One of my favorite things:
I bought this skirt and it’s so cute in person.
(A gross aside: this is a great option if you don’t want to wear a short skirt, but don’t like the fullness and heaviness of a long skirt).

Can you help?
Have you ever seen these skirts styled before?
Here are some ideas I came up with.

- A white t-shirt with a big chunky colorful necklace
- White T-shirt with eyelet sleeves
- A hot pink short-sleeve sweater and hot pink sandals.
