A Line Skirt

“My next failure is just my next lesson leading to my success!”

Wearing an A line skirt is something that pretty much any body type can pull off.  There are so many varied styles, but the one thing they all have in common is that they will hide bulges, the accentuate your waist and they are very feminine.

The skirt I am wearing today is one that is a little more fitted than most, so if you are going to wear one like this, you need to  make sure that it is not too tight, or that you are not planning on eating a huge meal because it will make your stomach stick out and that won’t be flattering at all!

The A line skirt works really well with a variety of different styles of shoes – including pumps, high sandals, and for the upcoming colder weather, they look fabulous with some feminine booties or long boots.

You can completely change the style of the skirt by adding different shoes and different tops or jackets.  For example, you are going to look more hip or modern if you wear a cropped jacket, but you could also add a longer jacket and belt it at the waist, wear a loose fitting sweater (but if you do this, make sure it is not too long and you are not hiding your waist).

Some things to beware of are:

• Picking the right length for your height – if the skirt is too long it is not going to have the desired effect.
• Another thing to consider is that style of top you wear – I mentioned a few ideas above, but the most important thing to remember here is that you don’t want to wear anything that is going to make you look frumpy, and the wrong top that covers your waist will certainly do that.
• Consider carefully the shoes you are wearing with your chosen outfit – they are ultimately going to define how feminine and classy your outfit looks.  You don’t want to have a great polished look and then add a pair of clumpy booties because they would totally ruin the whole look.

For my outfit I paired it with a cute ruffled, form fitting top, along with some great pumps that finish off the classy look I was going for.
