From the Archives: Fabulous Fashion Friday, April 29: Flirty Skirty

Let's take Spring by storm with bright colors and skirts that flirt.  We love love love the new geoprints and grandma's apron prints on short skirts paired with colorful cardigans to shrug off that gentle April chill. I love to pair these skirt ensembles with ankle socks and oxfords for a sassy-almost-bratty school girl appeal. Makes running away from boys easy...and believe me, in this coquetteish outfit you will be chased!

Look #1 Geoprint Skirt Ensemble: Bubble skirt, white burnout tee, mint cotton cardi, tan Bronx lace-up oxfords and navy blue Marc Jacobs' inspired quilted handbag...total look $$185 (waist-length pendant necklace, $65, on-loan from Ponytail).



Blues, greens, navy, white and a tinge of red set a cool palette that feels like a fresh spring breeze.


Look #2: Grandma's apron print skirt with cotton custard cardi, Nicole ankle cowboy boots, teal socks, plaid shades, and to-die-for geometric chain necklace, by Frankie Says designs. This entire look is available at Kick It for about $212.00.

Wearing flat, man-ish ankle boots counters the sexy mini skirt with a powerful kick.

Use teal accessories to complement butter yellows.
