This skirt is easy to wear and pack (doesn't wrinkle in a suitcase) and it's perfect for summer!  I bought this in brown and I just ordered another one in the light blue color because I've been getting so much use out of the brown one.  It's very flattering and casual.  Looks nice with a plain t-shirt or tank top.  The medium fits me pretty well (I usually wear a size 6), but if you want it to be a bit more snug around your waist, you may want to order a size down since it's stretchy.  I like wearing it lower on my hips, so the medium works well for me.  I'm not sure if it's worth $55 (the original listed price), but if you can snag one on sale for $35 or somewhere in that ballpark, I think it's a great deal.  Has worn well over the past month or so after many wearings and washings.
