I tried of wearing capris all spring and summer. I want to venture out and try some fun, easy to wear skirts this spring and summer. I'm looking for some skirts that are low maintenance (no ironing) and look good with flip flops and a t-shirt. Can you recommend some websites that offer some great looking skirts?

Boden has a few really cute mini and knee length cotton skirts.

I was in a local camping store the other day, and they had some awesome casual wear believe it or not. Some organic cotton, some was made in the USA, and some of the companies donated money for relief organizations, etc.

One of the skirts I tried on was by this company called Tsunami. It was so. flipping. cute!!! This pic doesn't do it justice (I wouldn't order based on the pic shown, but IRL it was way cute), but it was IMO adorable on.

I don't know if you can find an online retailer or find it locally, but I thought it was super cute and could be dressed up or down (totally appropriate w/ tee and flip flops IMO)

Prana and those types of companies sometimes sell pretty cute casual skirts.

ETA: Sierra Trading has some sporty/casual skirts from Columbia, Royal Robbins, etc. that may be worth a look. For some reason the travel/camping websites and stores seem to carry a lot of the easy to clean, minimal wrinkle, looks cute w/ a tee and flip flops kind of skirts IMO.

I get a lot of mileage out of denim. I have a pencil skirt w/ buttons all the way down (skirt goes to the knee) and an A-line denim skirt I wear a lot.

I am just about to buy this skirt from the Gap:

It looks like it will be easy to wear and care for. :)

ETA- my skirt just arrived and I am wearing it now. It is so, so comfortable. It even has pockets! However, the pleats are almost too much for me as I still have a postpartum tummy. It could be a bit more flattering. I think I will keep it though because it feels so good and I know there will be somedays that comfort will win out over style. I think I could live in this. It comes in tall and petite, btw.
