6 Ways to Wear the Rachel Roy Long Skirt

If I could pick a long skirt to buy this holiday season, it would be the Rachel Roy Long Skirt. It’s the perfect piece to wear to those special holiday occasions. It comes in taffeta with puckered jacquard patterns for that extra unique appearance, and a lovely flounce detail on the back for a more dramatic appeal.

I like skirts for the simple reason that you can mix and match them and get different looks. This particular style for instance, will allow me at least five. That definitely beats buying five (5) expensive dresses, don’t you think?

For instance, you can wear it ala Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City) by dressing it down with a great fitting white tee, a fabulous belt, and some accessories:

Sex and the City Style

Tee: Splendid Scoop Neck, US$46 / Belt: Halston Heritage Wide Sash Belt, US$195 / Earrings: Miguel Ases 3 Teardrop Earrings, US$202 (from US$288) / Ring: Alex and Annie Moonraker Cocktail Ring, US$78

(all from Shopbop)

Or, you can actually pair it with these five different tops to create five more different looks:

Sexy and Stunning in Lace

Top: Tibi Lace Corset, US$198

A Touch of Corporate

Top: DSQUARED2 Classic Collared Shirt, US$300

Sweet and Feminine in Sparkles

Top: Rebecca Taylor Sparkle Corset Top, US$350

Ravishing in Wrap

Top: Oonah by Nanette Lepore Leonardo Bodysuit, US$129

Cool and Collected

Top: Velvet Talise Turtleneck, US$66

I guess the only sad part is that the Rachel Roy Long Skirt comes with a really hefty price tag, ergo I can’t afford it. Even at a sale price of US$836.50 (down from US$1,105), it’s still hard to stomach.

But if you are one of the fortunate few who can and who would be willing to spend that much, by all means, feel free. It’s available at Shopbop.com. All the tops shown above are also from Shopbop.
