Celine - Spring 2012 RTW |
Skirts are playful and comfortable, especially the pleated and bohemian skirts featured during this season, which represented a needed change from the sharp cut, classic silhouette pencil skirts that we saw a lot in the winter. Both are amazing, but remember when the weather starts getting warmer the tighter the skirt the more uncomfortable you become.
Let’s start off with a classic showcase before I creep into the sexy choices. My first highlight is from Anthropologie. It is a simple black pleated skirt with a lot of character, which the zig-zag design on the bottom half of the skirt reveals. This is a great skirt to put on for the office environment without cutting off your circulation. Red lipstick and a set of pearls will really make this skirt a good choice.

Moving away from black for a moment, I highly recommend this spicy Anthropologie short skirt. This reddish-orange belted Fresna skirt is a long, sassy skirt that is a perfect match for the tall, slender gals. If you are short and curvy I would definitely pass on this number. The color and gold accents really make this skirt pop!

Next up, I recommend that everyone check out this yellow/ lime green pleated skirt. This color goes well with any of the bold accessories that are coming up in the fashion world. This skirt has a very pleated and sophisticated look, but I wouldn’t go bold when choosing a top. Instead, I will pair it with funky and bolds accessories.

Lastly, I am considering taking Salsa lessons after seeing all the hot bodies on Dancing With the Stars. So, what better way to get in the mood by buying an appropriate skirt? I adore this Marc Jacobs flowy, pleated skirt. It looks fun and perfect for a night of getting swung around.
