Dear Cheap Chica,

I just received my BCBG Bandage Skirt in royal blue and I don’t know what to wear it!  Please help me style an outfit for this awesome skirt!!

Thanks!

Dear Tiffany,

I have to say that your choice in skirts is fabulous and I’m so happy to hear that you chose it in royal blue! The bandage skirt is one of the hottest trends we are seeing this season!

72795355-05If you’re willing to go bold, my advice is to hit up a primary color and find a unique silhouette like this top from Forever 21.  This one is a little on the longer side, but you’ll be tucking it in and I like the contrast of a voluminous top with such a tight fitting skirt.

A top in a bright, attention getting color like yellow combined with your royal blue skirt will make your outfit look new and seriously updated.

Now if you’re looking for something a little safer, choosing a simple black tank can complete your look as well. Celebrities such as Lauren Conrad and Rhianna and have both been spotted in this sleek and sexy look.

When it come to shoes opt for a high pump in any neutral tone for the bright outfit and a black shoe for the simpler look.

The great thing about the bandage skirt is that it’s totally versatile…you can wear this  with anything from tanks and tees during the Spring/Summer and with cute leather jackets and your your favorite blazer all year long!

Here are some of my favorite picks for styling your newest purchase…

Nice post! I do this too on occasion; buy a perfect piece and then get overwhelmed by the styling options. Way to point out two equally beautiful styling directions. :)

I love your post, I love bandage skirts and dresses, they hug all the curves, making them more prominent. Good suggestions.
