Fall Street Style: Full Skirt

Can you believe that the first day of Fall is this Sunday?!!  I mean, seriously, did we even have Summer?  It seems to breeze by faster and faster every year, and while I love the summertime, I'm also madly in love with Fall fashion!  

So to get you started with some fresh new looks, how about taking on an old classic that's getting a revived pep:  the full skirt!  I love this look for an abundance of reasons, from its ultra feminine silhouette, to its very flirty and fun nature.  And perhaps best of all, the full skirt flatters pretty much every body type you can think of!

You want to aim for a full skirt that is cinched in at the waistline, or at least top the skirt off with a belt right at your waist so that you don't lose your curves under this cut.  I also recommend tucking in your blouse to further define an hourglass shape, though topping with a cardigan or sweater and knotting it at your waist works wonders as well.

Try the skirt in bold hues to add some boost of color to your fall wardrobe (that typically goes more towards blacks, grays, and browns).  And for the most updated spin on this twirling wonder, try a full skirt with a hi-low hemline cut to make the outfit more 2013 friendly, and less 1950's poodle.  

For an elegant touch, add heels, either pumps or peep-toes.  Wearing flats works fabulously as well if you want a more casual and playful look!

So what do you think of the full skirt?  Will you give it a try?
