Zipper Back Knit Skirt ($7.50)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: I picked up this skirt after seeing the simple knit skirt. I though for sure I’d like it better since an exposed zipper makes everything look cooler. From the front, everything was fine. Then I turned around and it looked like I was one of those cats [...]
Simple Knit Skirt ($7.80)
Rating: Wear it Forever
Fit: With control-top tights or a pair of Spanx underneath, this skirt fits like a flattering glove. If you have thinner legs, you might want to try the shorter version (I couldn’t find it online but I bought it at my local store). If your body is pretty proportional, [...]
Zip Front Leopard Skirt ($29.00)
Rating: Trendy For Now
Fit: I surprisingly loved this skirt. It doesn’t seem too much like my sort of thing, but I kinda wanted to buy it after trying it on–the colors and leopard print (something I usually HATE) are just so captivating. The only weird thing about it is F21’s insistence [...]
Bubble Hem Satin Skirt ($19.80)
Rating: Buy It Never

Rose Party Skirt w/ Sash ($19.80)

Versatility: Check out how I styled a similar skirt three totally different [...]
1. Aqua cardigan, Forever 21 necklace, Charles Jourdan pumps
2. Hard Tail tank, vintage pearls, Manolo Blahnik gladiators
3. LnA tee, Milly necklace worn as a belt, Aldo cuff, Forever 21 shoes
(My skirt is from spring, but this one is super similar—just please remove the sash before wearing!)

Pleated Polka Dot Skirt ($14.80)
Rating: Buy It For Now
Quality: It’s just a cute, basic polka dot skirt. Doesn’t look cheap, doesn’t look expensive. But at $14.80, it’s probably the perfect high quality: low price ratio.
Versatility: I actually bought this one. It has become part of my weekend wardrobe. Perfect for the beach or backyard BBQs [...]
Exposed Zip Front Coloblocked Skirt ($24)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: At first glance, this skirt looks just the trendy bandage skirts on celebrities. But the minute you put it on, you can see all the puckering at the seams.
Versatility: You could wear the belt with jeans then cut off the zipper to make a [...]
Side Pocket Skirt ($28)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: Put it this way, this skirt could make Victoria Beckham look like she had massive child-bearing hips.
Versatility: It’s perfect for hiding an eating disorder.
Trend Factor: Volume is in for fall. But the draped pockets make you look like you have saggy outer thighs.
Demographic: Nobody
