Spring is the season of the skirt and I couldn't be happier. In my almost 30-year lifetime, as someone who has loved fashion since the day I could dress myself, skirts have always been one of my favorite wardrobe staples. Looking back to my early childhood years, it was all about full and flouncy ballet skirts, worn over leotards or underneath party dresses, made for spinning around and flaring out. The freedom and fun I associated with skirts changed as I got older; with hip-skimming mini skirts entering my wardrobe in my early teen years, usually met with a raised eyebrow response from my father. Then in my college years, the tighter the better, as we entered the era of bodycon and bandage skirts. Nowadays, I love to wear midi and maxi skirts as a more fun and interesting alternative to pants, and nothing beats a timeless leather mini skirt, which belongs in every wardrobe.
