MisMags tweeted, "How can I extend my summer wardrobe into the fall with this in-between weather?" Tell me about it! I tried wearing jeans and a flannel while running a few errands today and let's just say, flannel was a bad choice.

Ask It! Answered - The American Apparel Mini

By The Closet Editor · August 19, 2010 · 0 Comments · 20 Views

My girl Maxine, and fellow blogger http://thewizardcops.tumblr.com/, posted this question on polyvore about the ubiquitous American Apparel jersey mini skirt:

"I want to wear this skirt out and about, to school, on holiday, etc, but I'm not exactly sure how without looking like a skank. Help? :) "

I'm a major proponent of this cheap-of-the-week basic. At $25 a pop, I try to make it work for every occasion, from Saturday strolls to late nights. I was all too excited to offer up some advice to my fellow blogger. My post is below:

Take this basic mini out on the town with luxe loose silhouettes and elevated accessories. For regular, out and about wear, or just to school, pair it with minimalist leggings, a slouchy top, and flat boots. A long pendant takes the look from sloppy to chic. I wear this skirt all the time! I'm not sure I'd step out in it for a family holiday, but it works for me for most occasions with these simple tips.
