holiday skirts...

yesterday i decided to do a week of holiday party attire...with today's focus on skirts...these are all currently in the fabulous finds consignment boutique...please do take a peak at all of our selections...but more then that...i am hoping to inspire you...and possibly remind you of items that you might already have in your closet...

when it comes to skirts during the holiday season...it is probably one of the easiest outfits to put together...all you need is a fun skirt...think texture...design...color...how about a velvet or leather, lace or brocade?  and with that...you can add a simple black tank top or turtleneck...(or crisp white blouse) whatever your preference...and some tights...and fabulous shoes or boots...and you are set!

if you see something you like below...just click on the link underneath the picture...and it will take you straight to that item...

spring/summer 2012 trend: pleats

so many beautiful trends for spring/summer 2012...i thought i would start listing some of them for you...and show ways in which they could be incorporated into your wardrobe...

pleats...think accordian...and they are everywhere! the most common is a 50's inspired pleated skirt...and while that is a great way to incorporate it into your wardrobe...some women will shy away from it...as the hip area is the one place they are not looking to bring attention to...

here is a nice example of one...where the pleats start below the hips...so...emphasis is off the hips...

a maxi dress is always a fun way to look put together...without really trying to hard...

but don't stop here...as you will find pleating in blouses...jackets...a clutch purse...shoes...all you need to decide is how little or how much pleating you want...

is this a trend you are thinking of trying?
