The ocher color of this satin pencil skirt from D&G Dolce & Gabbana is so alive! It stands out so vibrantly amidst a (New York City) sea of black, gray and white. And, it’s a great color to wear year round. Another noteworthy aspect here is the tailoring - sexy without being trashy. The same holds true for the prominent zipper that goes down the back which I’ve noticed with a few D&G and Dolce & Gabanna things lately so it must be a trademark of sorts for them. In any case, what make this skirt even more glorious is the price - only $350. This is pretty, pretty good considering that it can also carry you from day to evening.

By the way, the black D&G silk chiffon ruffle blouse it’s been paired with is a standout too. I love the contrast between the sleekness of the skirt and the ruffled romance of the blouse. The V-back with the grosgrain tie is a wonderful added detail. At $395, it’s more than the skirt, but you can certainly get good use out of it by dressing it down with denim, for example.
