I think what makes this outfit ok for work is
1. the skirt is black - no flashy patterns or uber-bright colors
2. the skirt is length-appropriate and hits just at my knee
3. simple, classic pieces finish the outfit - black, round-toe pumps and a 3/4 length, simple off-white sweater
4. simple accessories - I have gold, hoopy earrings on...although you can't see them in the photo. Now that I'm thinking about it, though, I really should have worn my Wilson Leather black/gold snakeskin-style bangle...oh well.

I was saying to myself "D hasn't posted enough of her outfits lately" and yay! I was delighted. Fab as always :)
yes and it also works because your top is a bit fitted...not loose...bubble skirts are growing on me but by the time i will like them...they will be like, totally 2 weeks ago lol
Aww...thanks GG! You are too sweet!
Trendini - Good point! The fitted top balances out the fuller bottom. Maybe you can pull a "Shopaholic D" and find one on mad sale, so you won't feel bad if it goes out of style quickly?

Love, love your outfits! Thanks for sharing them with us and it's great to see clothes on a real person versus the models they use in the online stores or the mannequins.
I love my charcoal (dull) satin Banana Republic bubble skirt - it's so swishy and fun! I've had it for over a year and worn mine to work. Like you, I find it works best with fitted tops. They have another one in this season - some sort of mottled print that reminds of me of an Impressionist painting! Covet it!!!
