As far as footwear anything goes tennis shoes, flat sandals, sliders/mules, birkenstocks, loafers, pointed-toe heels, chunky black boots. Experiment with a shoe that fits your mood and makes your skirt work.
Pair your ankle brushing skirt with a jean jacket, leather jacket, or a cardigan. A blazer can give a more formal look.
