Skirts to Suit all Occasions

As women we have the advantage of having a range of clothing for our bottom halves to choose from. Trousers, skirts, shorts and dresses mean we should never get bored. Especially if you look at the range in just one category; for example let’s look at skirts.

Skirts come in so many different styles I have lost count. At www.kandco.com their skirt range is so vast, you will be hard pressed not to find exactly what you are looking for. The best way is to fit the skirt you want to the occasion you want to wear it on.

Floaty loose fitting skirts are ideal for casual wear. As the months warm up and you are considering hot holidays you will want a skirt that will let you breathe. Floaty skirts can come above the knee, below the knee and even right to the floor. So if you have no desire to have your legs out but still want to stay cool then the typical maxi skirt is just what you need.

However, floaty skirts may not be best for your place of work, especially if you work in an office. In these environments you tend to need to ‘power’ dress. This derives from men wearing tailored suits, so women have to wear tailored skirts. Pencil skirts are your perfect option in this situation. They are stream-line and will make any figure look womanly and curvy. Pencil skirts also work well on a sophisticated night out or a meal with formal aspects about it.

However, the height of fashion for skirts at present are large patterned, bold skirts. Perfect for social occasions that are relaxed, or to take on your holidays. They add colour to your life and make you feel and look extremely feminine. No woman could ask for more.

But be aware that the large patterns can be overpowering, so try to avoid them if you are petite, or if you have a slight frame. You do not want to look like you have been eaten by a garden of massive flowers or whirled away by a spiralling death of circles.

So find the skirt that suits you best and then keep adding to your collection. No one can have too many skirts, that is a fact!

If your looking for the latest in skirt trends this season then why not visit K and Co and have a look. They have gorgeous skirts in various different styles so check it out!

I don’t know why but I’m really into cardigans at the moment. I thought these cardigans were just lovely and wanted to share with you all. I’m in love with these two below. The first is called the high seas cardigan and the second is a heart print both cardigans are from Forever21 and retail for $22.80. For all of my tall readers (5’8 and above) the heart print is actually long enough for us tall gals. I was pretty amazed. Happy Shopping!!

Now that I’m on spring break I can finally get back to business with writing about fashion. Here is a site I wanted to share with all of you called eShakti.com. This is a site that sells women’s clothing and accessories but the best part is they custom make each individual piece to fit your body type. However, the site will charge you $15.00 in addition to the cost of the item to custom shape your clothing. Below is a skirt that I have which retails for $39.95, it’s a cotton print graphic skirt in green and brown. The graphic print cotton is topped with wide banding at the smooth waist, while pleating adds to the full shape of the eye-catching style. The skirt has an exposed zipper in the back which is a big trend at the moment. I like to wear my skirt with a big belt since the skirt sits on my high waist. The items on eShakti are new and fresh and do not look like the clothing in your standard mall which is a good thing. All orders placed are shipped with three days of you placing the order. Also, if you like an item shorter, longer, no sleeves, more sleeves, and a different neckline all of that can be done for you when you place your order. Not bad if you ask me.

Isn’t this a cute dress… it’s from ASOS and is called the Antik Batik Sequin waits crepe mini dress and it retails for 226.00 pounds.

I just wanted to share this top from Forever21. I really love cats and this shirt is just to cute. I love the bubble sleeves and the hanging chains. Most importantly I love the cats. This uber cute shirt called she’s come undone retails for $17.80 and would look great paired with skinny jeans and a pair of black high heels.

Over the weekend was Forever 21′s grand opening event at a mall near my home and boy was it an event to see. The store is “massive” and everything you see online is in the store. Forever21 had a DJ spinning beats close to the entrance of the store and what seemed to be about 100 different employees in the store on Saturday afternoon. Every brand Forever21 carries such as Faith21, Heriatage1981 etc. is in this massive store. The only down side is that I would have to clear my whole morning/afternoon just to see everything in the store. Yet, the up side is that I don’t have to buy another item of clothing on line I can just go to the mall and not pay shipping and handling anymore.
