Yellow Print Pencil Skirt

This weekend has been pretty gloomy, but when I saw this yellow pencil skirt it perked me right up. It's not what I would call affordable at $220, but if you can swing it this piece would instantly brighten up your work wardrobe (with heels) and its cute enough for running around on the weekends with flats or wedges, so you could get a lot of mileage out of it. And I tend to make decisions on a "price per wear" basis. If I absolutely love something and I know that I can get a lot of use from a piece, I can sometimes rationalize spending the extra scratch.

BCBG MaxAzaria Tiered Chiffon

If you are a Bluefly fan, you are probably aware of B*Fly, the new "contemporary" sister company of Bluefly. I was checking it out during my lunch today and this ivory chiffon dress caught my eye immediately. Its beautiful, soft, and flitty looking and I adore it. If you can check out the closeup on the site, the scalloped edge along the top is really lovely.

If you are looking for a new floral skirt to get you going this spring, here are a a few of my faves.

Darling Dress

I normally don't like too cutesy, and this comes really close, but I love the yellow, white, and brown combination. I fear I might look like a cream puff in this dress, but for only $27.80 its totally worth grabbing and working it out.

Shirred Dress at MaxStudio

Looking for a comfortable and flattering dress to wear in lieu of shorts? I would definitely give this Shirred Dress at MaxStudio a look. The shirred front design could be uber flattering and the pockets are a huge plus. I really dig the olive color, but it also comes in black and is still available in each size (xs-xl) for $168.
