After working in retail for 3 years, it’s really hard for me to go to Forever 21. The clothes are cheap, poorly made and the sales associates are, many times, incredibly rude. But, in an attempt to not spend my whole paycheck before I left for college, I hit up Forever 21 for some cute gear.

While there, I found a very cute skirt that may change my attitudes towards skirts in general! I’m a very casual dresser — jeans and a cute tank or crop top are my go to staples for leaving the house because I always feel like I’m going to be overdressed in a skirt. But, voila! Not always. 

This Knit A-Line Skirt ($15.80 from Forever 21), is a really cute olive green (a great fall color) and can be work with tights, little ankle booties and denim vest for a rocker vibe, with a loose crop top or leotard for a more indie vibe or with a button down either tucked in or with the shirttails tied for a cutesy, dressier look.

So I guess a skirt doesn’t have to be all that dressy, even if it still can be. Lovelies, what are your favorite skirts to wear a million ways or Forever 21 finds that don’t look like they’re from Forever 21?
