If you've got a plain old skirt with no detailing on that's crying out for a 2009 makeover, why not give it a bit of texture and volume by adding ruffles? The style has been huge on the catwalk this season and it's dead easy to DIY.
One More Moore has a brilliant tutorial here on how you can get the look. She's used an apron as the basis for her pattern, but it will work just as well on a skirt. You can either use various different fabrics and prints as shown on the right, or keep to the same texture and shade for very different but equally cool results.
