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

At a sample sale many years ago, I passed on a skirt very similar to this one, and it haunts me to this day. A $1K+ skirt isn’t really in my budget at the moment, but if it were, I’d be pulling the trigger on this high-waisted number from Akris.

After a decade of regret about The Skirt That Got Away, I would wear this every season — with a tucked-in oxford in the summer or with a black turtleneck and booties in the winter. 

The skirt is $1,190 at Neiman Marcus and comes in sizes 2-16. 

On the more casual side, but much more affordable (and very summery), is this green skirt from Boden for $120 (petite, regular, and long sizes, up to 20/22).
