Please suggest some casual work skirts and dresses
Question: Dear Fashion Feline, I have a new job in casual office environment starting next week. I was thinking I might wear skirts, just above the knee or so in length--not too short, in other words, but not long. I figure a casual skirt is better than jeans. :) I've gotten out of the habit of wearing skirts except for when I go out, so in my head it's become complicated, thinking about what tops to wear with them. I also really don't want to spend much. Any suggestions would be welcome. --Christina
Answer:
Dear Christina,
Skirts can be a tricky lot—there's a fine line between marmy and cute or too short.
A patterned skirt like the one below can be useful because you can wear it with any solid top.
I also like semi-athletic skirts that are made of sturdy fabrics that hold their shape well. I think the Kuhl Lavanda skirt from R.E.I. (also available elsewhere--best price at R.E.I.) would take you from summer to fall and would look sharp with a lot of things and would be fine for a casual office.
But you may want to think about dresses because they simplify things a bit: you don't have to match a top. The dress in the middle looks dressy on the model, but you can see that it's actually pretty casual and only $29.99, less expenisve than buying a skirt and a top. Tinley Road, carried by Piperlime, offers several cute, casual dresses.
Hope this helps! Good luck at your new job! Too bad you have to work and can't just chase moths, sleep, and think about fashion all day like I do :-).--FF >^.^<
