I love how a little gold trim elevates these basic black pumps into a full-on glamorous statement.

1. Mango flutter sleeve blouse,
2. River Island leather jacket,
3. Marc Jacobs patent leather clutch,
4. J.Crew gold-trimmed pumps,
5. Mother of Pearl floral print skirt,

This mixed print skirt is a nice way to shake up the office uniform--and then some.

This is the kind of statement skirt that would show up with delightful regularity in my weekly rotation.

A contrasting black trim and a zipper slit add the perfect amount of edge to this all-season skirt.

If there's ever a night to show some leg, it's tonight. Happy New Year! But these women, pictured here, prove that any old day warrants a sexy slit skirt. Leila Yavari, above, perfectly executes Preen's zipper-trimmed skirt (30% off !), which cleverly features adjustable front slits. (You can find a more spring-friendly version of this skirt .) Meanwhile, Netaporter's fashion director Holli Rogers (below) goes for it in an skirt, and expertly tempers its seductive lines with a (that's now 30% off). Other slit skirts that are catching my eye: this daring one from , this more demure one from , and this classic black (60% off).

The asymmetrical hem--something we'll be seeing a lot of next spring--gives this leather skirt an extra dose of edge.

A great statement shoe under $100 is a rare find, much less one that is also winter-to-summer versatile.

The jewel-like beading makes this the ultimate party skirt.

With the fringe thing set to be huge next spring (a post on this trend coming soon!), why not get a jump start with this swishy skirt.
