Bouncy billowing mini skirts were all over the Louis Vuitton runways, but there's no reason to wait until next fall to break out such a seasonless trend. Worn with flats and a cardigan, the skirt is coquetteish and cute. With heels and a tucked-in ruffled top, it takes on a whole new life. Wear it with tights and sweaters, with sandals and swimsuits!
The best I have found all season? Sweet tutu-inspired twirlers from Gapkids. Lined tulle, lots of tiers, and pretty summer-perfect fuchsia shades. The best part? Both are under $40.
And the worst? They are only in children's sizes. Why do so many designers think you have to be under the age of ten to enjoy a good ruffle or fluffy bow? Obviously Gap hasn't been Tivoing Gossip Girl.
