I’m really excited to have a guest blogger this week. Excited because I am completely spent after writing fast and furious for the last several days to meet a freelance deadline, and excited because Aly Brooks from the blog A Little Great is here all week to talk fashion! You know how I love the fashion. I’ll make an appearance every day, but stay tuned for great fashion advice this week.
What to Wear this Spring – Printed Skirts
Spring is nearly upon us. Welcome daffodils, kite flying, apple blossoms… and most of all, fun new fashion options. What could make you feel cuter than a flirty skirt on a sweet Spring day? I love that just-above-the-knee swingy feeling. This season is all about printed skirts. They come in all shapes, sizes, and price points. Here are some I crave:
Tailored and sophisticated, these slimmer cut skirts are light and airy with a classic silhouette. Of course, you can’t go wrong with Kate Spade (A. kate spade ‘garden party – kayla’ skirt $295 at Nordstrom) but you don’t want to have to get a second on your house to support your Spring fashion fix. Instead, opt for the same look for so much less. Try this adorable (B.) Still Life Skirt for only $29.99 from DownEast Basics. I love DownEast’s prints (lots of options) and cuts (flattering) and at these prices, you can afford to follow the trends.
Layered ruffles are in for Spring. I love both these options for their wear-ability. I can see myself donning either to breakfast with my girlfriends or throwing them on over my suit on the way to the pool. Picture these with some darling sandals or wedges (my post on Spring shoes coming soon). Here again are two options, same look, not so similar prices, take your pick! C. Garden Glam Skirt $29.99 by DownEast Basics D. Leifsdottir ‘Ashiri Flower’ Cotton & Silk Skirt $198 at Nordstrom

I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
I think I like the DownEast skirts better. So cute, thanks for the heads up.
Yes, I do love the prices of the Down East skirts better.. They are all so cute though.
I need a tan, and then I will be sporting cute skirts.
Cute selection of floral skirts! I really like the orange, lilac and green color combo of the Down East Basics Still Life skirt…
I like Boden's skirts (UK). Super Cute. What about the ruffles though? It seems ruffles would only look good on a certain body type (i.e. not mine long legs and flat tummy).
meaning I don't have long legs and flat tummy…I have a body similar to the children's song – I'm a little teapot short & stout – so what skirts should I wear that are flattering?
