Wearing tennis shoes with skirts isn’t rocket science, but it’s still tricky. We’d love to help eliminate that “fashion doubt” you feel before you walk out the door, so, we’ve picked out 5 tennis shoe and skirt combinations that rock.

1. BCBGMAXAZRIA Formal Skirt with Dual Zip Hi Top Converse

Feeling a little glam? Get this combo. I’m normally not a fan of shiny pink things, but I’ve got to say, these shoes may make me change my ways. These Chuck Taylor shoes are, obviously, different than the brand’s standard, but we’re totally OK with that. Priced at $80. This skirt is a steal at $38.99 and we love its flirty frills. It would look great with a fuzzy, crop top sweater, and fishnets.

2. Hold My Hand Cord Skirt with Dolce & Gabbana Sneakers

Looking for a cute combo that you can easily layer? This is a great option. This cord skirt would look great with some sweater tights, wool socks, a chunky sweater, and a pea coat — yeah, it’s cold outside. Priced at $78. We love these shoes because they’re cute as heck and make walking quickly from your car into work, etc., a breeze. Priced at $162.49.

3. Trumpet Sweater Skirt with Brooks Coffeehouse Chariot Sneakers

We love this long skirt because it’s simple and can be worn at nearly any casual occasion or office. Priced at $128. Want to dress up this simple skirt? We thought you would. These beige sneakers come with gold accents that will do just that. Priced at $110.

4. Latter to Love Skirt with Superga Nappa Sneakers

Who wouldn’t want to wrap up in this maxi dress on a cold day? Also, come spring, it would be comfortable on cool, early spring days with a light sweater and tee-shirt. Priced at $228. We like these sneakers because they are simple. While they would look great with this skirt, they’d also pair well with jeans, cords, leggings, etc. Priced at $139.

5. Holding Horses Range Skirt with Basket Mid Trainer

You can never go wrong with a denim skirt — really. We love this one because it’s highly adaptable and could be worn all year long. Priced at $148. White sneakers are a closet staple — they can literally go with everything. But we do suggest you don’t wear these on a rainy or snowy day — keep the color bright for as long as possible. Priced at $95.

For some women, skirts inspire feelings of love mixed with hate. EcoSalon West Coast fashion correspondent Rowena Ritchie writes in Skirting The Issues, “Hemlines are the litmus test of fashion history as a cultural study.” Do you agree?

If you’re like most people, you have a mountain of reusable bags that we hope you’re using and not just stockpiling to show how green you are. EcoSalon Editor-in-Chief, Sara Ost pens in her column The Insider’s Guide To Life: the Revolution Will Not Be Bagged, “Most of the time, I’m just amused by how relentless the bag pushers are. Rather than sigh in irritation during my moments of canvas bag forgetfulness, I’ve actually taken to forgetting my reusable bags on purpose just to see if I can be allowed out of the store without a bag for my chives or new d’Orsays. No one has called me crazy to my face. But their eyes say it all.”

We women have all had bad bosses, but your ex-heavy isn’t anything compared to these featured in senior editor Andrea Newell’s article, The Five Worst Companies For Women To Work At. Newell features “Five organizations that have recently been on the wrong end of allegations and legal action by women for gender discrimination and other unfair practices aimed primarily at female employees.”

People walk into your house and say, “You have the most original house of anyone I know.” After they say this, you scan your room overflowing with tropical plants, vintage lamps, a worn-in couch with Danish Mid-Century side tables and think to yourself “Huh?” Christiane Lemieux, founder and creative director of DwellStudio and author of Undecorate, would call your eclecticism a “Love of imperfection and penchant for surprise and unusual juxtapositions.” In Color Outside The Lines, Shelter Editor Leigha Oakes shows us how to break the rules.
