What I Want Now for Spring - For Less

SKIRTS! SKIRTS! SKIRTS!

This weather has me in the mood for spring and I plan on wearing skirts!  Short, knee-length (mid-calf, if I find any) and especially Maxi-length!  Pair a maxi-length skirt with a great fitted top, even a simple tank top, and a great belt.  If you keep the shirt and skirt simple then go for a loud belt! 

Although Calypso is best known for their long bright skirts, these two short skirts are adorable and $15 (check out their Final Sale Section for an extra 50% off Code: FINALSALE112):

I am not going to lie, I am very impressed with the selection at the Gap lately! I am planning on stocking up on some of their great cotton tops (to pair with all my skirts)!  Good quality for an even better price!  These tops are all a steal at under $25:
