Fashion: Skirts go full circle

By SARA GLASSMAN, Special to the Star Tribune

A full skirt is a feminine way to be easy and breezy for spring. That's great news, since the A-line and to-the-knee silhouettes are flattering on most body types. Just be sure to balance your fuller bottom with a slimmer top -- try a simple fitted tee or a tucked blouse. Then billow away!
