There's some romance to the full skirt — it's got a '50s femininity — and this Spring full skirts dominated the runways creating hourglass figures on the leanest of models. Louis Vuitton presented pastel-colored lace and organza skirts. Rochas channeled simple yet classic, '60s-inspired styles. Jil Sander featured a sheer, lavender and mint green gingham full skirt. Dolce & Gabbana spiced up the runway with bombshell silhouettes. The shape is actually quite versatile: wear it with a slouchy tee and strappy sandals, a crisp button-down and pumps, or a silk tank and booties, depending on your mood and the occasion.

4 Decor Ideas to Spice Up Bare Kitchen Walls

Rather than filling your bare kitchen walls with extra shelving or a spice rack, hang something decorative to give your kitchen a homey yet polished look.

Rather than filling your bare kitchen walls with extra shelving or a spice rack, hang something decorative to give your kitchen a homey yet polished look. Whether your decorative style leans more toward vintage, traditional, or abstract, we have four ideas to spice up your kitchen.

  • Go for a rustic vegetable or fruit painting like one of these Verdura Fresco Tiles ($39-$99) of tomatoes, asparagus, and carrots.
  • Chalkboards like this Laidley Wall-Mount Entryway Chalkboard ($249) are great to hang on kitchen walls so you can easily write messages to your roommates or family members, keep track of the grocery list, or plan the week ahead.
  • Invest in a large, abstract piece of artwork with a food theme like "Abe's Recipe" by Susan Allbert ($2,800).
  • For a kitchen reminiscent of Grandma's, hang a framed crochet pattern or this bronze Many Hearts Wall Sculpture ($39) that looks like vintage cookie cutters.
