A Holiday Skirt & Black Friday Sales

Gold is one of my favorite metallics, and this gold midi skirt is an absolute bargain for around $14 (and has an elastic waistband--ha!) and makes for a jazzy holiday skirt that's also super versatile -- it also comes in silver. Because it is such a statement piece, I paired it with black opaque tights, a black Uniqlo turtleneck, black Dolce Vita suede boots, and a tough leather belt with coordinating gold details, to make it more wearable for daytime. This skirt could easily be dressed up with a lace top worn under a tuxedo jacket, some strappy heels or pointy toe booties, and gold jewelry. Though I would stick to a monochromatic look with a bold skirt, play around with different color families, like grey, taupe, cream, and navy blue.
