Tiny Dancer

Let's have some fun on a Friday eve. Show some leg. It's mini skirt tine. Not just any mini skirt, a printed mini that has some personality.

Macy's, Maison Jules Houndstooth Mini Skirt, $22

You can't beat this price, and look at the pipe detailing!

Topshop, Tie Mini Skirt, $60

How much FUN is this skirt?! I love the stripe, ruffle, tie, everything!

Lord & Taylor, Vero Moda Floral Embroidered Mini Skirt, $49

How stunning is this embroidery? The colors, the pattern, beautiful.

Macy's, Rachel Roy Floral Print Mini Skirt, $89 $52

Major sale and great print. I love this with a denim jacket or a blazer.

Remember to know your length when wearing a mini skirt. Do the sit test in the dressing room. Sure a daring hemline is great, a full moon, not so much.

He Was a Punk, She Did Ballet

A fun and flippy skirt is great for spring. I love the skater style because it's cute and with the right texture and print its a lot of fun. While we love to have fun with skirts here, let's remember that the skater style can be a little cheeky and I don't mean in the British sassy way, I mean I can see your cheeks. No one needs to see that. So when trying these on remember to do the fingertip test and do a twirl in the dressing room, are you going to have a unplanned breeze that gives the world a show?

Ok enough warnings, let's have some fun.

Forever 21, Floral Skirt, $17

A punchy floral for spring, as Meryl would say, groundbreaking,  but with these box pleats and flats. You can't go wrong.

Shoptiques, Honeypunch Printed Skater Skirt, $69 $39

I really like this icy blue metallic print for spring. Very Frozen but unexpected.

Charlotte Russe, Pleated Scuba Skater Skirt, $22

A heavier fabric is great for a mini, it hangs with some dignity. 

Asos, Free People So Much Sun Skirt, $134 $68

This skirt is a steal! I love the flap side pockets for extra personality.

Grab a sassy mini for spring and dress it up with cut out booties then dress it down with sneakers. So versatile and so affordable.

Mini Party

Warm weather calls for shorter skirts. Outdoor parties, late night cocktails and general happiness. Today we're going to look at some mini skirts that scream party. They are chic, bouncy and all under $75. Oh and did I mention they're striped? Let's have some fun.

Piperlime, Pim + Larkin Striped Pleated Skirt, $34

This skirt will get you all of the compliments. It stands out without screaming and you can pair it with just about anything.

Milly, Pleated Skirt, $74

These harsher pleats give this mini some great structure. 

Romwe, Green White Striped Elastic Pleated Skirt, $20

I love this skirt. It's a bit tennis inspired and the elastic waist is pure comfort.

Asos, Stripe A-Line Skrit in Scuba, $60

High waisted and some bold contrasting. This mini is a standout.

A party mini skirt is a fun piece that is absolutely worth adding to your closet. These striped options offer some sassy pattern and color.

That's One Sassy Oxymoron

Happy almost Friday lovebugs,

Today we're looking at what is a bit of an oxymoron: the full mini. A great full skirt is always in style, but this is a mini version! Mega volume with not a lot of length.

Kohl's, Jennifer Lopez Snakeskin Mini, $30

A great textured mini that has some good structure to it. This would go great with booties.

Urban Outfitters, Coincidence & Chance Knit Circle Skirt, $49

You want a leg lengthener? Get this skirt. A perfect flouncy piece that is easy, breezy and sexy.

American Apparel, Illustrated Chiffon Double Lay Shirred Skirt, $42

So this skirt could use a better name but who doesn't love an elastic waistband. I mean, deep down, it's all about the elastic waist band.

Nordstrom, Free People faux leather skirt, $79

Down from $150, this skirt is fabulous. Add some lace on top and you are a show stopper.

The full mini may not always be appropriate for the office (use your own judgement, or the looks of others) but maybe adding some tights to the ensemble make it just right for date night.

A Teeny Bit 'o Print

Hey lovebugs,
Mini skirts are so much fun for summertime (please note NOT for work). What I'm really loving is a little bit of pattern. And I'm not just talking a stripe here or a polka dot there, I'm talking graphic prints.

Forever 21, Retro Print Skirt, $12

While I despise these shoes, I love this mini. The print is so fluid and the buttons add some definition.

Modcloth, Garden Plot Twist Skirt, $42

The colors in the skirt just leap out at you. I would pair this with a white tie blouse.

Macy's, Tommy Hilfiger Millennium Promise Skirt, $62

Besides the great chevron going on here...100% of proceeds from this collection are committed to the development of sustainable communities.

Nordstrom Rack, Mimi Chica Hem Skirt, $28

A little high low action on this adorable skirt. I might add a skinny neon belt to this one.

A printed mini is a great way to add some interest to your outfit. And don't pair it with a white top! Try to find a color in the skirt or a contrasting neon to pair.

Mini skirt- long legs

Hey there lovebugs,
It was a long weekend for me and the Bf.  We got a new couch at Ikea (still attempting to build the thing) I purged my closet and will be donating all of it this week, and I did the taxes. Lots of of adult things, which makes me inspired to do something not so adult.

Mini skirt.  That's right.  Sometimes you just feel like long legs and a short skirt.  I'm feeling one right about now; but for me mini skirts don't have to be skin tight, in fact, I prefer more of an A-line effect on my short skirt because it created more of a flirty image rather than a hooker image.

Let me explain

J Crew Factory, Watercolor Potpourri Mini, $44.50

I just love the great structure of this skirt.  It sits lower on the waist so it give you a nice long torso.

Gap, Paintbrush stripe skirt, $37

Love this print, the heels, all of it!  

Modcloth, Striking gold skirt, $45

This skirt is perfect for Friday night.  I'm loving it with black sheer dot tights.

LuLu's, Grey pleated mini skirt, $41

I love the pleating on this skirt.  It is dangerously work appropriate.

Old Navy, Ruffle tiered chambray skirt, $19.50

It may not be time yet for chambray but how cute are these ruffles?!

Wearing a mini requires a little more attention then your normal slacks or jeans.  Look for a fitted waist band and follow the Catholic School rule of the hem touching your fingertips.  Have fun with it.  Get some heels and twirl!

Glee Fashion--Emergency Post

Ok, so I could on forever about Glee fashion, especially Emma's...(J Crew and Kate Spade heaven) but I must post on Gwyneth Paltrow's tweed skirt on tonight's episode. LOVE!


While her skirt was probably $482 here are some of my picks for the sassiest tweed minis out there!

Banana Republic, Tall jen tweed skirt, $64

High waisted dream

BCBG, layered cargo tweed skirt, $98

How is this skirt feminine with cargo pockets? Gorgeous.

Limited, piped waistline mini, $59

Sweet and pockets makes this the perfect work skirt.

Banana Republic, Knife Pleat Skirt, $35

Perfect for a silk blouse and a vest. Secretary in the best way possible.
