Top 10 Skirt Looks of Fashion Bloggers for October 2013 Part 1/2

It’s time for another round up of our favorite blogger skirt looks. We found a lot of cute and enviable skirts but we have to commend these bloggers for their styling chops:

1. Jyoti from United Kingdom

Jyoti

Jyoti’s skirt may be the cutest gold-tone skirt we have ever seen! It’s a circle skirt with scalloped hem and cut out details. Even if it isn’t in this gorgeous metallic color, we would still think it is cute.

2. Olga from South Korea

Olga

It is autumn, after all, so rich and vibrant colors such as oxblood and rust is parading before us. Olga’s metallic oxblood red skirt is to die for! We love how she went for a red-on-red ensemble by pairing it with that cable-knitted top. Lush!

3. Kathleen from California

Kathleen

See what we meant by oxblood being a popular color for fall? We also find Kathleen’s organza skirt way gorgeous! It’s a piece you can style up or style down. Pair it up with a shirt just like what Kathleen did for some stunning streetstyle mash up.

4. Natalie from Florida

Natalie

Natalie’s see-through skirt makes quite a statement but it certainly fits well with the Halloween vibe in the air as of late. The heart pattern on the see-through material gave it a sweeter charm.

5. Magdalena from Slaskie

Magdalena

Metallic skirts are definitely hot these days. Magdalena rocked one in the most adorable pink shades we have ever seen. Style an all pink ensemble? We say yes to that!

More bloggers in their beautiful skirts will be up shortly so you guys watch out for that. But in the mean time, how do you like these featured ones?

Top 10 Skirt Looks of Fashion Bloggers for October 2013 Part 2/2

We are challenged to ante up our skirt styling prowess because of the superbly fashionable ladies we have seen this month. You have seen some of them in the first part of our post. Here are more:

6. Sonya from Ukraine

Sonya

Checkered skirts are definitely “it” items these days so make sure you have one in your wardrobe. We are lusting after Sonya’s full skirt that is brimming with personality. The way she styled it with those clashing printed top and blue shoes made it even more appealing to our eyes.

7. Rachel from Chicago

Rachel

Rachel’s fairy-like skirt is a dream! It looks like you can prance around it all day and have everyone’s attention to your gorgeous self.

8. Toshiko from California

Toshiko

It’s all in the details, they say, and this skirt embodies that. The embossed rose pattern of the skirt blew us away but it was Toshiko’s over-all styling that made this outfit so utterly flooring.

9. Taylor from San Diego

Taylor

What’s not to love about a floral skirt? And a pleated one at that? This is how you rock a floral skirt this autumn ladies! Taylor’s pastel skirt is just the thing to steer away from the rich colors of autumn.

10. Liza from Siberia

Liza

We are saving the most dramatic skirt for last! Liza’s maxi skirt boasts of a deep purple color that is hard to take your eyes away from.

What did you ladies think of their skirts? Did you like them as much as we did?

5 Different Leather Skirts and How to Style Them for Winter

Which leather skirt style is your favorite? We don’t discriminate. Whether it’s a chic midi pencil skirt or a full mini skirt, we want in on the fun.

Leather skirts are undoubtedly sterling skirt options for winter. They do their work in giving you a semblance of cold protection and in keeping your outfits stylish. So when you are in doubt, go for leather skirts!

Take a look at these bloggers and get some ideas on how to style the different types of leather skirts:

1. Pencil Skirt

Jill

Jill from The August Diaries

Pencil skirts are actually quite versatile so you won’t have a hard time styling them. But here is a copy-worthy outfit from The August Diaries blogger, Jill. She wore it with a chunky cable-knitted sweater!

Why this works: She balanced out the slim-fitting silhouette of the skirt with a slouchy top that adds more volume. Jill also played with texture by pairing leather with knitwear, giving this an interesting edge.

2. Pleated Skirt

Barbora

Barbora from Vogue Haus

The pleated leather skirt has a lot of versatility. Not only can you play the part of a preppy girl with it but you can also style it in a modern way. Take a look at Barbora’s outfit. She wore her pleated skirt with a long jacket and a plain shirt. For extremely cold days, mix it up with a pair of tights and ankle boots.

Why this works: A leather jacket might have made this look over-the-top but she only opted for a leather-sleeved jacket. There is a subtle edge to the look that captured the essence of modern styling.

3. Maxi/Midi Skirt

KP

KP from Eleventh and Sixteenth

Leather maxi or midi skirts can be overwhelming. But keep it from looking excessive by choosing solid-colored pieces to go with it. KP did just that when she wore her black leather skirt with her black top and camel-tone coat.

Why this works: The color combination made the whole look cohesive.

Tibi Full Leather Skirt

4. Wrap Skirt

Lydia

Lydia from The Black Feather

Leather wrap skirts are best worn with sweaters. We love Lydia’s look because it is both stylish and appropriate for the winter season. She wore her skirt with a pair of tights and gave the look more edge to it by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

Why this works: Because the wrap skirt is very versatile, it’s easy to wear it with even the chunkiest of tops. The skirt also flattered Lydia’s figure, especially with those tights on.

Get These:

Tess Giberson Leather Wrap Skirt

Tess Giberson Leather Wrap Skirt, $250.00

Josh Goot Wrap Miniskirt

Josh Goot Wrap Miniskirt, $745.00

5. Skater Skirt

Sandra

Sandra from Sandra B

You can’t go wrong with a good leather skater skirt. Wear it just like what Sandra did here – with a fitted top and a coat draped over her shoulders.

Why this works: Sandra played with the length of the pieces in this ensemble. The skirt is short but it was balanced out by the long coat. She also threw in a pair of knee-high boots for more style factor.

Get These:

Topshop Andie Faux Leather Skater Skirt

Topshop Andie Faux Leather Skater Skirt, $76.00

Jennifer Lopez Sheds 14 Years Off in a Youthful Blush Ensemble

Jennifer Lopez showed up at the taping of American Idol all dressed up in a blush metallic ensemble. The 44-year-old performer showed that age is nothing but a number when she put on a rather youthful look – from the sweet pink hues down to her cute half-ponytail – as she arrived backstage to judge at the Hollywood leg of this season’s American Idol auditions. The gorgeous Latina was later joined by a casually dressed Keith Urban.

Jennifer wore a full mini skirt by Kate Spade, which came in a lovely blush metallic material. She paired it with a blush metallic top, some seriously golden heels, a pair of huge drop earrings, and a nude Cayla clutch by Jimmy Choo (available at Saks). The Dance Again diva showed off her atrociously well-maintained toned legs. That’s J.Lo for you, people.

The Kate Spade Aimee skirt boasts of a lovely metallic fabric that easily takes on a voluminous shape, but tends to wrinkle a bit easily. The skirt has inverted pleats that holds the shape of the skirt, which are tucked cleanly into a waistband. The length falls a few inches above the knee, making it a great piece for mixing youthfulness and sophistication.

The skirt is also available in a gray metallic color at Nordstrom.
