Swingy Skirts

November 18th, 2008

Over the past several months, I’ve declared my obsession with short, swingy skirts ad nauseum. They’re a versatile and flirty departure from simple dresses and I love how they’re immediately dressed up if worn with some opaque tights. For one week only, Asos is offering 20% off most of the site, but of course I jumped right to their covetable selection of skirts and chose my top six.

1. Lipsy Zip Detail Satin Tulip Skirt: $60 $48
2. Lipsy Snake Print Silk Mini Skirt: $75 $60
3. Pink Soda Matte & Shiny Sequin Mini Skirt: $120 $96
4. Little Miss Sew Skull Embroidered Taffeta Skirt: $60 $48
5. Motel Rose Print Tie Waist Full Mini Skirt $52.50 $42
6. Motel Metallic Bow Waist Full Mini Skirt $52.50 $42

I love the idea of showing up to a party in a fun skirt instead of a predictable LBD, don’t you?

    I love all of these skirts! I don’t wear them nearly as often as I’d like, my legs are too long and therefore most are indecent on me.

    I love the gold one!!!
    I’m new on blogspot and I love your style!

    These are so cute! Unfortunately, I have a few things working for me. My legs look like tree trunks, and I’m Mormon, so these are much shorter than I can wear.

    But Blair and Serena on Gossip Girl look smashing in them, as I’m sure you do too.

    Yum yum yum! These are so cute and perky :) Is perky a good word for these flashy gems? I don’t know, but they perk up my spirits thinking about twirling around in them!

    These are all fantastic, but my heart yearns for the sequined one.

    AH! I want #2….

    Ooh! I’m squealing like a little girl over that hot pink one!

    And I’m torn over whether I like the way they’ve styled that flowery one…the white ankle socks with black shoes is a little too much of a throwback to sixth grade for me.

  • http://nikymarie.blogspot.com Nicole Marie

    yes you’re so right! I want 2 and 3!

  • http://www.marvelouskiddo.blogspot.com leigh

    Oooh, yum! I recently discovered Asos, and I was like, “where have you been all my life?!”
    I love #5

    I’m so jealous that you can pull these off because I look awful in these skirts! I’m too short and my legs are not long enough. I look like a cupcake! :)

    ohh remember you recommended I buy bare essentials minera makeup? I’m still trying to find a place that sells it down here, because I have to go through quite a process to buy online! I’ve heard it’s really good though so thanks for the suggestion!!
