Best Fit: Skirts

We minxes come in all shapes and sizes, so that can make shopping a bit of a problem for us. Especially in the Summer when we want to show off our assets, but not in the wrong or unflattering skirts and dresses. However, there are a few tried and true classics you can always follow to make sure you look your best!



If you're more of an apple shape (bigger at the top than the bottom) then a structured skirt is best to help give you a slender belly and sleek looking legs. A few favorites pieces from our store would be the Ember Skirt in White by BB Dakota because it's tailored, yet with the lace it's playful. The High Waisted Pencil Skirt in Grey by Billy Blues is a great at work skirt that's flattering on your tummy and hugs you in all the right places.

If you're more of a pear shape (bigger at the bottom than the top) then an A-line skirt is your best bet to accentuate your waist and hide your hips.Try the Pleated Pocket Skirt in Black by Michael Stars for a fun, flouncy day look. The Shadow Skirt in Black by Kensie is a good alternative to pants when you're at work.

Pick of the Week!

The high-waisted pencil skirt has been on my radar lately, probably for it's form fitting elegance and feminine sophistication. With fun flats or tall boots, the high waisted skirt works for almost every season. What do you pair yours with? A flowing blouse, simple tank, or tailored blazer?
The Kendra Skirt in Blue from BB Dakota is a favorite of mine, complete with trim cotton tiers and a slim fit. The unique shade of blue is great paired with any neutral top or even a print. Perfect for work or play!
