Price: $56 · From ASOS

The bold, unique print on this pleated midi skirt is the statement piece your closet is lacking. Style Hint: Tuck in a blouse that matches the shade of any of the colors in the skirt's print, but we'd reach for black. It looks especially nice against the brightness of the fuchsia.
