This i a skirt for the office, or the christmas party. No-nonsense with a hint of vintage romance.

Below knee fitted skirt with a contrasting high waist band.
Six panels that makes the skirt slightly flared for a more flattering silhouette.

A small tightly pleated frill (optional) matches the waist band. With creative use of snap buttons it could be removeable.
Some type of wool fabric for the outer layer, maybe tartan on the bias or tweed.
