I have this love/hate relationship with skirts solely because unlike dresses that you can just slide on in one fell swoop, they can be a little more complicated to pair up with the right top and create a well-proportioned, balanced ensemble in a hurry. Especially when they are those random prints and patterns that don’t visually combine well with the said tops or sweaters that I seem to possess. So, although I find creating chic outfit styles with print skirts more of an art form and a challenge as they test your ingenuity to put together a cohesive style combination, I’ve not given up on acquiring them. It’s a challenge that stimulates my creativity on the days I’m feeling inspired and forces me to push the boundaries of pattern mixing much like in decorating a room.
At the same time, I do have the days that I’m not feeling so inspired/motivated to create those ideal unique combinations that I’d like. It’s those dreadful mornings that I find myself standing in front of the closet racking my brain trying to figure out ‘what can I put this skirt with today?’ that inevitably ends up with a pile of different tops and skirts strewn all over the bed. Now my perfectionist nature just can’t let me leave all of that behind to clean up later. Nope. I have to put everything back now before I walk out the door no matter how late I’m running.
In an attempt to alleviate this time drain, I decided this year to go back to the time of my corporate days by reintroducing a couple of solid-colored skirts in my closet that will make getting dressed a lot easier and quicker too, for those uninspired mornings. Additionally, it’s always good to have a well-rounded closet with timeless classic style skirts for any and every possible occasion that may arise. Right now with all the sales currently going on, it’s the perfect opportunity to shop a few fun picks that’s been on the wishlist. Without further ado, here are my top 12 favorite styles (at the moment) with a touch of shimmering glam (of course) that I’m particularly loving from ASOS‘s big sale this week.
1. Floral Jacquard Pencil Skirt
