A Jil Sander runway look. Colors can pop because of the simple design and perfect cuts. This will suit any body type. Food for thought: What a comfortable travel outfit! Perfect for anywhere!

Or you can pick a black that has a little more of a design element to it with an interesting cut/bunching. This would also actually be a relatively easy DIY project if you wanted to alter with a needle and thread.

The more fabric the more edgy it seems,which might seem a bit counter intuitive for some. This is a piece that you will be able to dress up for a ball ("Because every pretty girl deserves to go to a ball." -Yes Man Quote) Or you can keep it simple. This piece has a very international feel to me, and is a great design to accentuate a skinny torso too as the bulk of your ensemble will be at the bottom.

Dress it up, dress it down, dress it funky and spunky and pretty and nice!

Maybe items more tailored pull at your fashion heart strings. Worry not my fine friend. This is a piece than can provide diversity, but I would like to most dress it up with a little fitted polo shirt, some kick-ass stilettos and some red lipstick for a very simple, vintage look. As this is a pencil skirt that falls a little longer than most, giving you the possibility to rock the vintage flair we all know and love so well!

Always a good idea to keep something fitted up top and then match the flow of the skirt with some chunky accessories. That can be a chunky bag, some chunky bangles or you can wear an over sized bun on your head by adding some extensions paired with some chunky black winged eye liner, chunky clogs, over sized earrings.Surprise us! I double-dog-dear you! HE HE HE!

This piece isn't floor kissing, but is a piece that I couldn't resist as it is a cool piece to add to maybe a work wardrobe! Fun! Fun! (Note of warning: Maybe stay away from shinny fabrics like in the picture with this cut, as it might make items look larger than they actually are).

Absolutely love these cuts! Playful and serious seemingly at the same time!

Bohemian Chic. Comfy, cozy and fun all at the same time! YAY for Skirts, the new baggy pant!
