slip one on I'm reminded that, while circle
skirts will always be the friend I can call at 3 am, ever reliable and knows all

out till dawn and wake up with your sides sore from laughing so hard.
Basic, oversized sweaters were worn underneath fitted
slip dresses adorned with ribbons, gold buttons and chains; old - fashioned houndstooth made its way onto patchwork silk tops, airy shirt dresses and even the sharp collars
of blazers; office - appropriate
skirts were paired with athletic or party - ready shirts (with fringes and sequins galore); and the drapey evening pieces that rounded
out the finale were topped off with a contrasting collar.
