I like the Athleta "Bodega" skirt, but they don't seem to carry it - it's knee-length, gored (so full skirt), with a wide waistband & subtle ruching details at the "points" of the gores of the skirt. Very casual, but could definitely be dressed up for evening with the right shoes & accessories. I don't remember what I paid for it, but will assume I bought it on sale!
The other skirt I love for summer is a broadcloth, A-line number I picked up from Land's End several years ago. They are not currently selling anything similar.
Aside from that, I'm not much help. I'm not crazy about the way jersey clings to my hips.
