendy item–easy on my wallet.

I've always been a firm believer in the sentiment that every girl should have a closet stocked with good pencil skirts. J.Crew's pencil skirts totally fulfill this need. They come in a variety of solids, prints, and textures to suit any mood and are the perfect length for just about everything. Basic black is a must, of course, and then collect the colors and textures that pique your interest, like this gorgeous bright blue.

Polka dots are so fun! That's why I love this skirt from ShopBop.

Words really don't describe how much I love this skirt from Anthropologie. The print is just gorgeous and the ombre effect is just irresistible. How I haven't been shopping at Anthropologie is just crazy, but that's another post altogether.
