Festive Flirty Skirts!

   
     Holiday season is here and the parties are starting!  If you don't know what to wear, I have the perfect solution.  Skirts are a hot item this season, so find one you love and pair it with your favourite blouse, fitted sweater, printed tank, whatever!

     Faux leather can be worn many ways.  Choose a fitted pencil skirt for a sleek look or opt for a pleated mid length skirt for a fuller silhouette.  Add some texture by pairing your skirt with a fitted cable knit sweater.

Anthropologie Reveillon Lace Skirt.

 

     Lace is classic and makes a statement on it's own.  It is a delicate fabric so pair with a blouse or sweater in a lighter knit.  Choose a lace skirt with a scalloped hem for a polished look. 

H&M Deco Knit Skirt

     If you want your skirt (and you of course!) to be the centre of attention, choose a fun print like this art deco (think Great Gatsby) inspired mini.  Add a tailored blazer for an office party appropriate look!

     Don't be afraid to mix and match prints and textures as long as you maintain your proportions.  In other words, if the fabric and/or print is heavy, pair with a lighter weight fabric or solid colour item.

                                               H&M Metalic Wrap Skirt (above).

    

      Metalic silver prints are everywhere this year and come in all shapes and sizes.  A knee length pencil skirt is a classic, mature approach to this trend, whereas the mini tulip cut is trendy and youthful.

Zara Sheath Skirt with Zips

     Edgy can be pretty too!  Leather snake print and exposed zippers add some funky detail.  Keep this rocker chic look in check by minimizing accessories and pairing with a classic top or blouse.

                

Anthropologie Ponte Bell Skirt

     Finally, my top pick this season: a high waisted, a line skirt in a yummy berry tone.  This skirt can be worn many ways but I love it paired with this long sleeve, leather collar top.  Finish your look with a statement necklace and a great shoe for the perfect party outfit!
