Although I adore pencil skirts and full skirts one of my all time favourite skirts to wear is by far the A-line.
Skirt – Anthropologie (on sale), Vest – Guess (similar in white), Hat – Handmade (DIY your own) (similar), Shoes – Nine West (these are adorable and on sale!)
3 Reasons To Love An A-Line Skirt
Comfort
There is room to move, but unlike a maxi or full skirt no excess fabric to catch on things as I breeze by.
Flattering Fit
It accents my waist and skims out from my hips creating an unmistakably feminine silhouette.

Bathroom Easy
If ever you should need to go to the bathroom quickly…this is the skirt to be wearing. I know it seems like a silly detail, but sometimes I am grateful for the simplest things in life.

I am drooling over this A-line skirt!
A DIY version isn’t out of the question, since I don’t have an extra $1600 hanging around.
Are you a fan of a-line skirts?
