Help?! Fashion emergency!


I need a simple and cute black skirt. I’ve been looking for that “perfect” skirt for ~a year and I just haven’t felt the love. So, now I am asking for help.

Below, you’ll find my paramters for the “perfect” skirt:
- It should fall just past the knee.
- I want to be able to wear it in Summer, but also in Winter with boots.
- I’m not a “flowy” type of person, so nothing too “gypsy-ish” but I don’t want to have to diet before I wear it either.
- I don’t mind some sort of trim or decor, but nothing over the top. A tie, ribbon detail, etc. - all good. A burnout or some sort of flower attachment? Probably not.
- As for budget, please keep in mind I love the styles of Banana Republic, BCBG and the like but at a TJ Maxx or eBay price. :)

I’ve almost given up… Anyone have any advice?

ps the one in the photo…it’s close. But I don’t like the “ruffle” at the bottom.
