Here’s Ashlee Simpson for you today. The newly divorced blonde beauty was once again spotted sporting a skirt while attending JCPenney’s celebration of the “I Heart Ronson” collection last week.

For the event, the younger sister of singer and actress Jessica Simpson wore a high-waisted printed maxi dress and paired it with a cropped black cami.

What do you think of Ashlee’s style? Would you say she looks like a complete disaster, or simply delightful?

Personally, I would have to say that ill-fitting cami has to go. It’s the one piece in her wardrobe that needs changing. On the other hand, the skirt actually looks very unique and can look fabulous with the right top and accessories.

Her skirt is by English fashion designer Charlotte Ronson. Unfortunately, I could not find any website selling that particular item.

Now let’s go back to Ashlee Simpson’s outfit. If you were her stylist, how would you dress up that cute tribal printed skirt for the launch event?

Would you say a classic and crisp collared white shirt and a wide belt would do the trick? It would be a look that’s elegant and glamorous…

Or would you let her go boho and let her wear a blousy top with lots of accessories to go with it instead, such as the ones below?

Or better yet, perhaps the question should be, how would you wear the skirt to the event? Care to share your thoughts?

On another note, if you’re looking to buy a similar-looking skirt, my recommendation would be this printed number from MINKPINK.

It is also high waisted but the A-cut is actually more flattering to wear. You can find it at Shopbop for an affordable $98:
