Slitting Hairs

Let's spice up the workwear routine. Skirts can get dull; so mix up the expected and try something with a front slit. It's such a small change that creates a much different look that your norm.

The varied angles and stripes make for maximum camouflage. I love this skit.

Forever 21, Contemporary Front Slit Skirt, $19
This skirt is very modern. The front patch pockets are understated but casual. It also comes in a beautiful burnt yellow.

Loft, Slit Pencil Skirt, $59
And speaking of yellow. Check out this lemon!!

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Minkpink Striped Spilt Front Skirt, $45
I thought we would start and end with stripes, and this one is fantastic. Check out that asymmetrical slit.

The front slit for a skirt is an easy trend to try. Start with a standard black pencil and then brand out to some of these striped and brighter options above! Show some leg, just don't forget to shave above the knee now that's spring. You're welcome.

I love marl for winter. It's cozy, casual, and matches everything. Usually we see marl in a sweater, but today let's mix things up and find some marl sweater skirts (yes, skirts) that bring a whole new look to what we knew as marl.

You've got to love a great high waister option that hits the knee. It's under $40, people.

Gingham Style

Happy hump day lovebugs,
We are in the dog days of summer and you know what I associate with summer? Gingham. Warm (ok sweltering) weather, outdoor parties, it's just gingham weather. A preppy print that today we're looking at in a skirt. Quite feminine and perfect for hot weather.

Think simple with this skirt. A white tank. That's it. Simple. Crisp.

This skirt is summer. It is flowy, girly, and beautiful.

This beauty is 40% off right now. I love the length.

One word ladies, pockets.

Don't these skirts scream summer to you? I love them even into fall with a floral cardigan to mix prints with style.

Flounce Much?

What are your favorite words? Do you love potato, effervescent, what word in this lovely language speaks to you? One of my favorite words is flounce. It's flirty and fun. It describes a personality and today it describes a skirt hem.

A beautiful, shimmery blush satin makes this skirt absolutely perfect for work, drinks, and date night.

A lovely midi length that is...wait for it...machine washable.

You've been waiting for this sale. This wool skirt comes in four colors so you can mix and match with your favorite sweater, button down, or blazer.

Piperlime, Keepsake Take you there, $56

Split Down the Middle

What is it about the slightest details that transforms the entire look of a skirt? Texture, shape, movement, or as we will see today, the slit. What we think of when we think of a pencil skirt is a back slit. Turn it around and you have a completely different look. Something powerful, corporate, and sexy. I give you the front slit skirt.

Here we have a stunning midi that has a slim cut and hugs in all of the right places.

Let's talk beige. This effortless and cool shade is oozing confidence.

Jones New York, Black Pencil Skirt with Front Slit, $64 $39
Simple, elegant, and work ready. This skirt is understated and yet show stopping.

Asymmetrical front slit. This skirt has structure and movement at the same time.

The front slit is such a simple switch but totally changes the silhouette of the outfit.

Lace Blues

You know what's hard about lace? You immediately think white or cream and it's not exactly white lace season any longer. That doesn't mean lace is out of the game. Oh no, I've got you covered. Black and blue lace. Stay with me. It's professional, feminine, and perfect for day to night.

What did I tell you? Scalloped hem to boot.

The high waisted style of this skirt makes the bow grown up.

Piperlime, Lace Pencil Skirt, $89
Hits right at the knee for a perfect work skirt. I'd pair it with a teal blouse and a bright sandal.

Ann Taylor, Tall Lace Pencil Skirt, $84
I think my favorite detail might be the grosgrain ribbon waistband. 

Lace isn't just for summer and these navy and black options are perfect for fall.
