Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

This striped midi skirt looks so summery that it makes me want to drink a glass of lemonade on a patio. I love that it comes in both regular and petite sizes. (I’m not usually a petite, but with midi skirts, I sometimes find the petite lengths more flattering.)

Wear this with a short-sleeved sweater and some flats for a perfect business casual look or with a tank top and sandals for the weekend.

The skirt is $45 at Banana Republic Factory — with 20% off at checkout — and comes in petite sizes 00-12 and regular sizes 0-18. It does come in two other patterns, but only in the regular sizes.
