Meet the Top 10 Skirt Bloggers of November 2014

Can you believe it's already December? It wasn't long when we've featured our favorite skirt outfits for October and now, we're already bidding goodbye to November through another round-up of our favorite outfits.

This month might have breezed through but it's definitely not lacking in outfits that will make you stop and take a second glance. Here are the bloggers who made it to this list:

1. Liat from Canada

Liat superbly incorporated her midi leather skirt by partnering it with a sweater and an overcoat. Just slip on a pair of thermal tights when the days are cold and this outfit can already be your go-to one.

2. Monica from Georgia

We're happy to see the mermaid skirt making a comeback after its brief stint earlier this year. Monica styled it to perfection - with a striped sweater over a button down shirt, a pair of pumps and a chain-strapped bag.

3. Cassandra from Singapore

Cassandra channeled her inner Parisian-chic in this fiery red pencil skirt that she wore with a cute fox-printed sweater. We don't know which one we covet more - her skirt or her sweater?

4. Daniela from Florida

This is how you wear florals in autumn and winter! We love the floral print of Daniela's skirt. Wearing it with a black sweater and platform peep-toe pumps also amped up the classy meter.

5. Helena from Spain

We've always though black pleated skirts are classy and versatile and we're once again proven right. We love how Helena styled it with a red striped sweater for that holiday feel and how she kept her accessories polished and chic.

6. Angela from California

We are more than a wee bit smitten with Angela's Altuzarra skirt. It's a great staple for those women who need more versatility in their wardrobe as this piece can easily go beyond your 9-5 schedule!

7. Cassandra from New York

This is how you do shades of grey right! We can't get over how cute that flared skirt is and how Cassandra took the pretty level up a notch by wearing a plaid muffler over her outfit.

8. Anna from Russia

Is there really something bad that can be said about a swan-printed skirt? No? We thought so too. Anna looked adorable in this covetable skirt!

9. Alba from Spain

If you have a skirt with this structure, you pretty much can stand there and look fabulous all the time. But Alba made her skirt stand out even more by wearing it with a fuzzy sweater, a pair of ankle boots and a shoulder bag.

10. May from Congo

It's definitely the time to saturate your closet with anything plaid. Take a cue from May who wore it with a green coat and a sweater. We will wear this outfit any day!

If these amazing outfits are anything to go by, December is bound to become one stylish month. Stay tuned for our last list for 2014!

Pleated skirts come in different forms these days. Cute electric-pleated skirts work wonders in achieving the preppy look.

Give a new look to your old pieces, particularly your button down tops, by pairing them up with pleated skirts!

There's no shortage of flounce skirts these days. While these might be a little tricky to wear because of their silhouette, there are actually a lot of ways to style them. You can even wear them with just a basic boxy shirt or go the extra mile in layering them with a sweater or a jacket.

While pencil skirts may look daunting (I don't know about you but I still look at pencil skirts and think office wear), they can be worn even for your most casual days.

Wear the Trend: 50′s Skirts Under $50

Out with the short, and in with the midis. Fall/Winter 2014 is all about the midi skirt, and what better way to celebrate this classic silhouette than to splash a little vintage onto it? Whether you're channeling a quirky full-on Zooey Deschanel look or experimenting with ways to mix a little nostalgia with modern pieces, these six skirts are sure to scratch that 50 s itch (did we mention that they're all under $50?).

1.

Ruche Green Gables Circle Skirt in Mustard, $39.99

Tone down a bright sunny color to a more fall-friendly subdued one such as a pretty mustard shade. For that 50 s look, find one with a single horizontal stripe that delicately runs right across the entire width of the skirt. Pair it with bolder stripes and a pretty pointed-toe pump (you can throw in some metallic for an instant holiday vibe) and you're all set.

Try the look:

Ruche Green Gables Circle Skirt In Mustard, $39.99 / Oasis Stripe Polo Neck Jumper, Black/Beige, 25.00 / ASOS Timeless Oneil Black Heeled Shoes, $49.83 (before: $74.75)

2.

Dorothy Perkins Black and Stone Midi Skirt, 22

Flower power, anyone? Slapping a 70 s flower print onto an A-line silhouette automatically turns the look from hippie to darling vintage. Complete the look with a turtleneck cap-sleeved crop top and a dual-strapped mary jane pumps to put a little back-to-the-future edge to this look.

Try this look:

Dorothy Perkins Black and Stone Midi Skirt, 22 / Charlotte Russe Cap Sleeve Mock Neck Crop Top, $7.50 (before: $10.99) / Dune Black Patent Aibleen Mary Jane Pointed Toe Court Shoe, 48.00 (before: 69.00

3.

Ruche Corner Store Polka Dot Midi Skirt, $42.99

Nothing says Hairspray quite like polka dots (we'd say Grease but leather wins on that one). Put a little modern twist into the polkadot A-line skirt look by going print-on-print with, what else, more polkadots! To get a good contrast, choose different sized dots for your top and skirt, and make sure the colors complement each other. Slip your feet into white ankle-strapped pointed-toe d'orsays for a fresh look.

Try this look:

Ruche Corner Store Polka Dot Midi Skirt, $42.99 / Forever 21 Polka Dot Tube Top, $7.80 / Fashion Union White Stiletto Ankle Strap Shoe, 28.00

4.

ASOS Scuba Midi Skirt With Kilt Buckles, $42.72 (before: $71.19)

Mixing-and-matching not your thing? Not to fret - a monotone outfit makes as strong a statement as a print-on-print one. Go for bold colors such as a firetruck red or orange, and you're sure to get asked out to a burger-and-milkshake date (okay, so maybe that's a wee bit outdated). Just be careful when mixing silhouettes and hues as the wrong combinations may make you end up looking a bit deranged.

Try this look:

ASOS Scuba Midi Skirt With Kilt Buckles, $42.72 (before: $71.19) / River Island Bright Pink Ruched Sweetheart Crop Top, $20 (before: $40) / New Look Red Cross Strap Pointed Court Shoes, 12.99 (before: 22.99)

5.

Ruche Prairie Fields Floral Indie Skirt, $39.99

We've gone with a 70 s floral pattern, so now let's dial it back down to the softer and sweeter florals of the 50 s and 60 s. Pile on the sugar by wearing an off-shoulder top with a sweetheart neckline, partnered with ultra-femme strappy heels in a beige or pinkish nude hue. Don a red lip ala Katy Perry for a stronger vintage feel, or you can opt to stick to lighter shades for a subdued modern take on the era.

Try this look:

Ruche Prairie Fields Floral Indie Skirt, $39.99 / ASOS Crop Top with Sweetheart Neck and Off Shoulder, $17.80 / Nine West Breezin Platform Sandals, $33.37 (before: $89)

6.

Dorothy Perkins Black Mesh Hem Circle Skirt, 22.00

More of a Posh Spice than a Ginger Spice? These 50 s A-line skirts look good in black, too, especially with clever little mesh insets at the hem. If you prefer a little color, pick out an aztec print crop top with a sweetheart neckline. Pair it with a daintily strapped pointed-toe d'orsay to liven up this posh ensemble.

Try this look:

Dorothy Perkins Black Mesh Hem Circle Skirt, 22.00 / Damned Delux Women's Aztec Binded Bralet Top in Mint/Pink, 12.99 / ASOS Saturday Heels, $44.50
