Ask BB: Kim Kardashian's Fit and Flare Leather Skirt Look for Less

I would love to find this skirt for a reasonable price. I love the hem…it takes the harshness away from a leather mini. Any ideas where I might find it? —Karen

I think you perfectly described the hard-meets-soft appeal of Kim's Givenchy fish-tail ruffle leather skirt, which retailed for $1,383 at mytheresa.com. Here are some look for less alternatives:

The first option I found is available at Forever21.com for just $14.80, a foolproof-buy if you're looking to test drive this trend before investing in it:


For $49.90, Express also has an affordable option which really seems to capture the fit-and-flare style of Kim's skirt (at least in the photos):



Ready to spend a little more? TheOutnet.com has one of the real-leather designer options available for $325 by Iris and Ink - it fits more like a pencil skirt but you might be able to wear it higher on your waist to get the desired effect:



Got a suggestion for Karen? Let her know in the comments!

Thanks! I stumbled upon this. Is it too good to be true? Genuine leather...50 colors and made to size!

I'd google the site to see if there are any reviews out there but it could end up being an amazing source for leather skirts! Maybe they don't have to deal with the mark up that most brands do. If you order from them, please let us know how it goes! good luck.
