Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Faux Leather A-Line Maxi Skirt

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Leather (or faux leather) in the office can be a bit controversial, but the general consensus around these parts is that it can work if the styling is right. This A-line maxi skirt from Vince Camuto is a classic shape, and with a conservative top and accessories, I think it would be perfect for almost any office.

I would probably go for a feminine blouse in a silky fabric to balance things out, like this bow-neck blouse from Ann Taylor. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like this skirt is available in petites, so unless you’re willing to spend quite a bit on alterations, this is going to be for the taller folks only!

The skirt is $39.97 at Nordstrom Rack and comes in sizes S-XL. It also comes in navy and merlot.
