Keep BOTH!!! How often do you really dry clean your skirts? They don't get that dirty at work!

Lovely! I too have a slight preference for the orange in terms of figure flattery (no, it's not the hips, Shannon; like K Can Shop says, it's the centre back that kind of bells outward, though the side seams seem to curve in at the hem) as well as easier upkeep (dry-cleaning might have been a deal-breaker for me).

I adore the orange on you. The lines of the skirt are stunning.

The drycleaning would be a deal breaker on the cobalt one. I mean it's already $38 to clean a skirt, add leather trim and you might as well buy a new skirt instead of clean it...

I've read the label for the Tahari skirt and it turns out the leather trim at the top of the waistband is faux leather - therefore I think the dry cleaning would be less costly.

Sounds like I should keep both? although definitely a preference for the orange.

Sveta - LOVE your idea of pairing the orange skirt with the blue KS pumps and white denim jacket - what would I wear for a top under the jacket? Just a white tank?

Thanks for all the feedback ladies!

I love Sveta's idea , too! How about a polkadot top under. Superstore had a bunch of Joe Fresh polka dot T's in last time I was there. A plain t would look good, too.

Well, as someone who has not been able to find bright skirts, I think these are VERY exciting! Keep keep keep!

I'm a big fan of bright pencil skirts! I love the orange one on you, the shaping is just perfect. The blue one was great... until the side view. I like the way the orange tapers, it looks more flattering to me. But I also prefer my pencils a bit tighter so take that for what you will Regarding lining, I would say a slip should work fine. Regarding tights, I think if you like and wear black that should work just fine. If you're concerned about Halloween-ness just be sure that you're not wearing ONLY orange and black; I think that overly matchy matchy with just those two colors is what does it. (I am wearing a primarily orange and black outfit today, but there's a healthy dose of white and blue in there. I don't think it looks Halloweeny at all.)

I've tried the blue on again (you can see it in my Leather Jacket #2 thread) and decided I really don't like the fit. I feel very wide in it. It's going back and I'm keeping the orange one.

Thanks all.
