Item of the Week: Leather Skirts

Ann Taylor Leather Pencil Skirt (also in petite, $89 + 40% off)

Want to jazz up your basic knits and blouses?  Pick up a leather skirt.  The contrast between the soft, ladylike tops and leather bottoms is a nice take on the masculine/feminine trend.

I prefer not to buy black leather skirts; they feel a bit severe to me.  Instead, I chose this Ann Taylor skirt in pine green.  I also love this Rebecca Taylor skirt in cognac with a kick hem.  This grey Tommy Hilfiger skirt is an affordable choice.  And if you love burgundy (fall’s hottest hue) this midi-length skirt from Oliveacious ($48!) is a great buy.

Plus-size?  I love this dusty pink Ashley Nell pleated skirt and this grey Melissa McCarthy skirt for something more modern.
