The Versatile "Little Black Skirt" by Nikki Willhite There are certain items of clothing that stretch your wardrobe. Some people think the "little black dress" is essential. I believe "the little black skirt" is even more useful. It is true that a lot of people need a dress in their wardrobe that they can always have ready for  special occasions. However, a black skirt has more versatility, and can be worn more places. What kind of looks can you achieve with a simple black pencil skirt? Here are some of them. - Casual: Top with a sweater, or blouse and  sweater, and a flat shoe or sandals. - Conservative: Wear with a blazer and a fitted blouse. - Country: Wear with a sweater and jacket and boots or loafers. - Dressy: Top with an evening sweater or fancy blouse and heels. - Preppy: Top with an argyle sweater, or shirt  and a vest and wear penny loafers. - Professional: Wear with a blouse, with or without a blazer,  and dress shoes. Once you wear a dress, everyone has seen it. The "little black skirt" can be worn over and over, and it never looks the same. One of the keys to the perfect skirt is to make sure that it is cut well, but has no memorable detailing on it. It should have classic lines. It is just a backdrop for the other clothing worn with it. The great thing about a black skirt is that you can wear any color you want with it. If you want to go dark, you can pair it with a black sweater. If it is a warm, summer day, you can put on a pastel blouse. You not only have the versatility of wearing it with any color your want, you can wear it with most prints, of any color, size, or scale. One last thing, it is timeless and age appropriate for all women.  It is worn by both young and older women. While these clothing strategies work well with another neutral colors, nothing can replace the versatility of black. Make good use of "the little black skirt". It is a wardrobe staple and it can save you a lot of money.
