Winter Fashion Shopping Guide

This Something Else Laser Star Skirt ($176) instantly struck me as romantic, laid-back, and, oh yeah, perfect for any number of potential Valentine's Day outfits I may come up with. Styled with a chunkier (preferably darker) knit sweater, tights, and ankle boots, this flouncy skirt has the sweetness of a date-night look, but will continue to serve me well way after February.
