Calling a Skirt a Skirt

September 3, 2015 by styledbykdg

Work attire this fall is positively luxurious.

The fabrics are rich but comfortable. While shades of the 60’s and 70’s are having a highly publicized moment, I am feeling a bit of the 40’s and 50’s elegance in the tailored, classic pieces.
