Splendid Skirt: Ice Blue Jacquard Skirt from Miss Selfridge

The Miss Selfridge sale is now on, with up to 70% off.  This ice blue jacquard patterned skirt is lovely and the skater style is very much on-trend at the moment, as well as being perfect for hotter weather.  The benefits of skater skirts are the high waist and loose, flared fit which can create the illusion of a slimmer waistline and hips.  With this particular skirt, as jacquard fabric is quite thick, it would work best balanced out with a tighter top - I'm thinking a tucked-in slinky white silk vest top would look amazing along with some fab wedged sandals (maybe the white and silver Steve Madden ones I found the other day?).

Originally £35, it's £17 in the sale and available in sizes 8 to 16.
