The RM by Roland Mouret skirt is fantastic--a pencil skirt you can actually move in, and so sexy! I think I'm usually drawn to the pouf skirts though.
What a fantastic selection of skirts!
I love the silhouette of slim top/voluminous skirt.

I'm in doubt, does the pouf skirt hide the hips or make them more volumous????
But I like those skirts... what shall I do???

If I had that bottega skirt and the top you will see me polishing them day and night obsessively.
I can't take my eyes off the green poufy Jenny Humphry dress - it's stunning! And I absolutely love the blue skirt from Harlan Bel and the black wet-look skirt from Todd Lynn. Great post, dear xoxo
