Reader Question - What to wear with this skirt?

ReaderQuestion

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog! I bought this Applique Afternoon Skirt from The Limited recently on super clearance because it was so pretty, but I have no idea what top to wear with it. What would you recommend to wear for work, and what for weekend?

If you can’t tell from the photo, it hits about knee length.
Thanks!

Oh wow, the possibilities are nearly endless with this great black and white skirt. It appears to be almost seasonless too, so you will be able to wear it straight into spring and summer too but for now I recommend pairing the looks below with tights.

Here are a couple of work looks and weekend looks for you that I think would be great.

I just found your blog, love it!
I am not a long time discount shopper but I'm finding it fun as I do love the thrill of the hunt. And I no longer want to spend the money I once did :)
I have to share my purchase today (haven't bought anything in a loooong time):
A leopard print cropped jacket from Kohl's for $41!
I wore tonight to a talk about economics, how apropos! :) I got so many compliments on it just waiting in line!

Ooo, I have that skirt and I LOVE it because there are huge pockets on it so you don't even need a purse!
