A-line skirts

[niccig]

Ok fashion divas. I look best in A-line skirts. I want to get another one or two for the summer...so hit me with your best a-line skirt options. I'm Ok with colour, print or plain...I'm a size 6 or 8 (depends) and with an a-line, I can sometimes even go a size smaller - much smaller waist than hips...

Thank you muchly.

In the past I have lived in a-line skirts in the summer. This is the only one I've picked up so far for summer. Plain, but I love that I can dress it up or down and it looks great with a cardigan. http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse...scid=619419002

I haven't bought any yet, but I love a lot of the Boden skirts...fun prints and colors.

These don't totally keep their A structure but they are flattering, cheap and I live in these all summer!

I just got one of these too! Ok, not to hijack but... What type of top will you wear with it? I feel like not a babydoll/a-line top. Probably a more "fitted" tshirt? (Not SO fitted, but not aline/babydoll style.)

Fitted, for sure, because it looks best on me plus I think because the skirt is kind of flowy it could look a bit frumpy to have two loose things. I am sure it totally depends on the top though. My summer uniform is one of these skirts with a ribbed tank top. Any more fitted top works too.

How do they work in covering the bumps? I saw these and I'm going to go try them on, but normally I stay away from jersey because it can cling. How do these work out?

I have one of these in a different print and really like it.

I have the same body type as OP and this Nanette Lepore skirt looks very nice on me an http://tinyurl.com/csnkjt

I get compliments on it every time I wear it.

I paid ~$80 for it on sale at one of the department stores 1.5-2 years ago. I wear it slightly lower on the hips. It's fully lined.

I think it does really well but VPL is an issue. Otherwise, the cut of the skirt is flattering.

I have that Old Navy skirt and am even wearing at 31 weeks pregnant (although the skirt is not maternity, the foldover waist just folds under my belly). I did just start pairing it with maternity tanks, because the non-maternity ones were finally getting a little small.
