The colors are bright and rich. The skirt itself fits well and although it is snug, it's surprisingly forgiving if you have a few flaws. Easy to dress up or down, great for work, lunch with the girls, or a date. Order your normal size as these seem to run pretty consistent. I love the low key sexiness of this skirt - it is figure flattering, but is such a cute design that it doesn't look like you've tried too hard.
